    War for the Overworld fixes some minor problems of the original Dungeon Keeper games, but does not innovate further when it comes to dungeon building. [March 2016]

    War for the Overworld is the answer to all the nostalgics of Dungeon Keeper.

    War For The Overworld is a fixer-upper, and I wish I could lavish it with more praise, but the blemishes it’s launching with are undeniable and numerous. That said, it’s also a damn fine game with a ton of heart, one that’s done more for the good name of Dungeon Keeper than any official source has in years.

    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 »
