Beat on loan from my coworker using her DS. Dungeon Keeper this is not. I found the game and its simplistic design to remind me of Animal Crossing, which is a series that I find sickening in its entire lack of engaging content. Not that I have ever played it; my ex wife did. So I barely managed to maintain enough motivation to keep playing and the entire time was think about how I would much rather be playing Dungeon Keeper. The entire game is very formulaic with pretty much no room for player creativity. Build the rooms in such a way to fight 3 enemies at once, farm said enemies for drops, repeat. I give it 5.5/10.
