Evil Genius 2: World Domination – the Rebellion-developed sequel to Elixir Studios' cult-classic management sim – is rapidly closing in on its 30th March release date, and as part of its pre-launch promotional blitz, Rebellion has now served up ten minutes of gameplay in a new developer video.
Evil Genius 2 follows a similar formula to its much-loved 2004 predecessor, blending base building and real-time defense as players – cast as a criminal mastermind – oversee the running of their evil lair, boss around minions, thwart do-gooders, and build a doomsday device in a bid to achieve global domination.
Rebellion's sequel retains the comedic tone and appealing retro stylings of its predecessor, but introduces new villains, henchmen, agents, room types, and traps – and keen-eyed observers might spot a few of those in Rebellion's new gameplay trailer.
