The nights grow dark and the days grow ever shorter as we head into the twilight months of 2019. It’s been a busy year for us at Brightrock Games, though we realise it’s been quiet on the news front for all of you, our valued fans, eagerly awaiting info on what’s next.
To that, we say that 2020 should be quite an exciting year for us all in which Brightrock takes the next step. We can’t wait to share what we’re cooking up with you!
In the meantime, we’re keeping the dungeon core of War for the Overworld beating with this month’s community spotlight, and our participation in the Steam Halloween Sale!
So without further ado let’s get cracking!
With the spookiest of days descending upon Steam, we’re pleased to announce that War for the Overworld and all its DLC will be on sale in this Halloween! From now until 1 November we’re running the following discounts:
- War for the Overworld – Base Game – 75% Off
- Underlord Edition Content – 75% Off
- Heart of Gold Expansion – 65% Off
- My Pet Dungeon Expansion – 40% Off
- The Under Games Expansion – 20% Off

Given the nature of the season, we thought we’d offer a spook-tacular discount for those looking to get into the creepy spirit of this harrowing holiday, with a full 90% off on the Seasonal Worker Skins, the maximum we can offer in a Steam Sale! You can finally grab that maimed imp the Jack O’Worker, along with all his seasonal buddies, for the paranormal price of £0.40 / $0.60 / €0.60! Head on over to Steam now to grab yours!
If you’ve ever fancied getting your hands on these 4 exclusive skins then now’s the best opportunity!
Before we jump into our selection of community-made maps for this spotlight, we’re announcing a few changes to the format!
Firstly, as WFTO continues to ramp down with the flow of community maps, and our resources available to curate them become less, we’re changing the cadence of spotlights to once every three months, or each quarter.
This means that this quarter’s spotlight will be the Autumn (Q4) spotlight covering October, November and December. In January we’ll review the maps from the last few months and choose our favourites, and then continue for the foreseeable future!
In addition, where previously we’ve tried to select maps to match a predefined format and template, we’ll instead be more variable each quarter, selecting between 5 and 10 items from the workshop to feature, regardless of their category!
That covers our changes, so let’s get on to what you’re here for: the maps!
You can download all of our spotlighted content from the Steam Collection or via our website!

Preview: The Sentinel
Welcome most loyal Underlords,
If you’re reading this then you’re hopefully joining us as a supporter of our newsletter, as this post marks the first newsletter release. Regardless of whether you are or not we have a fantastic teaser to share with you today, the first new aspect from our upcoming expansion: Heart of Gold!
Heart of Gold is the first paid expansion for WFTO and will continue the story through a series of new campaign levels. We’re not going to reveal too many details today; you’ll have to wait until the full reveal later this month for that, but you can expect the expansion to be quite weighty with new content.
And for our early adopters, we’re happy to remind you that this expansion will be free for anyone that owned WFTO before the 2nd of May 2015 (more details here).
Now let’s take a gander at one of the new Aspects being introduced in Heart of the Gold: The Sentinel!
A mystically animated suit of golden armour, the Sentinel is a mobile defence that can be utilised as a unit to bolster your armies and keep your foes at bay.
“It had been a few hours since the dwarven party left the safety of the Imperial fort, now they skulk through the darkened underground passages, the fires of their torches tracing visages of impending doom amongst the shadows. It is not long before they happen upon their quarry, the entrance to the dungeon of an Underlord renowned for their wealth and lust of gold in a way that would make the high king’s blush.
Breaching the gilded entrance of Kasita’s domain, the torchlight illuminates the shimmering walls; brilliant, golden light dances in all directions as the reflective metals mirror the light from wall to floor then wall again. The dwarves, eyes alight with avarice, press forward… deeper into the catacombs.
Alas their dreams of wealth and fortune were to be short-lived. Their ears catching the sound of clanging metal emanating from down the corridor, from the shadows the visage of a man, armoured head to toe in golden plate, stepped into view. At first such a sight was enough to set the minds of the dwarven adventurers at ease, laughing and calling out to the figure they beckoned to what must surely be a knight of the realm.
As the figure approached it quickly became clear that something was amiss, with indefatigable purpose the suit strode forward, making no attempts to identify itself or it’s intentions. Closing in on the dwarves it raised it’s glimmering sword to full height and clove a path into them, severing a bearded head from it’s owner’s body.
Reeling in horror the dwarven host descended into madness, the foolish among them opted for retaliation, their war axes barely chipping the armour. Meanwhile the dwarves with some sense were the ones that turned tail, although their path of retreat would lead them only deeper into the catacombs surely whatever fate awaited them could only be better than this?
In the end the last brave, foolish dwarf that dared to fight lay gasping in a pool of his own blood, looking up at the armour he witnessed the unspeakable; A lucky blow had alleviated the golden warrior of it’s helmet, where a head should lie there existed nothing but a swirling golden shadow of a man. The sword plunged deep into his chest and at last the embrace of death surrounded the stout warrior. The Sentinel; it’s task complete, returned to its eternal vigil pacing the hallways once more.”
The Sentinel is a new mobile defence that will be introduced at tier 8 of the neutral tree, entrenching it’s viability for both Wrath and Sloth players. Players will initially place down a Golden Carapace, the capsule in which a Sentinel is held. Once constructed the Carapace can be activated to spawn the Sentinel either manually via a click or automatically by proximity to enemy forces, when this happens the Carapace will be destroyed.
This uniquely positions the Sentinel as a shock unit/defensive guardian as, unlike its closest behavioural kin the Ember Demon, it does not continue to lock mana while active, but it does come at a great cost to your gold reserves. However, Underlords with enough gold can invest in a veritable legion of these incredible constructs.
Most terrifyingly the Sentinel can pass through the lava of the underworld without harm and can be healed through an influx of fresh gold. Although the Sentinel itself lacks finesse in combat it would be wise not to underestimate the sheer brute force that it can bring to bear.
That about covers this little teaser, be sure to keep your eyes open for more news on Heart of Gold as well as the upcoming Patch 1.3 in the coming weeks!

Until next time Underlords,
