Reminds me of Dungeon Keeper, a old PC game where you have to build your own dungeon, with rooms for your monsters, treasure room, magic room to research spells, etc. Heroes try to invade your dungeon, and you also have to fight neighbouring dungeons. One of the cool feature was that while monsters were controlled by an AI, you could take manual control of one, going to a first person view and playing like a FPS game.
So yeah, seeing this feels like Dungeon Keeper meets Minecraft. Which could be very interesting if executed properly, but it's not going to be easy.
- thedaemon 11y agoDungeon Keeper is still one of the best PC games ever. I still play it to this day. I wish they would come out with an updated version, like DK1.. not DK2.
- robocaptain 11y agoTry KeeperRL: http://keeperrl.com/ http://keeperrl.com/ Started getting some attention in the roguelike world but it's really not a traditional roguelike... just an awesome Dungeon Keeper-esque game.

- dividuum 11y agoYou might give KeeperFX a try. It's a mod that reuses the existing exe file but builds around it. IIRC it allows higher resolutions, adds more maps/campaigns and makes it possible to run Dungeon Keeper on newer Windows versions without problems.

- hacker_9 11y agoAh this game had so much potential, but in the end they didn't really manage to capture DK's spirit, and the game play ended up being uninteresting and frustrating. The constant stream of game breaking bugs didn't help either.

- samstave 11y agoThat was a fun game! Ever play Knights and Merchants? that game was wonderful, albeit buggy when you got too big a city. HNGHHGUHG - the sound of a serf dying due to the AI not able to properly manage routing of all the serfs when you had a big city with >100 serfs. So many hours spent on that game in 1997-98
