The original dungeon defence game returns, but not to the PC from whence it came. EA is bringing back Dungeon Keeper as an iOS and Android mobile game later this year.
I know you’re upset, PC folks. Bullfrog’s classic was the sort of game you could only find on PC back in the late ’90s, a monument to the versatility of our platform of choice.
But doesn’t it just seem perfect for a large touch screen? The game’s tower defence with benefits. It’s almost as if visionary game designer Peter Molyneux was looking towards the future when he created Dungeon Keeper, to a time when we’d all be touching our games.
Either way, EA promises this new Dungeon Keeper will have all of the evil that made the original so compelling. Building dungeons, filling them with traps, cackling with glee. You’ll be able to invade other players’ dungeons with your army. There’ll even be wit. We like wit.
Hooray or boo, it’s up to you, but Dungeon Keeper mobile is coming and there’s nothing we can do. It’s very late where I am right now.

Their IP, their choice of platform. But I know I sure as hell won’t be buying it
I’m torn between fanboidom and common sense. There’s no way it will be the same game, but still… MOAR DK!
Gonna boot up KeeperFX now. Haven’t played that shit since last night.
The pc version of both 1&2 are on gog, its not like a mobile version is the only option around
I would love to get it for my iPad, I always did like the DK games
But the 2 letters “E” and “A” combined like that “EA” leaves a very, VERY, bitter taste….
Ill pass
I grabbed the “Dungeons” game in a Steam sale last weekend. It’s exactly like good old dungeon keeper in presentation – esp the pre level monologue. But it’s setup of rooms and use of monsters was deathly boring – would love to go back and play this when I’m supposed to be working.
Slap dat goblin!*
*not code
The art style seems to be more cartoony than the originals….I hope it has the depth of the originals and isn’t a DK lite…
Please don’t be free to play, please don’t be free to play, please don’t be free to play.
Tablet version of Evil Genius is what’s needed. But they need to fix the gameplay in it a bit 😛
First Carmageddon now Dungeon Keeper. Remade dos classics is the best reason to own a tablet yet!
Now we just need Syndicate
