God, I loved that game. I still have it in a box around here somewhere. There was never anything like it again.

I'm just glad Red Ivan is a playable character now instead of a man bent on nuking your base from the inside.

"The Sims with *even* more murder"? Is that a Call Me Kevin reference?

The game was on my wishlist the second the trailer popped out. Absolutely hyping it.

Although the first game was really good, it had a looot of flaws. any trap mechanics becoming kinda useless because your minions are almost the only one who trigger them, a lot of bugs and softlocks, hotel being kinda useless too. With that a lot of small things that were kinda plus and minus at the same time, like sabotage squad spawning in your generator room( ofc there is a witty counter to this, but untill you figure it out its auto loose everytime), superagents being really big pain in the ass, but also giving the game such more flavor(like thats why they called superagents). Not saying about all the glitches and exploits, oh boi, those times when its either you exploit the game into oblivion or the game beats you senseless.

Anyway, all my support to you guys, really waiting for any news on the game.

I wishlisted Evil Genius 2 moment the trailer dropped. That game was one of my favorites when it came out. Even if it had bugs and exploits and issues, it was still something that was not done at the time. Sure, there was Dungeon Keeper, but Evil Genius was just *more*. It wasn't just building a lair, it was also taking over the world, in your own terms.

Favorite "trick" of Evil Genius 1: Using a no-security door disguise a high-security door. Civvies walk through the basic door and leave the security door alone, but secret agents see "Oh, an unlocked door? Nothing important behind that, " and just walk away from the beginning. I forget if there needed to be some space between the doors or if they could be placed directly behind each other.
It sure saved my power room from being assaulted on numerous occasions, that's for sure.
P.S. I still have the menu music on my phone to listen to whenever I need it.

So happy to see this! My two favorite parts of the game were loot and the quirky humor in the missions and post-mission radio chatter. I still laugh every time Bill and Larry go at it when you complete a west-coast USA mission.

i played this back when it was released, wasnt long ago i picked it back up and completed it for the first time lol, then i wondered how great it would be to have a sequal... then i googled Evil Genius 2 and all i could feel was intense joy and anticipation... what a great game, i cant even wait to put down my pre-order!

I loved designing my lair, getting to try and come up with a series of traps. I liked to put usually put a fan on one junction that would blast people into a wall, passing through the lasers that trigger another fan opposite the entrance, which would then blow them through another laser, triggering the knockout gas right at my entrance. It allowed curious lookers a chance to get further into my base and not disrupt my minions so much by constantly triggering traps at the front door.

This is one of my favourite games ever love base building especially this kind of theme and setting. Cant wait for evil genius 2

*I have to agree, I had a real good laugh building my "Not A Fake Entrance, the Perpetual Agent Slayer" last time I played Evil Genius.*

I first started playing EG when it came out in 2004 and recently got back into it and just found out that EG2 is on the way, awesome!

[fangeo]

“Questionably scaled trophy”, thank you, that was perfect!!

[dextrian]

I love how you finish the "heroes" ...
there was the "bruce lee" agent, that was invincible in a fight.... so how? how to defeat him?... drug him, and make him lose a fight :) ... evil... genius...

[baroncalamityplus]

The biggest problem with the first game is you could design the perfect lair only to have a spy pop up in the middle of nowhere, avoiding all the traps, causing havok.

[alexkopteev]

Still love this game, old but really awesome work :) Now waiting for pt2

For people wanting a taste of EG 2, theres a game on newgrounds called Mastermind: World Conqueror. Its basically a prototype for EG 2.
