War for the Overworld

war for the overworld game page

War for the Overworld is a spiritual successor to the classic Bullfrog game Dungeon Keeper. You take on the role of a fantasy evil Overlord who must create a dungeon that can defeat the forces of good and help you conquer the land. It sounds easy enough, but it certainly isn't!

To start, your minions are dumb. Really dumb. Thankfully, you can command them to a degree and even possess one to control it yourself. Players must build specialized rooms to accommodate the needs of their creatures in War for the Overworld; specialized creatures may even require their own unique rooms.

Your minions won't just work for free, though! Make sure you keep mining gold so you can pay them every day or they might just walk off the job.
