For those who enjoyed Dungeon Keeper comes another game called "Impire 2013" which is similar. [Video Included]

I'm really sorry guys for posting so many games in one day, but if I come across anything I think someone might be interested in I have to share it with the rest of you.

I have been watching news videos, and I came across this game called Impire 2013. It's similar to Dungeon Keepers, but I have no real idea except for what the video is explaining. I have been a fan of Dungeon Keeper, and DKII, so I will be taking a closer look at this game.

Impire
Description

Deep in the underworld of Ardania, a threat of the most evil nature grows and multiplies with an appetite for destruction that is unsurpassed. Summoned from the depths of the Bottomless Pit, the (once) mighty Báal-Abaddon has been torn from his throne of skulls and imprisoned in an earthly body of less-than-imposing stature (he's an Imp, OK?) to serve the none-too-competent sorcerer Oscar van Fairweather. But unfortunately for Fairweather, the luck of the damned is on Báal's side and he soon breaks free to build his own dark and majestic... Impire.

In Impire, you take control the of demon Báal-Abaddon as he attempts to rebuild his mighty hell spawn form. With the aid of dozens of evil creatures big and small as well as an arsenal of spells, you will help him construct a dungeon underworld of limitless evil and nastiness to stop all those pesky Heroes of Ardania from ruining his return to greatness!

Dungeon Keeper was a great game!

I agree. I've been watching a few videos of the game, and it does look like that there are some cool features but I'm not all that convinced. I also noticed that you have to be connected continuously to Steams Cloud server otherwise you might not be able to play it, or save your game.

I guess from the way it looks Steam is going to force almost every game they are selling to have you stay online like what Blizzard has been doing to have the ability to play the game, and save your games otherwise you'll run into sync errors causing corrupt saved data.

That for me unfortunately would be a deal breaker. Oh well...

Steam games can be played offline unless this is something new

Your right, it was a blast to play.

This game Impire requires you to be connected to Steams Cloud server to properly save your game. If you are not connected to the cloud server you are not able to play the campaign, you will only be able to play in skirmish mode which is a watered down version of skirmish that we are all use too. Mind you I could be wrong, but from what I have seen so far it appears that way.

Not all games that Steam offers requires you to be connected to their Cloud server which is far better than having to be, unfortunately this game requires it.
