10 Evil Video Games That Let You Be A True Tyrant!

The progenitor for the dungeon management game, Dungeon Keeper is a treasure of PC gaming history. Players oversee the construction and defence of a sprawling evil lair via the medium of the "Hand of Evil". That is, a floating disembodied hand that you can use to pick up resources, objects and creatures throughout the dungeon, as well as slap seven hells out of any of your minions just for fun. It's no wonder that all your minions, whether you abduct them from other Dungeon Keepers or they arrive through mysterious portals, will do your bidding no matter the personal risk.

At the outset, you're shown a location on a world map which is yours for corrupting. As you progress through the game, you'll be tasked with defending your lair from a whole host of plundering would-be heroes out to destroy your Dungeon Heart (killing you in the process). You'll also have to see off the forces of other Dungeon Keepers who don't want to share the land with another evil lord.

Dungeon Keeper has a unique dark sense of humour that keeps every moment of dungeon management just as fun as the last, and definitely deserves a place on this list.
