    Some games on my Steam favorites list: Cataclysm, Dwarf Fortress, Hollow Knight, Salt and Sanctuary, the Long Dark, Portal 1/2 + Reloaded + Mel, Prey, Zomboid, Rimworld, War for the Overworld. Once or twice a year I feel like playing a game, and then am done with game for months afterwards.

    Every 6 months or so I get an itch to play video game, and then play a few minutes and am good for another half year. Haven't touched that Dungeoncore game, War for the Overworld, in months. Zomboid either. Might try spinning em up soon.

    I played more War for the Overworld, the first 2 chapters in the campaign which are tutorials. So far: very fun, charming, farting and gibbering minions and a taunting voiceover. The $5 game comes with a bunch of DLC campaigns and modes and such. Scratches my dungeoncore itch

    10. Dungeon Keeper 2 I could play this game forever. It's a dungeon builder strategy game that is just pitch perfect and I wish there were more of. I played Overlord and War For the Overworld but they just don't scratch that itch as well as Dungeon Keeper 2 does.

    Dungeon Keeper 2 - 1999 I loved taking care of "evil" creatures, building perfect dungeons and getting rid of "good" heroes. No other game felt like this one ever again, even the War for the Overworld (though it was a close one). This one also had really well done Polish translation.

    Did you liked playing Dungeon Keeper? You might be interested in War for the Overworld then. The game is inspired by Bulffrog production, adding new spells, chambers, units and many more. It was fun to play again as dungeon master en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_for... #DungeonKeeper @wftogame.com

    You might be talking about War for the Overworld, that game actually has the same VA for the narrator as Dungeon Keeper's.

    War for the Overworld This was a really fun time. I only beat the base game campaign, but even then this was a lot of fun. I didn't really think dungeon-builder RTS games would be my thing, but this was on sale for like, $6. I am definitely going to check out the Dungeon Keeper games after this.

    Absolute legend of a game. War for the Overworld is decent but lacks that MUSIC. So good.

    Helldivers 2: I can solo up to hard, sometimes. Rarely extreme. I almost beat a few Suicide Missions but then the tanks and strider. Hideous Destructor: I know how the game works and I can apply real life tactics sometimes. Dungeon Keeper 2: Intense struggling War For The Overworld: Okay at campaign

    War for the Overworld (Successor to Dungeon Keeper 1&2) A dungeon management game where your the BBEG! We're still shocked to find ppl who haven't played this one, esp if your a fan of Rts games! It's a must play! There even is a ttrpg based off this called 'Wicked Ones!'

    In terms of gameplay, the game is still pretty unique, matter of fact actually there's just one game that tried to do something similar afaik? (War for the Overworld) You have the tycoon aspect of it, but then combat actually has quite a lot of depth, specially if you account for possesing monsters

    Before #BaldursGate3, the last game I pre-ordered was #FallOutNewVegas. The last game I Early Accessed was #WarForTheOverworld (a fantastic #DungeonKeeper spiritual successor). I can't remember the last game I paid full price for (unless you include DLCs). I typically wait for the first really good sale, sometimes not purchasing acclaimed games for two years or more after release. I didn't buy #TheWitcher3 until the bundle with all the DLC was under $20. I do not regret buying Baldur's Gate 3…
