Game Overview:
“Evil Genius” is a satirical, single-player real-time strategy and simulation game where you step into the shoes of a nefarious mastermind striving for world domination. Inspired by the spy thrillers of the 1960s and 70s, particularly the James Bond series, this game allows you to indulge in the fantasy of being an evil genius, complete with all the clichés and humor of the genre.
Key Features:
Lair Construction: Build and customize your secret underground lair, choosing from over 300 items to create rooms like kung fu academies, rocket caverns, and laboratories. Each item adds to the functionality and style of your base, tailored to your strategy for global conquest.
Minion Management: Recruit and train minions in various nefarious trades. They can be specialized in military, scientific, or social fields, each with unique abilities that help in running your operations or defending against intrusions.
Henchmen: Command unique, powerful henchmen like The Butcher or The Matron to undertake missions, protect your lair, or engage in combat. Each henchman has special abilities, making them crucial in different scenarios.
Acts of Infamy: Send your minions on global missions to steal treasures, kidnap dignitaries, or complete other “Acts of Infamy” to increase your notoriety and fund your operations. These missions are key to advancing your evil plan.
Defend Against Forces of Justice: Manage heat levels as you fend off waves of agents, including super agents from various international alliances, each with unique skills and goals. Utilization of traps, interrogation devices, and strategic lair design is vital to keep your operations secure.
Doomsday Device: The ultimate goal is to construct a doomsday device that will ensure your reign over the world. Each step towards this goal increases your influence but also attracts more attention from the forces of justice.
Humor and Atmosphere: The game’s heart lies in its tongue-in-cheek humor, with cartoonish visuals and a script filled with spy genre parodies. The atmosphere is a blend of ’60s spy-fi with an over-the-top, comedic twist on villainy.
Gameplay Dynamics: The game divides its play into managing your lair and executing global acts of infamy. You’ll need to balance resources, manage minion morale, and strategically plan your defense and expansion.
Character Selection: Choose from three distinct Evil Geniuses at the start, each with unique abilities and styles, influencing how you play the game.
