Single-play Variations

There are three different ways to play Dungeon Keeper 2 by yourself, depending on what kind of mood you're in:

Skirmish

The skirmish game is very much like a multiplayer game, except that you are playing against computer-controlled keepers rather than against flesh-and-blood competitors. Once you select skirmish, you will be taken to a set-up screen that will let you configure your play session.

You can select from the 19 multiplayer maps or have a map selected at random. The map will determine the total number of keepers in the game, but you can drop down that number by highlighting a keeper and clicking the Kick Player button.

If you click on Game Settings, you can customize nearly every aspect of the game. For more information on what's available here, see the section on multiplayer gaming.

My Pet Dungeon

Think of this as an evil and corrupted sandbox. In My Pet Dungeon, you'll have a number of lands to choose from (you must earn a certain number of points on a land to unlock the next land). The only goal here is fun (and the point total if you want to check out the other dungeons). You have no overt goal or time limit, and the entire research and trap tree is available to you in each game.
