EA breaks game.  
QUOTE
At its heart, the game is still the same as it was 17 years ago...however, numerous reviewers  have noted that the imps work at the speed of the molasses most of the time and only speed up their work if the player has gems to offer.

You'll remember the original and its sequel allowed you to slap minions to get them working faster.  Why the change?
QUOTE
Gems are available via in-app purchase, meaning that a player can speed up the digging process at any time, but only if they are willing to spend real money.

Your imps working at the frantic pace of the bastard offspring of a Japanese businessmen in the middle of a meth binge and an Amish woman participating in a marathon 72-hour barn-building competition is the difference between victory and defeat on some of the tougher maps.

But hey, if you want to tell them how you feel about that...
QUOTE
Currently, the title has a “user review” rating of 0.3 out of 10 on Metacritic, while Peter Molyneux – the creator of the original “Dungeon Keeper” – has spoken out publicly against the lengthy wait times and aggressive in-game payment options that now plague the game.

According to Pocket Gamer, EA was also accused of trying to prevent the submission of negative ratings. The app reportedly asks users to rate their experience. Users who select a score other than five out of five stars are directed to a feedback form.

EA -- it's in the game.  Except for the Vaseline.

I downloaded it just to see how bad it was. To clear out a 4X4 area plus the hall way for one of your rooms will take a little over 2 days. That is for the first room you build on your own not one of the later ones where I can see things getting longer.

Wow.  It's probably quicker to posses one and do it yourself.

From PA.  They've not yet posted the blog entry to go with the comic, but it has to be this.
