You play as the Dungeon Lord, an evil ruler seeking to extend his dominion from the underworld to the human world. Build a network of dungeons, recruit monsters, and resist the heroes who come to stop you.
Underground, dig out space, construct rooms, gather resources, train creatures, and prepare traps and defenses for incoming raids. The Hand of Terror lets you pick up minions and give them direct orders.
The game alternates dungeon management with real-time battles on the surface, where you lead your army against human forces and settlements. A story campaign features two playable factions, alongside multiplayer modes for up to four players.
Players who enjoy Dungeons 2 often praise the satisfaction of expanding and defending a dungeon, along with the sarcastic narrator and comedy. Some also like switching between underground management and surface attacks. Opinions differ on the jokes, and recurring criticisms include shallow or clunky surface combat, an easy or short campaign, and gameplay that can grow repetitive.
