Yahtzee reviews Evil Genius 2: World Domination, discussing its base-building inefficiencies, minion management issues, and inconsistent gameplay. Learn why it's a sucker trap.
Walkthrough
- 1The game focuses on building a retro Bond villain lair and managing minions to pour resources into world map heists and schemes.
- 2Base design is inefficient, with strict room designations and the inability to place essential items like fire extinguishers or guard posts outside of designated corridors.
- 3Minion management is hands-off, which can be problematic when direct intervention is needed to deal with intruders or agents.
- 4Combat and defense rely heavily on traps, but minions can be unpredictable, sometimes engaging enemies prematurely or getting caught in their own traps.
- 5The game's inconsistency is highlighted by the super-agent invasion, where the evil genius can single-handedly defeat the threat, undermining the core challenge of base protection and delegation.
Tips
- Focus on trap placement for base defense, as relying solely on guards can be unreliable.
- Be mindful of minion AI and pathfinding when designing your base to avoid inefficient travel times.
- Consider the direct combat capabilities of your evil genius as a last resort, but be aware it can diminish the game's intended challenge.
- Research and develop weapons and equipment, but ensure minions can access them efficiently.
