Underworld Overseer

also hab bis jetzt ein paar lvl gespielt muss leider sagen die idee das ganze in vr zu starten ist eigentlich cool ABER es bringt leider bis jetzt keinen vorteil es auch in vr zu spielen die mechaniken sind nicht wirklich angepasst und sehe auch sonst keinen vorteil den es hätte in vr zu spielen man stört sich an der steuerung eher als dass man sich darüber freut und es genießen kann

Usually I wait until I have finished the game before I write a review. But this is so good, I do it straight away. It's Dungeon Keeper in VR and it works great. On normal difficulty you can expect about 10 hours of playtime.

Bought this game and now streaming it. Twitch channel - lukasfeinberg. Really cool, like almost Dungeon Keeper in VR. Author did a great job.

I've played a few of the 'I wish I were Dungeon Keeper' games in my time. All of them fell short, because Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2 were just fantastic. Dungeons 1/2/3, War for the Overworlld, a handful of others so unremarkable I can't even remember their names, they all had something wrong with them. Some, like Dungeons, were more of a theme park style of game wearing a DK disguise. Underworld Overseer, weirdly, comes closest out of all of them. It's a VR game, so it has to have simplified systems, but it's close enough to hit a lot of the right notes. The library and research, the summoning of "Horny" the Horned Reaper, training rooms to level up your creatures, specialized units that are attracted to specific rooms, lairs for sleep and a hatchery for food.. I mean mandrake roots for food, because reasons. Casting spells, collecting gold, graveyards for -vampires- skeletons... A lot of the pieces are there, looking slightly different. But it's simplified. Where in DK your creatures had ten levels and gained more abilities as they levelled up, in UO they level up once... and don't get noticeably much better. You can't train up your wizards I mean cultists so they research faster, they'll do their thing and eventually take one or two desultory swings at a training dummy if they feel like it. You can't train up your imps so they learn to teleport or cast haste on themselves, instead they just run into the incoming enemies, pick a fight, and lose instantly, only to be replaced by new imps until you have a minimum of five. You can build traps! But if a Thief hero is locked on to a trap, it won't activate. In fact, traps utterly ignore thieves, so a single thief can just invalidate every single trap you have... and when they disable a trap, an imp will run over to reactivate it and get killed immediately, which will call another imp, and there goes all your imps. Again. The only luck I've had with traps is to funnel Heroes into long straight paths and hope my crossbow traps shot through the Thief to get at their friends so the traps weren't completely useless. Being a VR game with a flat playing area also gave me incredible neck pain from having to constantly look down at what was happening. I'm pretty sure I gave myself permanent cervical vertebra damage... but I've been pretty sick so that could be unrelated. Despite all that, it's the best DK-like game I've seen in years. It definitely scratches that itch the right way, it does its (simplified) stuff very well, and maybe best of all, when I asked for advice on how to beat a near-impossible level, one of the devs playtested it, realized that some of the changes they had made had made the level unbeatable, and they quickly patched it to be beatable. You don't get that kind of response often, and I really appreciate it. When you beat the game you have an option to replay the levels at a higher difficulty, but that's not really my thing. The game could do with more gold, or lower salaries, or more infinite money sources, because I liked taking my time in DK2 and often cast the Create Gold spell to last longer, something UO doesn't have. It would also be nice to have a "skirmish" mode with generated levels, but the game is a very nicely curated each-level-as-a-puzzle sort of game, so if that's what you're looking for, I have some great news! Overall? A positive experience, with some flaws, but definitely worth padding our your VR library with.

It's what you think it is, very well done. Throwing your minions where they need to be is super fun!

Over a quarter of a century ago, one of my favorite games was released: Dungeon Keeper 2. I have played that game through numerous times and still love it. Since then, there have been a number of games released that attempted to accomplish the same idea, but none have come close. Underworld Overseer isn't as good, but it has done much better than any other similar product. I have enjoyed the variety in the levels, and the game play overall. They have made good use of VR, and it is one of the best VR games I have played (of course, nothing comes close to Half-life: Alyx). The levels vary in difficulty. I nearly gave up a couple of times, but thank goodness of the Internet ( I did have to check twice.) Overall, I really enjoyed playing this. And I do recommend it.

Let me start this by stating I have played the entire main campaign so far but on the meta quest version. I bought it when it was on sale for 5 bucks and it was more than worth it for that price. The game isn't as in depth as Dungeon Keeper. There aren't as many monsters, rooms, or traps but I still had fun. In my 7+ hours of playing I only encountered 2 bugs. The first one being an immortal enemy that my units ignored and my spells did too. The second being the second to last level having so many enemies that the game began to become unresponsive. These bugs may or may not be in the pc version of the game as well. Overall it was worth the 5 bucks!
