About War for the Overworld

War for the Overworld flips the usual fantasy script: instead of raiding dungeons for gold and better boots, you carve one out beneath the surface and rule it as the villain. This indie strategy and simulation title positions itself as a faithful modern take on classic dungeon management, letting you excavate corridors, build out a subterranean fortress, and populate it with sinister rooms, deadly traps, and a roster of monstrous minions that occasionally need a good slap to keep in line. Guiding your descent into wickedness is Richard Ridings, the original voice of evil returning to narrate your misdeeds.

Progression opens up the Veins of Evil, a sprawling tech path of more than sixty rooms, spells, potions, rituals, defenses, and constructs to unleash against the meddling heroes who dare trespass. Six distinct modes give PC players plenty of ways to play the antagonist, spanning Campaign, Skirmish, Scenarios, Multiplayer, Survival, and the My Pet Dungeon expansion, which includes a free two-level demo in the base game. On top of that, tools for customizing, creating, and sharing content extend the experience well beyond the campaign, making this a strategy game built around embracing your inner overlord.
