From the default camera view, the game doesn't look much different than the original title. It’s here that Evil Genius 2 shows off its new visuals. You carve out rooms, including an operations control room and training facilities, and your minions complete your orders at their earliest convenience. In Evil Genius 2, you lack direct minion control, so you operate more like a middle manager. You’ll focus on creating a fiendish, sprawling complex hiding behind your casino front. Emma is the modern spin doctor who reduces her crew's negative perception.Įach Genius plays largely the same, despite those small, flavor differences.
Zalika is the mad scientist of the bunch, complete with a glass-dome helmet you’d find in 1950s, pulp sci-fi. Red Ivan is the Red Scare personified, a megalomaniacal general who controls more combat-focused minions. He has the ability to command more minions than the other geniuses. Maximilian returns from the first game, a cartoonish spin on Ernst Stavro Blofeld from You Only Live Twice. You select one of four Geniuses this time, with each playing on a different spy-genre archetype. The point is that you succeed where every other evil mastermind has failed. You push your organization to steal and kill its way towards completing a huge doomsday device that will definitely…do something. In Evil Genius 2, you’ll sit in the plush, leather chair of an evil mastermind who has world domination goals. Despite that, this $39.99 sequel has a few rough edges carried forward from the classic entry, and new features that could use better implementation. Evil Genius 2 works because the original title was such a great PC game, so more of the same is a good thing. In fact, it almost feels like a clone, but with improvements courtesy of updated technology and new features. Evil Genius 2: World Domination is very much the child of that first game. Evil Genius received decent reviews, but it didn't get a sequel to expand the concept-until now. The first Evil Genius, released to PC in 2004, was a curious mix of another PC gaming classic, Dungeon Keeper, and the James Bond spy films. It’s rare for a video game to receive a full sequel nearly two decades after its release.
