Annoncé depuis environ un mois, Dungeons, développé par Realmforges Studios et édité par Kalypso Media, vous propose de devenir le Seigneur d’un donjon ténébreux. Fortement inspiré de Dungeon Keeper (et peut-être aussi de Majesty) mais affirmant sa différence, Dungeons permettra le recrutement de 10 héros différents et d’une quinzaine de créatures que vous devrez combattre au travers d’une campagne de 20 missions.
Pour ceux ne connaissant pas le principe de Dungeon Keeper, c’est un jeu qui vous plonge dans un univers loufoque, univers dans lequel vous dirigez des créatures dans de multiples labyrinthes. Votre tâche étant de toujours les satisfaire, vous deviez tout mettre en oeuvre pour leur permettre, entre autres, d’attaquer des valeureux héros du bien souhaitant combattre l’infame seigneur que vous êtes. Dungeons, jeu de Stratégie-Simulation Temps Réel se profile d’ores et déjà comme un digne successeur de Dungeon Keeper.
Dans Dungeons, vous serez à la tête de gobelins s’occupant d’aménager votre labyrinthe, de héros tendant des pièges sournois aux preux chevaliers, pendant que vos prisons et vos chambres de torture s’occuperont de récupérer l’énergie des malheureux prisonniers afin d’augmenter vos pouvoirs.
Pour de plus amples informations, voyez sur GameZone une interview du Creative Director Christian Wolfertstetter, qui approfondis certains sujets tels que les différences majeures entre Dungeons et Dungeon Keepers, la gestion du bien et du mal, les boss, la jouabilité et quelques éléments de RPG. La sortie du jeu est prévue pour le premier trimestre 2011.

Prepare to Unleash Your Devious Side as Kalypso Media Announces “Dungeons”Think you can hack it as an evil Dungeon Lord?
Bracknell, UK – 12th August 2010
Kalypso Media, a global publisher of award-winning PC and console games is pleased to unveil Dungeons, an all new strategy simulation title for Windows PC which will take players on a devious adventure through the depths of the underworld. Prepare to have the roles reversed as you play a despicable Dungeon Lord whose job is to create fiendish dungeons to lure and trap heroes who dare to try and steal your treasure. Dungeons is currently in development by Realmforge, a Kalypso Media studio and is scheduled for release in Q1 2011.
Dungeons follows the mis-adventures of the foremost of all Dungeon Lords, who spends his time luring heroes into his labyrinthine creations with the promise of treasure and a good fight — only to be trapped by his ingenious devices. Once they are in his grasp, our Dungeon Lord must look after and cherish his new found prisoners until they are more comfortable with their surroundings because come the “harvest”, happy heroes have more precious soul energy for you to gleefully extract via foul prisons or twisted torture chambers!
In Dungeons, our protagonist falls victim to a devious plot hatched by his vile, nasty and thoroughly vicious ex-girlfriend and finds himself at the bottom of the underworld hierarchy and the top of the dungeon pile which in this world is about as bad as it can get. Our Lord must have his revenge, and make his way back down the dungeon levels to his rightful place — but first he must deal with his new bosses, the three despicable Dungeon Lords who stand in his way.
At his disposal are his dim-witted goblin minions who dig tunnels and build rooms to lay out his lair and trap ever stronger and braver heroes who dare to enter, not forgetting to plot his revenge against his ex-girlfriend and his new bosses who think it’s great fun to bombard him with useless tasks. It goes without saying that a malicious and sneaky creature such as our Dungeon Lord has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Revenge will be sweet indeed.
