Tired of Conquering Dungeons? Time to Build Your Own!

Feeling bored with monotonous villain-slaying and endless quests for gold and slightly better boots? Starting to doubt your heroic calling? Welcome to War for the Overworld!

Reviving Dungeon Management Simulators

Experience the atmosphere of classic dungeon master games like never before! Dig and design your evil lair beneath the surface world. Manage your dungeons, crush minions, and construct underground fortresses filled with perilous rooms, traps, and vile servants. Throughout your journey, you'll be guided by the iconic voice of evil: Richard Ridings!

Arm Yourself with the Arsenal of Evil

Evil must have options, and there are plenty on the path to darkness! Choose from over sixty rooms, spells, potions, rituals, defenses, and structures throughout the game. Use all your cunning tricks against worthy heroes of the overworld, ensuring they stay on their side of the line.

Master Various Game Modes

Defeat foes in any of the six available modes. Choose from campaign, battle, scenarios, multiplayer, survival mode, or the "My Pocket Dungeon" expansion (which includes 2 free levels in the base game) and experience what it’s like to embody pure evil.

Customize, Create, and Share... with Enemies

Design your own maps and campaigns using a powerful, user-friendly map editor with scripting support, then share them in the Steam Workshop, where thousands of user-created maps await! Don’t stop there—dozens of mutators let you bend any rule. Evil has never been so inventive!
