Wishbone: Indeed. I've never really looked at WFTO precisely because all the other "spiritual successors" to Dungeon Keeper clearly missed the point, so I'd kind of given up hope. That one does look very promising though.
Same here. When you're faced with a string of hopefuls, none of whom really cut it, you can become a bit blinkered and risk overlooking something promising. I did the same with this one and clearly I shouldn't have. I'm very interested to see how this one develops. But clearly they've got the core gameplay down. That was always the most important thing.
