The World Is JUST Enough!

Evil Genius 2 is a satirical spy-fi lair builder, where players take control of an Evil Genius and set their plans for world domination in motion. When it feels this good to be bad, the Forces of Justice don’t stand a chance!

Build your own unique evil lair and cover operation, Train a force of criminal minions, Defendyour Lair from the Forces of Justice, and Dominate the world with a Doomsday Device in this direct sequel to the 2004 cult classic!

Cruel Constructions!
Every villain needs an island lair, so pick your paradise and put your own sinister stamp on it! Shape the internal structure of your hazardous hideaway to fit your play-style, and construct wonderfully wicked devices for your minions to put to use.

Atrocious Anti-Heroes!
Competence isn’t going to cut it when you’re running an evil operation. As you expand and train your minion workforce, you can create new specialists to help further your evil plans! Need something a little more…intimidating? Recruit powerful Henchmen that complement your play style; every mastermind needs a right hand…or several, in fact!

Dastardly Devices!
The Forces of Justice are annoyingly punctual, so supplement your brute force by researching and developing a series of trap networks! Send those do-gooders spinning with a Pinball Bumper, or put the chomp on them with the Venus Spy-Trap. While one trap is good, more is…evil-er. Combo your traps to banish intruders for good!

Nefarious Plots!
Carry out evil schemes to further your plot to build a Doomsday Device and dominate the world! Sell the British Royal Family, Kidnap the Governor of Maine, and literally BAKE ALASKA. With hundreds of potential objectives, variety is the spice of strife.

I always liked the concept of Evil Genius, but didn't entirely care for the implementation.

You mainly interact by building rooms, with lots of waiting involved. You gain money by waiting. But don't rush a long with the main missions because then you are flooded with enemy agents that start killing your minions.

All the while, you gain money and objects by sending minions out into the world and waiting.

But wait! An enemy agent has showed up on the global map, and will kill your minions. Do we alert the player in any way that this will happen?
Naaaaaaaaaah.
Let's just vaguely flash the globe icon AFTER the minions have been killed. That's great game design!


... This came out a lot more negative than I thought it would! 😀

That's how reaction to the game was in general from what I remember. It didn't live up to the premise. Hopefully a decade and a half has given Rebellion some insight

Feast your eyes on this world-first gameplay footage of playable genius Red Ivan, as voiced by Brian Blessed. Not only can you see Red Ivan’s literally iron fist and destructive rocket launcher in action, but also never-before-seen traps, minions, henchmen, rooms, contraptions, and more!


Evil Genius 2 will release on Steam on March 30th 2021

Downloading it now. Very pleased for controller support. Looks good enough from early vids.

Not sure which villain to pick. probably Brian Blessed
