War for the Overworld

An RTS game worth your time! It has the charm and content to stand the test of time. Just like the original Dungeon Keeper games, it is an RTSs at the core. It doesn't try to reinvent the niche genre, but doing more of it. I think there is a balance issue, but it does not bring the quality down. The price is kinda hard to justify now with the OG Dungeon Keeper (Playing with the KeeperFX mod) on steam, so I recommend waiting for a sale to pick it up. The campaigns, challenges & skirmishes are all fully functional. The addition of the Steam Workshop paired with a powerful in-game Map Editor is a huge thing. Paint any map you want, change some options and have fun playing! Or make countless scripts that interact with eachother, give objectives and create big events and accidently creating your very own Campaign! Half of my hours where creating my own campaign... then stopping & deleting it because of feature creep but I don't regret it one bit! I had so much fun testing/playing my own levels. War for the Overworld is what Dungeon Keeper 2 should've been and that is why I recommend getting this game if you think the price is right!

Красиво. Диктор старый. А по игре что? По Киперу Данжену? А по нему у нас куча ненужного: много иследования, много существ, ловушек. Так много всего, что душно. Для онлайн боёв может и зайдёт, а вот кампанию катать и поиграть для расслабона - нет. Если вы любите игру Dungeon Keeper 2, то смело проходите мимо War for the Overworld.

классная Игруха !!!!!!!!!! НАпомнило мне детство Игру Хранителя подземелья настальгия

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) A decent attempt at a modern Dungeon Keeper. Despite having completed the original Dungeon Keeper more times than I can remember, I still don’t understand how recruiting or unit stats work here even after finishing the campaign. Instead, I relied on how broken converting enemy units and magic are to progress, which shouldn’t be acceptable in a title that has seen this many updates. The game is fun, but it doesn’t improve upon the gameplay of the original. Worth at a discount.

If your a dungeon keeper, you know.

In a world of games that take themselves too seriously, I count myself fortunate that this one doesn't. War for the Overworld is a fun, very enjoyable romp through an exciting and challenging fantasy setting, where oftentimes building the dungeon can be just as satisfying as actually playing the missions. Narrated beautifully, visually still strong even after nearly a decade, with mostly fun goals to work towards and an interesting, but ultimately fairly bare-bones story - WFTO is something I really enjoyed playing, though as with anything, it did have it's share of poor moments. The game can still be a little buggy, even after all this time. Reloading saves that are over an hour long has a tendency to not load properly, sometimes textures dissapear and you stare into the void (though only ususally on a single tile face), crashing in some of the campaign levels (Heart of Gold most notably) isn't uncommon, and unit overlays can sometimes fail to render, or properly highlight. These aren't deal-breakers for me, but they do take things down a notch in my esteem, and can be a nuisance WFTO is a game that will take some getting used to if you've never played a dungeon management game Ala Dungeon Keeper before. It's not afraid to be challenging, and the AI most certainly knows how to play the game - likely better than you ever will, and even if you did know better, it can do actions simultaneously that a player simply couldn't. It's the first time in a long time where I've played a game that had a difficulty born not of an artificial means, such as inflating stats or giving free resources, but an AI that actually just plays the game better and better. You can learn the game by watching the AI at work, and you can see a lot of how the game's nuance is expressed through that same medium too. It's brutal at it's highest level, but it's always (almost) fair. The game nails it's vibe perfectly as well - it's cartoonishly evil, grandiose, over the top, scenery chewing fun. The narration for it all is perfect, and the voice lines from your minions help a great deal too. You really feel like you're in the setting the game tries to put you in, and my only complaint is that the story is a little thin on the ground. I would've loved some more lore and story to really get stuck into, but, that wasn't the focus here. I will say, though, the hands-off, no micro style of play can be extroadinarily frustrating when it comes to the AI just... not doing what you're wanting them to do. Workers especially can often not decide to do things, because a worker that you own is already trying to do it - even if it's across the map, and thus you can't get another one to do it instead, even if you plop it right on top of what you want done. Territory battles, where workers can just yeet themselves into the enemy fortifications, or completely ignore encroaching workers, is a frustrating sort of micro-management that I really didn't enjoy wrestling with. The cowardice of your workers is only a neutral because it's *all* workers, meaning that same cowardice can be leveraged to essentially create a repelling field. It's been a long time since I had this much fun having my ass kicked, or since I've stayed up so late not because I wanted to get it done, but because I wanted to keep playing it to get to the end - a disdinction that might be hard to understand at first glance. I'm often playing games to their end regardless of whether or not I particually like them, but in this case, the game would suck me in every time I've played. It's fun, challenging, entertaining, complex, and most of all - it's got this wonderful charm to it. While it's issues keep it from being one of my all-time favorites, it's very clearly up there with the best of them. If you don't mind losing, and you want to switch things up and be evil for a change, commence your War for the Overworld - and delight in the carnage and chaos you will inevitably sow.

KeeperFX and Dungeon keeper 2 for good art & chilling. This for better gameplay n QoL akin to Starcraft 2's changes over its og. Beast spam is fun Mentor has a lot of heart.
