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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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
Very fun game and true successor to Dungeon Keeper. No its not exactly the same but it has the same feel and vibe. Anybody who enjoyed Dungeon Keeper or would just like to be the bad guy should pick this up.
Its Good, Real Good.
Design and dig out your own dungeon, attract nefarious creatures to serve you and fight against others in this RTS. If you want to relive the glory of dungeon keeper this does that to some extent and takes it a little further. It would be nice is there was more flexibility in population so you won't reach limits of each type of creature. That would allow for deeper strategy to have a huge horde of weak hand-to-hand fighters, for instance. But overall it's fun and the multiplayer works well.

If you are a fan of DK 1 and 2 then you will like this game, the developers clearly wanted to carry on the series so bad the game is just as unstable as a game originally designed for windows 95... Despite being out for a few years now it still regularly crashes and loses my save games. Gameplay = great Stability = terrible
This takes me back! loving it!
ダンジョンマスターが気に入っていたなら、このゲームを間違い無く気にいると思います。
easy pickup and play
if you have kids, peppa pig will never be the same ever again.
great game
As a fan of DK and DK2 looking for more like it, I certainly enjoyed it. Despite having a strong rig however, I still suffered from consistent stuttering issues which were greatly unpleasant to say the least. I got used to it after a while, but yeah... Overall I had fun though, both the main campaign as well as the Heart of Gold was very engaging and the other modes were at least okay filler.
