10 Reasons Why The Original Dungeon Keeper Is Still Devilishly Awesome

7. Wickedly Humourous

The only indicator of your being is through the appearance of a demonic green hand. Using your excellent swatting skills, you can smack about your own creatures, complete with the splattering of blood. The Bile Demon (who was originally affectionately coded into the game as 'FatF*ck', allegedly named after someone on the development team) upon being slapped will react with giving you the middle finger then wobble off. Chickens also make excellent hand-hardeners as they will explode into a puff of feathers and entrails upon the swiftest slap. Bile Demons also decidedly drop a symphony of poisonous farts in the midst of battle, intoxicating both friend and foe. Dark Mistresses will not so subtly moan and groan whilst being kinkily whipped in the Torture Chamber. Not to mention the humorous ending of the game that involves a naughty mishap with a Warlock's talisman and troll breasts. Cue video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv7zEOwllfE But the true comedic nuggets emanate from Richard Ridings, who serves as your mentor in the game. He can be absolutely hilarious when describing each level of the campaign, both before and after you've corrupted it. During the game he will also expel random nuggets of hilarity, making you jump by randomly sneezing during one of the quieter and calmer moments of the game, or by telling you that your minions demand chocolate and that your pants are definitely too tight. Not to mention when he suddenly puts on a faux French accent and tell you that you're minions are developing the same intonation too. So you can really get a grasp on how dominating and authoritative his voice is, listen to his quotes and narration below. Forward to the 3.50 minute mark for some of the funnier ones, but the whole video is worth the listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OW0pb-psRQ
