Wccftech: 8 / 10 by Chris Wray
Dungeons 3 has taken the series to its highest point yet. While overbearing on the forced comedy, it can be genuinely funny. Most of all, though, it's addictive. Dungeons 3 features incredibly polished gameplay with great visuals and audio and the wide variety within the campaigns 20 missions never gets boring.
TheXboxHub: 4 / 5 by Trysten Schlottmann
If you like a base builder that harkens back to the age of Evil Genius and Dungeon Keeper, and can look past some performance issues and the occasionally stupid AI, then this is definitely one you should look at getting. It’s funny, it looks nice, and it will definitely fill that need to plunder and pillage!
GamePitt: 8.5 / 10 by Rob Pitt
Dungeons 3 is one of the best spiritual successors to Dungeon Keeper out there. There are plenty of missions with multiple objectives which will keep you busy for hours upon hours. As long as you ensure you have at least version 1.3 installed, I believe this game should be in anyone's library who enjoys the RTS and strategy genre.

Dungeons 3 Description
Dungeons 3 for PC, PS4 and XONE is a fantasy strategy game developed by Realmforge, creators of the previous two games of the series.
The Plot
Dungeons 3 continues the story from the previous games. Once again, we play as a Dungeon Lord who, after uniting the forces of evil and laying the foundations of the new empire of darkness, comes to conclusion that his ambitions are not yet fulfilled. He decides to recruit the priestess of dark elves, Thalya, so that she would lead his forces during the conquest of the surface world.
Mechanics
Dungeons 3 for PC, PS4 and XONE is a hybrid of a real-time and economic strategy. All three factions from the previous games (the Horde, the Undead, and the Demons) are present. This time, we can use units and technologies of all three of them at the same time. We have to decide if we like the flexibility of using assets of all of them, or we want to focus on one specialization that comes with one or two of them.
According to the series’ tradition, gameplay in Dungeons 3 is separated into two parts. The economic strategy where we build our dungeon empire is the primary one. We must gather resources, build new parts of our dungeon, recruit monsters, and invest in technological development. There are twenty types of new rooms.
The second part is a real-time strategy one, where we have to lead our army that fights with the forces of good on the surface.
Game Modes
All of the options mentioned above are available in the single player campaign that is made of twenty missions. The game also offers a freeplay mode where no quests or tasks are imposed. Mutliplayer can be played by up to four players in versus and cooperative modes. It is the first time in the series’ history that the latter one is available.
Multiplayer and skirmish maps are generated prodecurally, which is another novelty not present in the previous Dungeons games.
