“At first the game is fun, you have to build all your facilities and shape out what kind of a lair you want to build. But the mid to late game is very boring, nothing really happens. The World Map missions are…”
“I'm what I assume is half-way through my first playthrough. Initially its a really fun, if obviously watered down version of what Evil Genius was. However, as other reviewers state, it becomes very tedious after a…”
“naw naw naw man its a good followup. The only thing I need to say for people who played EG1 before this is that it IS way less kick you in the nutsack levels of hardcore. Good. The other note is that I genuinly think…”

“Beginning has a good pace, but the mid to late game is [b]very boring[/b] because you need to wait for every single thing in this game. Missions are boring and extremely repetitive, even the main story. Research is so…”
“The Good: great graphics and performance. Research is faster than the first game, The Bad: dumbed down to cater to a younger audience as compared to the first one. In doing so, lost the humor, 50's-90's movie references…”
“Quite ok -- nails the aesthetic but adds nothing. The artstyle is great and base building is improved over the original. Other than that, the game isn't significantly different from the original and in some crucial…”

“it 1$ when sale, no complain very good game”
“Love the game but feels like its missing something. Also feels a bit disjointing with the gameplay on the map. Grab this game when its on sale.”
“Fun little game, especially for the price obtainable from different sources. Did not play the first thou some say it was a better game than this. Some mechanics are repetitive or imprison minions for alternative fun…”

“A very fun and witty dungeon or lair creator great game fun campaign if you like games like dungeon 1-4 this game will probly be up your ally”
“It's a surprisingly deep game once you get into it. It runs really smooth, the art style is fun, and I laughed a fair number of times. I actually found myself roleplaying a little bit at one point having the top floor…”

“Abandoned game, devs went out of their way to make it unmodable \ very hard to do it. Like the first game this game is now lost to time due to that decision. It's a fun game but the end game is totally unbalanced and your not allowed to have enough minions to keep your base…”
— a player, Steam review · 192 hrs played“Let's get the negatives out of the way: - Mission progression feels very repetitive. A lot of it boils down to clicking icons on the world map, doing research that doesn’t meaningfully expand gameplay, or briefly interacting with objects. It gets especially noticeable because…”
— a player, Steam review · 23 hrs played“So, the base game is okay, really just fine. This is getting a thumbs down because the bean counters milked this game for what cash they thought it could produce and then dropped it. No more support, further DLC, or even mod support. The DLC that is there is crap that wouldn't…”
