* FanserviceAttendant: The [[Horny Devils Succubi]] fulfill this role to a tee.

* RoleReprisal: Richard Ridings is reprising his role as the narrator.

* OurMonstersAreDifferent:
** OurGhoulsAreCreepier: Once you have a crypt your necromancers can raise ghouls back from the dead. Cheap cannon fodder that rush into combat.
** OurGoblinsAreDifferent: They are called "Gnarlings" and can assist your other minions in the barracks, increasing the rate they earn experience.
** OurLichesAreDifferent: Serve as necromancers in your dungeon who can command high armies of ghouls, but show no other impressive magical abilities.
** OurSpiritsAreDifferent: Appear as floating heads who serve as invulnerable scouts and can be sacrificed in the spirit chamber to give minions experience.

* SpaceManagementGame

* TheJuggernaut: One of the heroes is called this; his aim is basically to rush towards your core and smash it with his hammer, normally very tough. Although once converted he will hang around your Garrison if you have one built. Your late level minion summons will occasionally wander over to your enemies lairs and attack of their own volition ignoring you.

** One of the ingame idle quotes is '[[RollercoasterTycoon One of your creatures wants to get off]] [[MemeticMutation Mr. Bones' Wild Ride]].'

Created by Subterranean Games, ''War for the Overworld'' is a SpiritualSuccessor to the venerable ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper'' series. It was originally funded through Website/{{Kickstarter}} and has since had a full retail release.

* RunningTheBlockade: One level sees you setting up shop right next to a mountain pass Empire troops must pass through to reinforce other regions. Once they discover you're there they'll send waves and waves of units to try to get through. Amusingly you can make sure that nobody makes it netting yourself an achivement.

* EndlessGame: You have access to your Home Realm which is this; there is an achivement for playing 10 hours in there (without any enemies appearing) which is about 9 hours longer than it'll take for you to dig it all out. There is also a Sandbox mode which is a similar set-up.

* LeeroyJenkins: There's an achivement for doing this yourself on the final mission. Instead of completing any of the optional objectives just rush over to the Emperor and kill him.

** There's an Underlord named [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Draven]]. True to type, he's also a bit of an arrogant bloodthirsty lout who immediately starts flirting with a female Underlord, who addresses him back as 'Draaaven.'

* DifficultyPike: Heart Attack. Up to this point, you could effectively take your time for the most part, at worst dealing with an occasional band of mid level dwarves, nothing your army of minions couldn't handle. Then comes this one, where you have to defend not only yourself, but another Overlord as well, from no less than 150 Heroes! And they take every possible route, so if you don't have defenses literally everywhere, prepare to be overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. And you get no breaks either, they all come one after the other, so taking some minions out to, say, convert enemies to your side is effectively a suicide attempt.

* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: As with DK you can torture captured "heroes" and convert them to your cause.

* EndlessGame: You have access to your Home Realm which is this; there is an achivement for playing 5 hours in there (at the time of writing there is no way to trigger and enemies from appearing) which is about 5 hours longer than it'll take for you to dig it all out. There is also a Sandbox mode which is a similar set-up.

** However gold is rarely an issue as most levels have at least one infinite block you can access; {{Mana}} is the real glass ceiling. Creating workers costs mana but for each one created it locks of a bit of your useable mana. Same with traps where once activated locks off more mana. If you're not careful you can end up with barely any and unable to help your minions fight.

* ShoutOut: The standard food for minions are micro-piglets, a reference to Dungeon Keeper 2 where the announcer would occasionally say "micro-piglets stalk your dungeon, beware".
