help War for the Overworld FAQ
How closely does War for the Overworld follow Dungeon Keeper?
It deliberately adopts Dungeon Keeper's central idea of building an underground lair while commanding creatures and defending against heroes. Subterranean Games presented the 2015 release as a spiritual successor rather than an official sequel to Bullfrog's series.
Do you control units directly in War for the Overworld?
Most creatures act according to their needs and the rooms you construct, much like workers and monsters in Dungeon Keeper. You influence battles with rally commands, defenses, spells, and the ability to possess a creature for direct first-person control.
What can you build inside a War for the Overworld dungeon?
Players excavate tiles and create specialized rooms for training, research, food, prisons, and other functions. The game also provides traps, defensive doors, rituals, and magical powers for protecting and expanding the dungeon.
Does War for the Overworld have content beyond its campaign?
Yes. Alongside its story campaign, the game offers skirmish and multiplayer modes, plus additional scenarios and expansions. It launched for Windows, macOS, and Linux after receiving crowdfunding through Kickstarter.
