Today marks the official launch of Subterranean Games’ War for the Overworld, which finally claws its way out of Early Access on Steam. In fact the release build is available now for those who already own it.
The dungeon management / God game, inspired by Bullfrog’s classic Dungeon Keeper, is ready to terrorise a whole new generation of do-gooder heroes.
Life began as a Kickstarter campaign for War for the Overworld, and it successfully plundered gamer wallets in early January 2013. We take the role of an Underlord (not a Keeper!), where we build our sprawling dungeon lair full of creatures in our service, and let’s not forget the traps and fortifications.
”We’re thrilled to finally release our vision of the ultimate modern dungeon strategy title to the world,” said Josh Bishop, Subterranean Games. “It’s been a long journey, but throughout we’ve had the amazing support of a dedicated community – not least those that banded together to help raise a whopping £210,000 on Kickstarter last year. I’m confident that we’re bringing everyone the awesome game that they deserve.”
”“It’s clear that a huge amount of care and attention has gone into this awesome title, a sinful union of the best the strategy and god game genres have to offer, loaded with extra charm and innovation,” said James Cato, Sales Director at Sold Out. “We’ve been very happy working with the good people of Subterranean Games to bring the Underlord Edition to fruition, which is the most awesome way to raise the armies of hell and become the true ruler of the Overworld.”
War for the Overworld takes its name from the subtitle of the sadly defunct Dungeon Keeper 3, and actually started in 2009 as a fan project. It went on to take a full life of its own and secured over £210k from Kickstarter backers, and now it’s digging in deep on PC desktops.
Check out War for the Overworld on Steam, which is 10% off until April 10th.
