Dungeons 2 
Gamescom Day 3 is wrapping up, and while the bulk of reveals and teasers were consigned to the previous two days, there were still some new images and videos dished out today. Check out the latest from Cities: Skylines, Dungeons 2, Final Fantasy XV, Hearts of Iron IV, and Stellaris!
Another week has flown by and 18 new videos have launched over the past several days! In the first half of Film Friday we have trailers for Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Don't Starve, Dungeons 2, EVE Online, ORBIT, The Weaponographist, Total War: Warhammer, Triad Wars and Warhammer 40K: Regicide.
Realmforge Studios' Dungeons 2 will be releasing on Steam tomorrow, April 24th. We took an early look at the game last month and returned to give its campaign a new look, as well as dipping into the skirmish and multiplayer features.
The campaign mode has been optimized since our earlier playthrough, taking care of the extra polish we were concerned that the game needed. Once you pass the tutorial mission, the in-dungeon gameplay is quite similar to the Dungeon Keeper series. You play as the Ultimate Evil's hand, build your dungeon, gather creatures, mine gold and thwart attacks on your dungeon.
Dungeons 2 is an upcoming RPG dungeon simulator developed by Realmforge Studios and published by Kalypso Media, where you'll find yourself playing the Prime Evil—or his Hand of Terror, at least. We put on our best-looking sinister hat and went hands-on with a pre-release version of the game.
The first order of business in Dungeons 2 is a quick tutorial mission where you play as the invincible Prime Evil. The game has a top-down view, with WASD panning the map, which has a fog of war for you to uncover. Using click-to-move (RMB for basic attack) you'll plow through those pesky heroes, who have the nerve to be happy on the overworld.
Unfortunately, these heroes don't appreciate being completely slaughtered, and once you have the basics down you'll find yourself returned to the underworld. How they managed to get the best of the Prime Evil is unknown, but you're left only being able to control things through his Hand of Terror.
Mark your calendars for April 24th: the Dungeon Lord will rise again in Dungeons 2! A mix of RTS and strategy, the game will see you building your dungeon in the underworld and launching attacks upon the overworld. Competitive multiplayer supports up to four players, with four different modes available.
The game appears to be the spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper that fans have been waiting for.
