For me, when it comes to gameplay and mechanics, the best part of the whole game is the base building itself and setting up elaborate trap systems, i had a lot of fun designing my perfect base and it is very satisfying to see your base running on it's own once everything is ticking along

The cartoonish visuals perfectly suit the game’s comedic tone, while the audio design enhances the experience with jazzy, spy-inspired music and over-the-top voice acting.
Story

Plus, one thing I love here is that unlike some other entrants in this small sub-genre, Evil Genius has a very clear throughline and ending.
Audio

The voice acting for the 3 different Evil Geniuses and their Henchmen is awesome.
