How it feels
A darkly comedic power fantasy where you command mischievous minions through a twisted fantasy world, balancing slapstick destruction with strategic choices.

What players say
Players praise the humor and story, and many compare it to Fable, but poor camera controls and unreliable minion AI frustrate repeatedly. The final fight is widely criticized, and the Raising Hell expansion adds little content.
