Many people called Evil Genius a clone of Dungeon Keeper, and not without reason. The games are united by the general concept of creating your own lair and managing minions, which has managed to develop into a separate genre. If you've played and enjoyed Dungeon Keeper or the modern Dungeonsseries, then you'll like Evil Genius.
You probably immediately noticed a big difference between EG and the games I mentioned - the visual design. This is not the typical demonic lair with various fantastic creatures, but a stylish spy adventure with many references to Bond. In my opinion, this is the only reason to check out the game.
It is very easy to get confused in the game by the number of Minions, enemy factions, and rooms. But once you figure it out a little, the game can drag on.
P.S. I don’t recommend it to those who can’t stand old games!
