War for the Overworld Review | High-Def

The 'Dungeon Keeper' franchise debuted in the late 90s as a mix of real-time strategy and god game. It subverted the normal RPG stereotypes by giving the player control of an evil dungeon lord who must defend his home against do-gooding heroes and adventurers. In 2009, a group of fans began work on 'War for the Overworld', originally intended to be a continuation of 'Dungeon Keeper' and even make use of the intellectual property, although the IP plan was later abandoned. In 2012, developer Subterranean Games funded a Kickstarter for the project, and now we have the first real 'Dungeon Keeper' experience in 16 years (this doesn’t include last year’s terrible mobile game bearing the same name).
