“I had a lot of fun playing trough the campaign, I enjoy playing as the bad guy building up my forces and smashing the good guys. The mechanics are solid and I liked the management of my dungeon. The raids of the surface…”
“We played the entire campaign in co-op. What I liked: - Reliable way to turn off your brain in the evening. We bought all DLCs in the end - 2 player co-op works quite well, one player can play overworld, the other one…”
“If you've played the Dungeons series before, this will feel very familiar: dig for resources, build rooms and traps, slaughter heroes, and endure the cringy narration. It's an OK game - nothing groundbreaking, but I had…”

“Good funny game! I played every Dungeons games (starting at Dungeon Keeper) and I really liked this one too!”
“It's more of the same in both good and bad ways. The good is that it does not take itself seriously at all. Almost all of the minions from Dungeons 3 returned. Thalya and The Narrator return. The dialogue is still…”
“All in all a good and fun game (vanilla). Be prepared for a BIG difficulty spike in DLCs. Apparently some power gamers complained about the difficulty being too easy in the main game, a claim i can't support. This game…”

“Fun, silly, challenging. You get what you expect. Just obviously don't pretend this is some sort of "pro/core gamer" game or something. If that's what you are looking for maybe look somewhere else. That said there are…”
“Mechanics are greatly simplified compared to the previous games, not sure if I like it better now. The fun factor is there anyway, and the highest difficulty level can provide a serious challenge, almost unfair.”

“The tutorialized levels were a tad painful for the first few hours. Probably only because I beat Dungeons 3 right before playing this. Same great gameplay after that though! A fun 2-player experience :)”
“Fun for coop”

“I played the whole campaign and it really was so underwhelming. There was so much more that could be done with the game that wasn't done. The story was hollow and flat. It was predictable and really had so many avenues…”
“Too easy. Gets boring by mission 3 or 4.”
“its weird .. it feels like a tower defence game but the best strat is to not build defence.. in fact building defences can be punishing . the 4th wall breaking jokes are not my thing ,, very cringe ! but will give a…”

“Too easy. Gets boring by mission 3 or 4.”
“This game is gonzo, like over the top in terms scale and gameplay; moreso than Dungeons 3 (like having a level 10 hero instantly go from almost dead to full health several times when fighting them). The research tree is…”
“Just get Dungeons 3 instead, it's mechanically better in every possible way. Basically everything they've changed from 3 is mainly for the worse, adding gratuitous micro management without really offering any benefits…”

“The Narrator is fun and Deliciously witty! It would be fun and creative for there to be updates (possibly quarterly) to have the narrator comment about current events and put a evil twist on it :P But he is all around…”

“Should be amazing but has asinine mechanics that just make me want to uninstall it forever. Middle mouse doesn't rotate camera like it does in every single game like this ever made, and you can't rebind it from Pg Up…”

“If you like Dungeon Keeper from the old days you can get this without any thoughts. You will have fun building a dungeon and slaying heroes. Gameplay is fun, slapping workers is fun, slaying heroes is fun.”
— a player, Steam review · 34 hrs played“After more than 400 hours with Dungeons 4, I can confidently say it is one of the most enjoyable base-building strategy games I’ve played. It builds on the foundations of Dungeons 3, which was already excellent, but refines the gameplay and pacing in ways that make the whole…”
— a player, Steam review · 462 hrs played“I was a fan of Dungeon Keeper and Warcrafts when I was a kid. I was excited to play through Dungeons 3. I bought Dungeons 4 on sale. I like it less in every way than the 3rd. I think it doubles down on some of the worst parts of the third and updates to the format all cut…”
