Pick it up it is worth it.. Dear Devs,Please stop using FOMO to make us play the game on your schedule. Now I have to install the game and log on or miss out on content. Why do I have to put up with this for a single player game?. Love it, was so happy to have this game. really brought back all the good times in dungeon keepers games. always kept playing dungeon keeper 2. now there is this, and I am happy.. Greetings Everyone, still getting back on track with my reviews but today I\u2019ll be looking into War for the Overworld, a dungeon builder strategy game. I\u2019ve been a fan of dungeon building games since I was a child going all the way back to the original Dungeon Keeper so don\u2019t claim (and never do) a lack of bias but does War for the Overworld create an enjoyable experience? Let\u2019s find out. Please note, this game has a lot of expansions and add-ons but I am only covering the core game itself, if I ever get any of the expansions I will cover them individually.Dungeon Keeper 2.5: This game immediately comes off of a classic game re-imagined with modern mechanics and quality of life improvements. The graphics themselves are nothing exceptional (even during release) but hold up well, the same can be said about the story telling and audio. The game doesn\u2019t try to be overly funny (a common thing found in the dungeon builder genre) or serious, maintaining a typical story I didn\u2019t find myself caring about much but provided a bit to at least have a reason to be where I was doing what I was. This overall old-school design both makes me nostalgic but also reminds me why some of the techniques, graphics and overall design were abandoned.I learned it from you: This game is truly a spiritual successor to the original Dungeon Keeper games, it really doesn\u2019t innovate much beyond that or provide any new mechanics beyond that. Don\u2019t get me wrong, the gameplay is still solid and enjoyable. This is not a slight but simply an observation, in many ways it feels like a sequel instead of a completely different game. This is both a great thing and a bit of an issue. If you are fond of the genre you\u2019ll grab this because you love it and enjoy the game but it doesn\u2019t break the mold, but more bring the series into the modern age of gaming. I felt games like Evil Genius and Dungeons 2 (the first one I didn\u2019t care much for) did a much better job at innovating but again I haven\u2019t played the DLC as of yet.Better than the mobile: There are some problems with this game however, the UI seems to be in need of updating, feeling like a computer game from the 90s at times and occasionally the game will lock up for 5-10 seconds at a time for no apparent reason. The game also locked up on me a few times within the hours played and seems to lose some frames on larger maps. I also didn\u2019t care for the overly pixilated mini-map design, especially during early levels as it just looked gaudy and difficult to use. At later levels due to limit of colors it can be difficult to identify things on your map and as a RTS player this disappointed me greatly. Another area I am not overly fond of are the timed levels, for me dungeon building games have always been a game of strategy, not tactics and have a much slower pace than their core RTS cousins. This left me with levels where I was pushing to beat as soon as possible without exploring the map and utilizing the new components introduced in the game. This is reflected in the bonus objectives too, I\u2019d rather have interesting bonus objectives like beat the level without cultists than just a timed objective. Finally, the game could use a bit of update on the minion selection window, using the portraits is a good thing but when looking at a large dungeon it is hard to select the minion type you want as so much data is over the portrait that you can\u2019t see what it is without going back to previous menus to verify.Overall, I feel this game is the closest dungeon builder you are going to get to the classic \u201cDungeon Keeper\u201d series, for better and worse. There is a lot to love and bit to dislike but overall it is a good game and worth the purchase if you are fond of the Dungeon Builder Genre (Please Evil Genius 2). As mentioned above there is a lot of DLC as well so this isn\u2019t a one and done style game. Highly recommend, Enjoy!. A true successor of Dungeon Keeper 2
