OpenDungeons is a real-time strategy game made open source with some aspects in common with others also known within its category, among which we can mention, for example, Dungeon Keeper and Evil Genius. All the adventures in this title take place in a series of subway dungeons inhabited by all sorts of creatures that will undoubtedly fill you with fear.

Our first mission then involves controlling these creatures, trying to become the dominant players through all sorts of spells and combats in which you will test your ability to impose yourself. We can make all kinds of traps for our enemies to fall into, so you can take your wickedness to the maximum if you want to cause real damage.

In addition, you must remember that OpenDungeons is a game we can enjoy both in Single Player mode, which would come to be the primary or most straightforward. Still, we also have a Multiplayer mode available, as you can see in the images accompanying this review, in case you intend to keep more advanced strategies with your colleagues.

In either case, the most important thing to know is that nothing would be possible in OpenDungeons if it weren't for the creatures that are part of the game, many of which will even be willing to die for you. The truth is that they can also perform other tasks, such as digging and searching for elements, fighting with invaders, destroying different structures, or creating others, all according to what you order them to do. For this reason, you must learn to take care of them and get to know them to get the most out of them.

When you open the game, you will find a relatively simple main menu, in which the main functions or sections you can enter appear, among which are some such as Options , Campaign, or Replay .

We just wanted to talk about the latter, taking into account that it is a function that will allow us to visualize the last adventure we have played, to check what were all the moves we made, and thus be able to obtain some considerations or conclusions that allow us to achieve better strategies later when facing new creatures that put us in danger.

You will see, in that same main menu that we mentioned, that there is also the function ofMap Editor, which is a section that allows you to perform the tasks that its name announces. If you want to develop or edit your maps to later play on them and give a personal touch to this game, do not doubt that you will be able to entertain yourself a lot with this feature.

Finally, suppose you want to modify everything related to the title's graphic resolution, the sounds accompanying the adventure, and many others. In that case, you can always access the Options section, which is also in the initial menu.

If you want to know what kind of creatures you will find in OpenDungeons, you should know that there are guardians, heroes, fighters, and many others. You must learn to differentiate them and see how each of them acts in certain circumstances since only in this way will you have the chance to know which one to use in each case.

And what do these creatures ask for to work with us? Not much, but it is convenient that you comply whenever you can if you don't want problems. Indeed, some of the issues you must abide by our offering them a bed in their dormitory, food at the end of each day, and a payment that must be made in gold. If you don't follow these rules, it is likely that soon your creatures will leave you abandoned, so try to avoid this if you don't want your dungeon to end up abandoned.

As for the game's interface and graphics, we have to say that they are nothing out of this world and that there will surely be many other entertainment options that will seem better achieved at this point. The truth is that once you get the hang of the title, something that can take a couple of hours, it is entertaining, and you can have a good time trying to master your creatures and defeat the enemy.

On the other hand, if you have become an OpenDungeons fan, we recommend you look at the different forums and Internet channels where both developers and players comment on the circumstances they go through in the game. It is one of the best ways to learn to take advantage of all the vicissitudes we may encounter when advancing within this title.

In summary, we can say that OpenDungeons is a good game, perfect for those looking for a real-time strategy proposal with fantasy elements without being too demanding in terms of graphics. However, the advantage is that it is a game that is not too demanding regarding system resource consumption.
