In a magical and distant world, everything was lush and green. Unicorns roamed among the trees while elves and humans lived peacefully in harmony with their nature. However, in a corner of a clear space, hidden among the trees, a figure bends over a large and menacing crystal ball. A murmuring voice chants ancient spells, calling the sparkling secret shadows within the crystal ball to reveal the future.

The voice growls: “Everything is in flux, nothing seems certain. Come, oh fluctuations of time and space, part the veil and show us what is to come.” The figure, barely discernible in the dim light, listens carefully and continues to murmur. “Time flows and ebbs, creating pools and wrinkles... but when the mists clear, only uncertain images emerge from the veil. Shhh—don't come closer, you don't want to disturb my delicate magical plans, do you?”

Although many things are happening naturally, the situation seems to clear up a bit. “I see... something... quite a few somethings, hints of voices echoing in the mist. A baby, something happening at Hill Doom, and the meeting of the Council of Snot – what could this mean?”

There follows an explosion, with the light reflecting in the eye turning red and a distant, malevolent laughter echoing through the forests. The Absolute Evil and its faithful servant, the Dark Elf Thalya, return in Dungeons 4, after the events of the previous game, to bring their victory over the forces of good.

Create a comfortable and secure Dungeon to cater to the needs of your creatures and rule over them. Send them to the Overworld to remind the good people that the Absolute Evil rules their lands. Gather your Evil in new and dynamic ways and unleash it on the greenery and meadows of the Overworld, to bring them to the dark side.

Don't forget to secure your Dungeon with traps and defend it with your creatures, as the pesky Overworlders will not sit quietly while you turn their land into a paradise of Absolute Evil.

But what is that sound? “Gold, gold, gold and precious gems, gold and precious gems and gold!” The ancient song echoes throughout the underworld, accompanied by the sounds of hammers and picks. The Dwarves have arrived to claim their share and along with the Elves and Humans of the Overworld, they send their teams to find the heart of the Dungeon.

Dungeons 4 retains the spirit of its predecessor, but everything is now bigger, better, and with even more dynamic Evil.
