Description

Tired of invading dungeons? It's time you built your own!

Do you feel you’re in a slump, monotonously disembowelling evil guys in endless quests for gold and a slightly better pair of boots? Are you starting to wonder if heroics really are your calling? Then welcome to the War for the Overworld!

Excavate and build your dungeon beneath the overworld, in the modern dungeon management game that’s most faithful to the genre’s original DNA. Keep your dungeons, slap your minions, and forge underground fortresses filled with all the dastardly rooms, traps and heinous minions you desire. Do it all under the mentorship of the original and best voice of evil: Richard Ridings!

Evil loves options, and within the Veins of Evil there are plenty to go around! Choose from over sixty rooms, spells, potions, rituals, defences and constructs as you progress through the game. Deploy your fiendish tools against the goodly heroes of the overworld, and teach them the price of trespass.

With six game modes to choose from you can conquer your enemies in your own unique way. Choose from Campaign, Skirmish, Scenarios, Multiplayer, Survival, and the My Pet Dungeon expansion (free 2-level demo included in the base game), and discover what it truly means to be the bad guy.

Build your own maps and campaigns with the intuitive and powerful Map Editor, complete with scripting support, then share them on the Steam Workshop to join the ranks of thousands of custom maps already created! Meddle further, and change the very rules themselves to your liking with dozens of mutators. Being evil has never been so creative!

War for the Overworld is developed by an independent team of fanatical developers, each with a true love of the dungeon management genre. We have continued to update the game since launch, with countless patches, balancing, polish, and many new features. Our community has been vital to our success, and we couldn’t have made the game what it is today without their help. We thank them sincerely.

Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2 were games that set fire to my young imagination many years ago. These games have an undeniable charisma that pulls you in and makes you want to explore their nooks and crannies. War for the

This is a fun game. I love playing Dungeon Keep 2 when it was release back in the day. EA kill Dungeon Keeper 3. We never got it. But this game feels like Dungeon Keep 2 but more modern and it has the same voice actor

fantastic time killer. with a story that's surprisingly interesting, even if you're listening with half attention. the game takes a second to learn, but its fun once you get it's a bit dated, but still gets updates.

If you love the Dungeon Keeper games, this is the worthy successor you've been looking for. It does pretty much everything Dungeon Keeper does and does it in the same style and just as well. The narrator from Dungeon

If you're into Dungeon Kepper, the Dungeons games, etc this is for you. It plays differently and gets pretty difficult but certainly worth picking up, has this neat pet dungeon mode in the base game other than the
