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.

Reviews
Spiritual successor to dungeon keeper. Upgrading rooms by actually making them bigger so it can fit more stuff, which influences all your planning for other rooms and dungeon defense, works really well
A great game that hired the original narrator "Richard Ridings" to play the voice over in War for the Overworld, this game is full of humour and some great levels, be warned though that this is a game inspired by Dungeon Keeper so dont expect it to be a pushover, the levels get increasingly harder as you progress and your expected to adapt to that, that being said... If you do this, your in for one hell of a ride with the comedy.

ABSOLUTE POOP!
This is no dugeon keeper succesor - unless you really enjoy dudgeon keeper 2.Events dont feel important in game and the game plays its self most of the time, also everything on the interface is very small.
Good game, great devs
Nice and easy and very reminecent of the old Dungeon Keeper. Super nostalgic and always a breath of fresh air.
Very gut
If you liked the old Dungeon Keeper game then you'll love this! The old-school vibe of Dungeon Keeper II but with updated graphics, mechanics and gameplay. Definitely worth it.
A Dungeon Keeper clone with controls, UI & colour palette beyond stupid. You're better with Dungeon Keeper 2, it's 10x cheaper, and is the exact same game. These guys were unable to make any progress in 20+ years. It's a shame.
Effektiv Dungeon Keeper in neuer und komplett underrated und viel zu unbekannt. Für mich ist das der einzig wahre spiritual Successor von dem großartigen original sogar mit original Sprecher.
