Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Aug 22 → 0.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
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.

It's a really good dungeon game. Fun and interesting, it's still chill.
Топ игра - прошел всю и все длс, с кайфом - прямо дух Dungeon Keeper, сказал бы даже долгожданное продолжение. Жаль что больше ДЛС нет или новую часть не делают, уже 10 лет как прошло. Многие даже не знали что у ДК по сути есть преемник в виде этой игры. Надеюсь разрабы сделают продолжение еще, все таки ДК3 хотели перенести наружу, вдруг по их наработкам сделают продолжение и все таки выведут то что хотели сделать в 3 части )).

Love the Dungeon Keeper Genre. Great game!
几乎完全模仿牛蛙公司的地下城守护者,但是设定上不够完善。比如侦察类的怪物不听指挥训练,一门心思去满地图跑,一直不断的被打死。 房间的墙壁辅助很鸡肋,后期完全是DK1那种全挖平那种,对于房间拜访设计差强人意。 魔法技能方面,威力太低,完全是鸡肋。陷阱也是,过于强调近战和远程的区别,缺乏实际用处。 总的来说,对于DK老玩家,是个稍显粗糙的仿制。 对于新玩家,可玩性着实一般。
This is what Dungeon Keeper 3 ought to have been, its been said a thousand times over by a thousand other reviewers but this is the spiritual successor. I own most of the dlc with the exceptions being the charity imp and the charity dungeon and i've unlocked every last achievement - this is a game you owe it to yourself to play, and if you haven't, why haven't you? It's outstanding! The only thing this game is missing is Horny himself but for obvious reasons that can't be a thing.
I loved it! Build your dungeon and send your minions to battle! If you've played Dungeon Keeper, you'll love it even more. It's pretty much the same game, but upped to modern standards. Props to the the scriptors and voice actors. I laughted out loud so many times during the campaign.
Can't rebind "possession mode" controls.
I adore Richard Ridings, he is the perfect Dungeon Keeper and I have been a fan of the series for years, encouraged GOG to get it, it is a true favorite of mine. This is DK3, and truly fun for a revamp!
Couldn't get into it, too many things are too convoluted, and the interface is not always easy to read. Main complains: trying to form war bands, cannot understand how many units I put into them, not sure if there is a way of adding them from the interface or I just need to find them one by one. Rally points > sending troops to fight, no idea what is happening or how to follow the action Map. Map is angled/rotated by default, not sure if there is a way of rotating it to match my perspective, but as default it's unusable. Unit coloring on the map is impossible to read, no idea what I'm looking at, a simple red vs green would have been a lot easier to read. End of the day decided to uninstall it, as it's not fun at all.
Dungeon Keeper's descendant, I love this game and that is an understatement. If i had to choose one game to keep forever it would be this one. Thank you devs for continuing this absolute gem. To anyone reading this, you should try it, if it makes you feel even a little bit like it makes me feel, then youll agree that its totally worth it.
