    There’s a decent game in there somewhere, but it’s hard to notice it under all those bugs and shortcomings. [06/2015, p.75]

    War for the Overworld was supposed to be the new Dungeon Keeper. They were on the right track, but the game that is available for download now is definitely not right; lots of bugs, crashes, bad AI, and many missing features make this game impossible to recommend.

    War for the Overworld is not finished, plain and simple. It feels as though more time was taken developing jokes for the narrator to sayWar for the Overworld is not finished, plain and simple. It feels as though more time was taken developing jokes for the narrator to say randomly throughout the campaign than programming a better UI. I don't care that one of my minions is French.

    The developers are active in updating the game, and I expect it to improve with time, but it is unacceptable to release a game so unfinished that you can't get through two hours of gameplay without it crashing. The minions act about as confused and scared as I was playing this game. Underneath the crashes and bugs, there is a glimpse of promise, but it is not worth my time and yours right now. I hope that War for the Overworld gets fixed, but I won't be returning to it until it does.    … Full Review »
