Your mileage will vary on this, though, since the game throws out this stuff at almost every opportunity, whether it's a cutscene or some incidental dialogue. References to other games and media constantly mix in with a fourth-wall-breaking narrator, and Thalya constantly argues with herself about whether she should embrace the evil side or continue the struggle of being good. The story is fine, but the game is driven by its humor, and all of it comes through in the dialogue. The Absolute Evil's shadow possesses her, and she quickly returns to her old ways and seeks to rule the new continent in your name.
Enter Thalya, a dark elf who has been trying to suppress her evil urges by working for the side of good. Unfortunately, his attempts to send his forces via boat have ended in failure, causing him to seek an alternate means of conquering the lands. He soon discovers that there is a new continent that's untouched by evil, and he wants to fix that issue. Players take on the role of the Absolute Evil, which has succeeded in uniting the evil factions and ridding the world of good. Dungeons III follows up on the formula, and even though it hasn't improved much, the game still provides players with a good time.Īccording to the plot, some time has passed since the events of the second game.
Even though it wasn't perfect, the mix of genres worked well. Instead of being all about dungeon management, the game let you wreak havoc on the world with real-time strategy mechanics.
