❤ Dungeon Building and Management

Players can build and manage their own evil dungeon to suit the needs of their creatures. The game features dungeons up to four times larger than previous entries, allowing for more sprawling and dynamic layouts. Players can plan out rooms and structures in advance, even without the immediate resources to build them. The game introduces "Snots" as a dedicated worker faction. These Snots operate machinery and facilities within the dungeon, enabling players to specialize their creature types rather than having each perform various tasks. Players must carefully manage resources like gold, evilness, and creature happiness to ensure their lair remains secure and functional. Evilness is crucial, as it powers demonic resurrection and the abilities of the player's hero, Thalya.

❤ Overworld Conquest

In addition to dungeon building, the game features a real-time strategy overworld where players can send their creatures to conquer the forces of good. This requires balancing time and resources between the dungeon and overworld. Players gain evilness by defeating mini-boss creatures in the overworld, which can then transform the environment into twisted, evil biomes. The overworld is larger than previous games, providing more territory for players to conquer.

❤ Creature Management and Abilities

The game offers a diverse roster of creature types, including the Horde, Undead, and Demons. Each faction has unique abilities and strengths, allowing players to specialize their playstyle. The new perk system grants the player character, Thalya, impressive new powers and abilities to aid in overworld conquest. Creature abilities can also be enhanced through research, adding strategic depth.

❤ Difficulty and Replayability

Reviews indicate a good balance of challenge and accessibility. The campaign features varied mission objectives and escalating difficulty, keeping players engaged. Achievements and the ability to customize Thalya's perks provide additional replayability, as players strive to complete objectives in new and creative ways.
