Still an amazing game, even after all these years. Seeing as this is still an MS-DOS game, if you're used to modern gameplay, it can be a bit frustrating to play if you're not used to the way things worked back then. It is a bit unfortunate that no effort was put into slightly modernising the game before putting it on steam. However, luckily there's a fan-made expansion etc, called KeeperFX, that greatly improves usability, screen resolution, ... Definitely have look at that and consider installing it. You do need the base game, like this Dungeon Keeper Gold version, KeeperFX is not a standalone software package. I'm still sad that after Dungeon Keeper 2, no more games with this concept were developed. It's incredibly fun to play and can be quite challenging at times.

Dungeon Keeper: A Nostalgic Dive into the Depths of Evil Some games age like fine wine, and Dungeon Keeper is one of them. Released in 1997 by Bullfrog Productions, this dungeon-building classic still holds up today with its pixelated charm, creative mechanics, and darkly humorous spirit. For anyone who played it when it came out—or those curious about where the dungeon-building subgenre began—it’s a worthwhile trip down memory lane. The pixel art, though unmistakably old-school, blends seamlessly with its 3D environments, giving the game a surprisingly polished aesthetic. Few games since have captured the magic of crafting your own dungeon, populating it with creatures, and fending off heroic invaders with the same flair. The game’s personality shines in every corner. The voice acting remains a standout feature. The narrator’s darkly comedic lines set the tone perfectly, while the creatures’ amusing exclamations—especially their variations of "Wheee!" when dropped—never fail to entertain. The character designs, from lumbering bile demons to enigmatic warlocks, brim with charm and personality. The most satisfying aspect of Dungeon Keeper is its commitment to letting players revel in their villainy. Capturing heroes, torturing them, and converting them to fight for you is as devious as it is rewarding. Leveling these former enemies to their peak and unleashing them in the next map feels like the pinnacle of evil genius. And once you’ve conquered a level, the game lets you dig out every corner, uncover secrets, and watch your imps systematically dismantle the map—a cathartic and enjoyable experience. No game from the ’90s is without quirks. Some maps feel frustratingly linear, with one "correct" strategy that the developers intended. Others suffer from pacing issues: some levels drag on, while others are over in minutes if you’ve brought the right creature from the previous level. The mechanic of carrying over monsters and heroes, while fun, can unbalance the game—though mods like KeeperFX address this with a NewGame+ mode that disables the feature. Despite these dated elements, Dungeon Keeper is a joy to revisit. For those looking to play today, KeeperFX enhances compatibility with modern systems and smooths out rough edges. Personally, I prefer sticking to the base game and Deeper Dungeons expansion, which offer plenty of content without diving into community levels. Revisiting Dungeon Keeper has been a blast, and it’s left me eager to dive into Dungeon Keeper 2. For anyone who played it during its heyday, this is a must-have addition to your collection. For newcomers curious about the roots of dungeon-building games, it’s an excellent starting point. RIP Bullfrog—you are sorely missed. This game is a nostalgic joy and a testament to your legacy.

It's an excellent game and an easy favorite for me, I wish there were more like it. I come back to it every few years since 1997. This is just the DOSBox port with no additional enhancements (same as the version on GOG) and you should probably pick up KeeperFX for its bugfixes and enhanced visuals and compatibility. You need the original game files to run KeeperFX, but it's a standalone remake with some additional content (of sometimes questionable quality) restored.

Your creatures are under attack! Your creatures are falling in battle. Your creatures are falling in battle. Your minions are winning a battle. Your creatures are falling in battle. Hungry creatures cannot get to a Hatchery. Your minions are winning a battle. Some of your minions are unable to reach the Treasure Room. Your creatures are falling in battle. Beware; the Lord of the Land approaches.

Buy this then go get KeeperFX, I really don't know why they don't endorse these fans who literally remastered the game for free ! (you need the original game to use it).
