[[folder:Dungeons 3]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Even worse than the previous game. Sometimes even Thalya joins in on the fun
* {{Expy}}: Some characters and places are clearly based on other fantasy media, especially blizzard games. Examples include: Twistram, Yaina Overproud and such
* {{Talking to Themself}}: Thalya has a good and evil side, and they constantly talk to each other and the narrator.

* SplitPersonality: Thalya has a good and evil side, and they constantly talk to each other and the narrator.

''Videogame/Dungeons3'' was released on October of 2017, building on the gameplay of the second one. This time, it features the Prime Evil of the previous game conquering a new land with the help of a brainwashed Dark Elf named Thalya.

* LemonyNarrator: The narrator seems to be the same one from ''VideoGame/TheStanleyParable''. Here, however, since itÂ’s harder for characters to go against how the story goes, heÂ’s more contempt to make [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]].

* NoCureForEvil: Okay, all three factions are evil, but the Undead are the only ones who cannot heal their wounded, at all. Some of their monsters can restore their hit points (via lifesteal, eating corpses, or self-revival), but mostly they have to rely on reviving any slain monster (for free) form the Graveyard.

** The most notable and numerous are [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] to VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}, Series/GameOfThrones, Literature/TheLordOfTheRings and more. Played for laughs with a random quote from the Narrator, where he reads an obscure quote and fails to recognize it.

* EldritchAbomination: Guardians. Funnily enough, they're just a type of high-level mook. The Fire Angel may count too.

* EvilIsVisceral: Guardians: when seen up close, they look like a bunch of floating intestines and organs with very long limbs and dangling heads wrapped in black cloaks.

* MacGuffinGuardian: The Heart's Keepers are these. In the Catacombs, you have the [[FrankensteinsMonster Undead Butcher]], the [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Colossus]] in the Temple and the [[WhipItGood Fiery Angel]] in Hell.

** TheUndead: Not only skeletons but also [[TheDreaded Guardians]] and the Undead Butcher in Catacombs.

* TakeThat: During the Demon campaign, the narrator calls [[VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} Archimonde]] a loser when you chop down the Elves' Tree of Life. The Expansion may have one directed at GameOfThrones, where your first opponents, the "Nightwatch", are easily dispatched by your level 1 Undead forces (essentially a whole fortified army falls to a mass of basic zombies, skeletons, ghost girls and pink flying furballs).

!!'''Videogame/{{Dungeons 2}} contains examples of:'''

** The Horde also has to produce and store barrels of Beer, needed to keep its monsters happy.

* BooksEnd: Including the expansion, the first scenario of the campaign has you, controlling the Prime Evil outside of his Dungeon as he bears down on King's Ending, inflicting a CurbStombBattle on the Alliance. The very final scenario of "A Game of Winter" has you controlling once again the Prime Evil, reincarnated in Barthas, and marching on New King's Ending to settle things once and for all.

* FireAndBrimstoneHell: What conquered sections of the overworld tend to look like.

* RaisingTheSteaks: Parodied with [[spoiler: Undead Penguins]] in the stinger of the expansion.

* SequelSnark: Upon ending the expansion, the narrator says "See you again in Part 3! Wait a minute, I wasn't supposed to say that..."

* ATasteOfPower: The first map has you controlling The Ultimate Evil, who can single-handedly butcher anything that gets in his way.

* {{BFS}}: Your Avatar wields a giant sword.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The usual for the minimap. Heroes are mostly colored in blue, Horde is green, Demons are purple.
* CurbStompBattle: The first mission starts with you seemingly giving one to the Alliance.

* DirtyCoward: Your Snotlings/Minions will run in fear from invading heroes.

* EvilOverlord: You.
* EvilVersusEvil: In the campaign, you eventually face off against the Demons (controlled by what seems to be your other half) and the undead (not playable). The underground is also home to some hostile creatures such as spiders.

* HornyDevils: some of the Demons, naturally

* TortureAlwaysWorks: How the Demons relieve boredom.

Compared to ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper'' it's much more simplified and focuses more on heroes than your own creatures and takes elements from ThemePark and TowerDefense systems.

In April of 2015, the sequel, ''Dungeons 2'', was released, changing the core gameplay to something much more similiar to ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper'', albeit with a secondary map of the overworld, which functions more like an RTS game. The forces of evil have also been split into three distinct factions, the Horde (playable for much of the campaign), the Demons (enemies, later playable) and the Undead (enemies, playable only in skirmish/multiplayer and only with DLC).

* AntiHero: Basically all the heroes that enter your dungeon will be looking for gold, fame, books and / or weapons and leave once satisfied. They'll only try to destroy you if they're bored or rallied by a champion.

* ATasteOfPower: The first map.

* {{BFS}}: Your Avatar

* CrapsackWorld: More explicitly than before. As you conquer parts of the overworld, the terrain gets converted into more fitting terrain.

* DirtyCoward: Your Snotlings or Minions will run in fear from invading heroes.

* LostForever: Your Gold, if a hero manages to escape alive after pillaging your vaults. Luckily you can get money from other adventurers.

* LostForever: Free creatures you can find in secret rooms, which don't cost population like the rest.

* SetSwordsToStun: Sort of, your creatures never die outright from any damage, giving you some time to save them by moving them to a hospital or altar of adoration or have them revived if they get downed on the overworld and you have the respective structures ready.

* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: Three resources: Gold (from mining) is used for buying pretty much everything and paying your creatures. Mana (from mana crystals) is used to research and cast spells as well as upgrading your population cap. Evilness (from doing evil things, usually killing unicorns and fairies) is only needed to upgrade your throne room.
** In addition, toolboxes or spider eggs are produced in the respective rooms for each faction and used for room research, upgrades, traps and doors. The Horde also produces beer which their creatures consume.

* {{Fireball}}: One of the many spells you can learn or cast from scrolls.

* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: The Silliness won yet again. They brought on the narrator from ''TheStanleyParable'' to do pretty much the same thing again.

* BackFromTheDead: If your Dark Lord is killed, he'll be resurrected by the Dungeon's Heart at the cost of some of the Heart's Health. This applies to your enemies aswell in the story mode.
