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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 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.

The spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper is how I'd describe War for the Overworld. No other game comes close to recreating it's overall feel.
Buy it on GOG, not Steam, support game preservation. This is by far the best Dungeon Keeper successor. While it's hard to say if its better than the originals, it makes a lot of really nice improvements, like imp forbidding zones, wall rebuilding, trap building process, a tech tree instead of a sequence of spell unlocks, and lots more. I played the Dungeons series and while I enjoyed them, they were not Dungeon Keeper successors. This is absolutely what I would've wanted from Dungeon Keeper 3. The minions are mostly pretty cool, the rooms are interesting, the game looks phenomenal, the overall tone is dark and moody but has the right amount if humor. I have a very large part of my heart dedicated to Dungeon Keeper and this game makes me confident that the designers truly understood what was special about the series. If you're a fan of either Dungeon Keeper 1 or 2, you owe it to yourself and former Bullfrog employees to give this game a shot. I promise you'll have a good time. Also they got Richard Ridings to do the mentor voice again, which is just lovely. I only wish he could call me keeper instead of underlord.

Worth playing if you're a fan of dungeon keeper!
Dungeon keeper который мы так и не дождались. И разработчики до сих пор отвечают на отзывы и поддерживают игру!
If you love the Dungeon Keeper games, this is the worthy successor you've been looking for. It does pretty much everything Dungeon Keeper does and does it in the same style and just as well. The narrator from Dungeon Keeper is also in this, and, importantly, the humour is just right. Not too in your face, like the Dungeons games (which I actually wouldn't recommend). War for the Overworld is what would happen If Dungeon Keeper had given us the sequel we all deserved instead of imploding into Live Service nonsense. If you like the Dungeon Keeper games, this is a must buy 10 out 10 "Your Minions are revolting"
Game of my childhood... Tx dad
首先,这个游戏忠实的致敬了地下城守护者。这点就值得好评。 但模仿终究是模仿,我两款游戏都再重温一遍觉得差距还是很大,重点体现在细节上。 而且明显是后来者,竟然在美术设计上远远不及前者,这点我是不满意的,黑色幽默也非常肤浅,说真的那些台词水平太次了,我真的懒得听。 关卡设计那差距就更大了,地下城守护者我一直玩到通关都很有兴致,但本作我玩到一半就玩不下去了,而遭遇战模式ai及其弱智只靠粗暴的加成碾压你扛过一波就赢了,打到后期ai也不会加强攻势只会送极其无聊。 而且很多模式下不知为何就考验你的多闲能力,但这种操作模式下,其实多线上很烦人的一件事,真的是把宝压在短板上的感觉。 总之问题还是很多,甚至说如果没有地下城守护者在前的话,本作估计连及格都难说,好评真的单纯是为了情怀了。
Still getting updates in 2026.
I was lucky to get this on a recent sale. This is an amazing homage to Dungeon Keeper. I am having a blast with it!
Still the closest thing to a DK sequel!
