Dungeons: The Dark Lord Announced

Kalypso Media’s Dungeons was released just this year, but it appears that the developers at RealmForge Studios are already hard at work on a sequel entitled Dungeons – The Dark Lord, which promises to add multiplayer, a new campaign and more. Provided the features are implemented well, it should be interesting at the very least. Here’s the press release:

Ridgewood, NJ, June 3, 2011 Today Kalypso Media USA unveiled Dungeons – The Dark Lord, a sequel to the critically acclaimed strategy game, Dungeons. In Dungeons – The Dark Lord, players will do their best to be at their most evil, and this time, they can bring friends along! The Dark Lord takes the basic premise of Dungeons; luring, capturing and torturing goody-goody heroes, and kicks it up to sinister new levels, adding multiplayer, a new story campaign, new prestige gimmicks and much more. Gamers can even play as some of the popular boss characters in the multiplayer modes.

In development by RealmForge Studios, Dungeons – The Dark Lord is the sequel to the much-loved Dungeons, the game where the more evil you are, the better! In Dungeons – The Dark Lord there’s a slew of exciting new features, including four-player multiplayer in three modes! Along with the addition of multiplayer modes such as Deathmatch and King of the Hill, there’s now the ability to play as some of the game’s popular bosses (Minos, The Dungeon Lord, the Zombie King and more) in multiplayer, along with the addition of an extensive single-player campaign, a new dungeon setting and approximately 25 unique prestige gimmicks.
