War for the Overworld is a singleplayer and multiplayer bird's-eye view building and RTS game in which an evil Underlord is tasked with building and managing a dungeon to conquer the overworld and crush the goodly heroes of the Empire. It is heavily inspired by the Dungeon Keeper series, featuring the series' Richard Ridings again as the main narrator of the game.[3] It was developed and self-published by Subterranean Games. The game started on November 29, 2012 as a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Subsequently, the game was Greenlit on Steam on January 15, 2013 as an Early Access title, with its full release on April 2, 2015. It makes use of the Unity engine.
On June 14th, 2017 the game got a DRM-free release on GOG.com, replacing the older DRM-Free build available through Humble.[4]
Post-launch patches introduced a map editor, added new game modes, many bug-fixes, crash-fixes, stability improvements, optimizations and enhancements. Notably, on April 12, 2022, more than 7 years after launch, patch 2.1 introduced real-time shadow support, visual tone overhaul and major performance optimizations.[5]
