Gameplay

54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A worthy spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper with modern mechanics and consistent post-launch support."
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Narrated beautifully, visually still strong even after nearly a decade, with mostly fun goals to work towards and an interesting, but ultimately fairly bare-bones story - WFTO is something I really enjoyed playing, though as with anything, it did have it's share of poor moments.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Like Dungeon Keeper Online, this game uses BLIZZARD-like visuals, but all in all, it's impossible not to notice just how similar the design here is to what we had in DK2.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Humor & Voice Acting: The narrator (voiced by the original Dungeon Keeper narrator, Richard Ridings) adds a lot of charm and personality.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It skillfully blends base-building, resource management, and tactical combat, allowing players to step into the shoes of an evil Underlord intent on reclaiming the Underworld from rival forces.
