Training and the like requires gold, and creatures themselves will expect to be paid periodically, so a constant influx of gold is necessary to prevent creatures from becoming upset or stagnated in their progress. Once there, creatures can be made to engage in several activities such as producing useful spells and items for their keeper or training in order to become more powerful. Minions will generally enter through any claimed Portal, with one usually being situated near the starting point. The main objective at the beginning of most levels is to create a dungeon of such magnitude and grandeur as to attract several types of powerful minions to one's cause.

On top of setting general goals for Imps, like tagging areas to be mined, the player can manually pick up and drop Imps and other creatures near tasks they wish them to perform. They will perform any given task without question, with their main duties being excavating and claiming land in addition to gold mining.

Electronic Arts, who eventually acquired Bullfrog Productions, announced Dungeon Keeper Online in 2008.

A skilled keeper must be sure creatures have easy access to things they like while being shielded from things they don't.ĭungeon Keeper was successful enough to warrant one commercial expansion, The Deeper Dungeons, which featured 15 new scenarios as well as several AI tweaks.

In addition to amassing a large enough army to defeat one's enemies as in most RTS games, Dungeon Keeper also requires the player to attend to the general well being of creatures under their control, making sure that they are well-paid, well-fed, and tasked with jobs that they enjoy. Though it can be most easily described as a real-time strategy game, it contains elements of many other game genres, such as god games, management simulations, role-playing games, and even first-person shooters. Developed by Bullfrog Productions under the direction of Peter Molyneux, Dungeon Keeper is a game focused on the creation and upkeep of a vast subterranean dungeon.
