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.

That game you play when you are desperate for a Dungeon Keeper fix. [spoiler]Kinda a shame this is a niche genre, wouldn't mind seeing 2-3 more "clones" come out a year as opposed to yet another vanilla survival game.[/spoiler]
As a long time fan of the Dungeon Keeper series who played it extensively back in the day I can say this is indeed quite the spiritual successor. Feels like playing DK II for the most part with certain updates to mechanics. The face that the original narrator was reengaged for this games says it all when it comes to a true love of the original franchise by the developers.

Incredibly buggy on Apple computers (mine is Apple M1 Pro, 2021). The top bar is cut off in game, and there are no known fixes. Some theorize it is due to the game not recognizing the notch at the top of the computer, so the game thinks is is using the correct resolution to fit the whole game in the screen. You can minimize the window not to go full screen, but then the controls get glitchy. The controls in general are poorly done - if I hover over buttons, instead of explaining what the button does, the game returns info on the graphics below the button, which is usually dirt. Yes, I know it's dirt. ... super helpful. /s

Nice remake of Dungen keeper
Imagine if a resonant voice from the past suddenly spoke up, extolling the virtues of Evil...
Might just be the worst, most unintuitive UI I've ever experienced in a game. No way to pause the game to view units. No way to select multiple units at once, other than clicking them individually. No way to tell what needs units are missing, unless you hover over them with your mouse, and try to read while keeping your pointer over them as they walk.
這大概是目前市面上最能繼承地城守護者精神和玩法的作品,連旁白的配音都找了同一位來配,由於本作沒有暫停鍵和加固後就無法挖穿的牆,所以比起主體關卡敵人喜歡挖牆騷擾的進攻方式,DLC的黃金之心和寵物地下城玩起來時間更加充裕,適合步調慢想好好規劃地城的人遊玩,在我看來比地城守護者2更像是牛蛙出品的續作,就是關卡少了點,敵我雙方單位的外型設計也沒有太大的特色(除了寵物地下城),結局也滿混的,除此之外玩起來還是不錯的。
Wow, this is simply great, enjoyed every single minute of this game. If you are a fan of DK2, this must be your first pick.
if you loved the original dungeon keeper games this game will bring you back.
