Underworld Overlord will make you a VR dungeon master on Google’s Daydream

OtherSide Entertainment’s working on bringing back the feel of one of the 1990’s classic games — Ultima Underworld. And now it’s planning on an offshoot experience for Google’s Daydream virtual reality platform.

Today, the indie studio announced Underworld Overlord, a Dungeon Keeper-style game where you manage a dungeon, plotting traps and monsters, to keep a group of adventurers from plundering your underground home. It’s part-tower defense, part-god game, something we haven’t seen yet in virtual reality. And it’s OtherSide’s first VR game. The potential market for VR is $30 billion by 2020 on all platforms, advisory firm Digi-Capital forecasts, and it’s important that Google has quality software to go up against Samsung’s Gear headset and platform.
