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.

原汁原味的快乐,让我找回了第一次玩DK1时的自己。我怎么可能不去推荐这么一款好游戏呢? 即使名字变了,这款游戏也是DK的正统续作,是那个创造了游戏行业历史绚丽篇章一页的伟大作品的延续。
Dungeon keeper 2.0 , with the original voice actor too !

Don't buy this game if you plan on playing with your friends. Game doesnt connect to the host because you have to edit your ports to be allowed to play together. I have never been in a situation like this before where a game demands you to change your internet ports in windows to be able to play it. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid is what i have to say about this!

Dungeon Keeper is back. Better, more beautiful, more evil. What EA didn't do is well done here. It's nice to be evil. If you liked Dungeon Keeper, clear purchase recommendation.
Хорошая попытка, но нет. Это не Хранитель Подземелий. Не смотря на то, что первые 2-3 уровня очень похожи и играются интересно — с 4 уровня начинается зерграш врагов-гномов и вместо вдумчивого построения логова мы занимаемся суетливым кликингом, выцеливая отдельных гномов молнией, судорожная вставляя стены и ловушки в новые и новые бреши в стенах, и метаясь по карте за замораживающими зельями, да параллельно пытаясь возвести полезные постройки. Мрачности и основательности Хранителя тут тоже нет — лично по-мне, очень цветасто всё и суетливо.
This is a modern version of a old goldie called Dungeon Keeper. I dont kow how many hours I spent in DK2 but this game is going to cause the same lose of time. Definitely worth spending some hours playing through the campaign and then enjoying the pet dungeon mode.
A classic from the early 00s loved this game back then. Now with lots of updates and modifications the old Dungeon Keeper you remember is back. Still playing this in 2026.. Has lots of levels as well as new content added. Recommended !
