Early Access Review
Very good base and beta of the game, finsihed the current 'short' cmpagain and cant wait for more!
*REASONS TO PLAY*
-If you liked dungeon keeper 1/2 (not EA one)
-If you like being the bad guy and kill the 'heroes'
-Like to stragtegically build a defense to destroy people
-Scary beats and evil wariors and such
-Like RTS games
-Likes being an evil god in control of his own minions

Gamemodes:

*SURVIVAL MODE*
Anyway, I feel that the survival gamemode is too lag-intensive, also there is not enough time to rebuild your defenses and stuff, I had to toggle infinite gold and build midas doors to support the super lag intensive waves of dwarves, ember spirits, behememoths, pigs, and as such, also, I was like how is a person who does not us ethe debug menu survive this? As if they DO break through the doors, kill all your monsters then you die, wait unless your NOT supposed to survive until wave 20 :P my com almost crashed. Anyway fun gamemode! Makes it feel like a tower defense game with endless mode xD
*CAMPAGIAN*
Want more! I want to kill more goodly heroes! well I felt lazy in the 2nd episode of the campagin and spawned juggernauts in the core xD. Well, enjoyed the story and how its a half tutorial while strategically positioning your units to destroy the enimes miserable forces, feels so good to swarm them and they die in seconds, also currently there wasnt any sort of time limit to the campagian so far so I liked the casual feel to it.
*SANDBOX*
Ah, my favourite gamemode, you should know why. Play this gamemode if you want to experiment dungeon builds, also if you dig the wrong block you always have the replacment block, so dont worry, buidl your desired dungeon!
*MULTIPLAYER*
Well... havent tried it yet due to bad internet, sorry []

Pros:
-Like dungeon keeper
-Nice graphics
-smooth gamplay(For me)

Cons:
-Early acess, not much to campagain just yet
-Some glitchy pathing here and there
-Sometimes monsters just derp out or run in circle


Overall:
This game is still in early acess, so don't really expect that much, but really excited for the whole game and expect this to be another sucess like dungeon keeper!
7/10
