About Evil Genius 2: World Domination

Evil Genius 2: World Domination is a satirical spy-fi lair builder and the direct sequel to the 2004 cult classic. You take control of an Evil Genius and set your plans for global conquest into motion, and the game promises that when being bad feels this good, the Forces of Justice don't stand a chance. The core loop revolves around building a unique lair and cover operation, training a workforce of criminal minions, defending your hideout, and ultimately dominating the world with a Doomsday Device.

Construction is central to the fun. Every villain needs an island lair, so you pick your paradise and stamp your own sinister style on it, shaping the internal layout to suit your play-style and filling it with wicked devices for your minions to operate. As you expand and train that workforce, you can create specialists to advance your schemes and recruit powerful Henchmen who complement how you like to play.

The Forces of Justice are relentlessly punctual, so raw defenses alone won't cut it. You'll research networks of traps, sending do-gooders spinning with a Pinball Bumper or clamping down with the Venus Spy-Trap. Combining strategy and simulation with a healthy dose of humor, Evil Genius 2 turns building the perfect villain's lair into a devious PC experience.
