Molyneux says Dungeon Keeper revamp is "ridiculous"

Famed UK developer Peter Molyneux has added his voice to the list of those criticising EA’s Dungeon Keeper smartphone remake.

"I felt myself turning round saying, ‘What? This is ridiculous. I just want to make a dungeon. I don’t want to schedule it on my alarm clock for six days to come back for a block to be chipped,’" he told the BBC.

"I don’t think they got it quite right, the balance between keeping it familiar to the fans that were out there but fresh enough and understandable enough for this much bigger mobile audience."

The game has found itself the subject of several critical headlines this last week, forcing EA Mythic to come out in defence of the title.

It was revealed late last week that the game employs a filtering technique that attempts to prevent sub-5 star user ratings.
