I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment, being called a clone of the greatest RTS game ever made... but moving on.
The key features that separate this game from DK 1 & 2 is the following:
Permanent Fog of War
-DK1 was far too easy due to once fog of war was deactivated in a region you were able to still see an area. This made strategy pretty easy
The game is story enriched
-DK had a very light story to the tale. We plan to juice up the drama and moral decisions made in the game
Dynamic Missions
-Instead of just kill your rival or the heroes, missions will be based also in exploration
Minion Merger Room
-This key feature will allow you to splice seperate minions into one minion. This will be a crucial requirement on certain levels
Different
abilities for the player
-Most of the powers aka spells are different except for the core 5 spells
--More info coming as they are built
Different Rooms
-The game does use many similar rooms seek in DK1 & 2 as they make sense
-However, we not use all seen in DK1 & 2 and we will creature our own custom rooms as well.
Active Dungeon King
-One big change is that you yourself will be able to play within the game
-You will have your own abilities and can not be placed or drop
--Mechanically a creature when killed the game is lost
--Mechanically a creature that can only be self-possessed
-Mechanically a creature that defends your dungeon throne when not selected
-In online play you can change your character
Different traps
-More info coming soon
Energy and Gold costs for actions
-Energy will help to level the playing field when you are broke or visa versa
--When running out of energy/gold and carrying creatures they drop from your hand.
No tutorials
-Jump in and get owned or master the game
Post Campaign Content
-Procedurally generated levels
-Mod support
-Ranked Multiplayer matches
-My special dungeon mode
--This is a continuous dungeon you manage which is connected to the PBU world. Be careful as your dungeon can suffer constant invasion from trolls.
-
Multiplayer
-Playing multiplayer on DK is pretty much not possible without going through a huge headache.
-Our game will support local and online(ranked) multiplayer
That is just the stuff planned, the game will evolve over time.
