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.

Still the closest thing to a DK sequel!
Worth playing if you're a fan of dungeon keeper!
This game wants to be Dungeon Keeper, I wanted it to be Dungeon Keeper, but the level/mission design is much worse. DK2 had a list of increasingly specific missions, aside from the main campaign - if you played those, you have an idea of what this game is.

This game is Dungeon Keeper 3 in nearly every way. If you can get this game on sale of any kind, it is 100% worth it, since even for the current price, this game is phenomenal. As a standard RTS game, this game is great for story and skirmish battles, and is genuinely enjoyable to play multiple times. Richard Riding's voice makes building things and sending minions to battle feel enjoyable, and I found myself smiling while he elaborated on what I needed to do each mission. That said, the game is Dungeon Keeper 3 in all the worst ways, too. Being a simple RTS game, it can definitely feel repetitive after a while, and if you aren't a fan of micro management, it can be tough to get the hang of. If this doesn't deter you at all, just buy it. This game is more than worth it.
小众神作 可以第一人称控制任何人物这玩法实在太赞了
Very manic and slap heavy. 100% feels like Dungeon Keeper with better graphics!
Super fun Dungeon Keeper game.
Listen, hear me out- it was an excellent call to get Richard Ridings to do his Daddy Pig thing. Big fan. Apart from that, I just can't get into it. The creatures are boring to me. The graphics are so cold and drab I fall asleep. The soundtrack does not make me wanna get up and do a !JACKPOT WINNER! dance (i can't even hum a few bars of it in my head). It's severely lacking in charm, it's tinny-sounding, and somebody mistook squinty darkness for atmosphere. Go back and LOOK at Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2 - they do not take place in an annoying pitch black void that promotes eyestrain. They had rich warm reddish/goldy colour palettes. Very easy on the eyes. Even the blues looked warm. Also- those games ran well. I'm giving this a thumbs down. If that upsets anybody, idk.. sorry? (if it makes ya feel better, the rating i'd give EA is a slap from the hand of evil)
Game seems good but the timed achievements even on the TUTORIAL STAGE are absolutely taking the piss. Who thought this was a good idea? It brings into question the judgement of everyone involved. These "achievements" simply existing distract from an otherwise good game, the positive feeling from every round ending in success is offset by the player seeing the incredibly stupid and unfun achievement requirements. If they were completely removed from the game nothing would be lost and reactions would be more positive.
Cheap, pitiful knock off of Dungeons 2.
