  • Evil Genius is a fantastic management simulator where you play an evil genius whose job is to become a villain of legend by amassing infinite money and infinite minions to send off on dangerous missions to make yourself more notorious! Today The Spiffing brit is visiting this 16 year old classic game to see if Evil Genius is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits as I am sure you all remember it! Or if the invincibility glitch and infinite money exploit thanks to the Minion Only Challenge is broken! I guess its up to all of you to find out!!! One thing is for certain is that the spiffing brit is bound to exploit the game to remove all the challenge normal players might face in this fantastically funny Austin power and James bond themed experience!
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
    So sit back relax and enjoy this Evil Genius Minion only challenge!

    I usually turn that outside hut into a disguised cell for the super agents, so when they escape they don't tear up your base. Another trick was making a labyrinth of doors and hallways to keep the agents blowing all their time trying to open locked doors, while just going around in circles.

      That trick gets better than that, actually - to the point of being a Proper exploit. You can get money for agents triggering traps, meaning you:
      1. Construct a wind blender where one windblowing trap blows an agent into another, and another, and another in a circle/square, but the wind makes them fall through other traps which are there to be triggered just to generate money
      2. Lure agents in there
      3. Get some MAD cash with no heat generation whatsoever

So the very top few had a ton of wealth, and could do anything they wanted unchecked. So it's nice in theory. But in practice it doesn't work. Because people aren't the angelic saviours they would like to be. As for the feudalists, well... I think the disproportion of wealth,power etc. is quite obvious there.

    Ah the nostalgia! I can't wait for evil genius 2. "i recommend am-pu-ta-tion!" "oh, grandma"
    Also Shen Yu is great because he can lower the invasion rate, i think, and his bodyguard is great.

    Used to love playing this when i was younger. Would always run home after school then go to my brothers room hop on and boot up either evil genius or jedi academy. The good old days where it was all simple. Lots of nostalgic vibes from this. I bless you spiff for this fine quality video

    This reminded me of playing Syndicate Wars on PS1 and using the "persuadertron" to make civilians into minions.
    You could amass a small army and just steamroll anything in your way.
    I remember having so many minions with lasers (and other visible beam weapons) that whenever I fired it overloaded the system and caused bits of the scene to briefly vanish, as well as making whatever I fired at permanently vanish.
    It was over the top glorious fun :)

    The old game called the Lord's of chaos has a few exploits where you carry impossible weights by filling up an empty vial with a potion when you have maxed out your weight limit. You can also throw locked treasure chests and filled couldrons across the entire map. That means your front line troops have explosive vials and healing as well as invisibllaty couldrons they can drink straight from. Good turn based game where you are fighting other people. Summoning a heap of creatures to fight for you is fun.
