You are, of course, the Overlord, brought back to life by your faithful (and I do mean faithful!) minions. Pros: Overlord for the XBox 360 is not only entertaining, but manages to be funny and humorous without being gross or too naughty. ![]() Read full reviewĪnticipating the game because it very much looked like Fable, one of my favorite XBox games. Overlord gets four sacked villages out of five. Really great game I would recommend to pretty much anyone who doesn't faint when the word evil is thrown around. The controls in the multi player aspect of the game do seem a tidbit sluggish compared to the single player, but after you get over the initial shock from the difference it is quite fun. On the whole the "evil" in the game is rather toned down from what i would consider truly nefarious, and is really more heroic than some of the stuff you would see various anti-heroes in other games doing. The game isn't terribly difficult or punishing so pretty much any gamer could pick this one up and enjoy it. there is a lot of looting, pillaging, some wench abducting, and various other evil overlord activities to be had. In this game you play as an evil overlord, who commands a group of gremlin-like minions to do his bidding. I am not quite sure why there are so many bland reviews about it floating around on the internet, but they are really quite unjustified given the quality of some the games that get "rave" reviews. This game is much better than you have heard. Overall this is a GREAT game and is definitly worth buying if you don't want to spend your money on "The Darkness." Read full review I have read about several glitches th at make you have to restart the game but I haven't encountered any yet so I wont use those against its score the way they have over at IGN. When I first played this game it seemed like a mix between Pikmin, Lord of The Rings(the overlord/Sauron), and Conker (the humor.) The game takes between 15-20 Hours for the average gamer to beat the campaign but unlike most RPG's this game has online play which actually is surprisingly quite good. The unique blend of RTS style of commanding your minions mixed with an RPG story line and questing is great. When you aren't lost though this game rocks. The only part of this game that makes it take so long is that there is no map and you always are lost. Two hors into overlord and I knew this was the case. ![]() When I first ought this game I was nervous because I thought it might be too short after spending $30 on Stubbs the Zombie for only a few hours of fun. Online support via Xbox Live is also included for both cooperative and competitive play. ![]() As players gain more control of the land, they can improve their alter ego's base of operations: the Dark Tower, home to loyal minions, captured prisoners, and even an alluring mistress to relieve some of the stress that inevitably comes with conquering the world. The imp-like minions possess one of four roles (warrior, mage, assassin, and healer), each offering distinct strengths to help would-be overlords accomplish their goals. The overall objective is to defeat the kingdom's seven rival rulers, all while growing in power and stature by learning spells, forging new weapons, and acquiring different items. Players bent on obliterating towns instead of liberating them, for example, will witness groveling villagers instead of cheering ones. How they go about their baneful business is largely up to you, as part of the attraction in Overlord is how your actions influence and shape the tongue-in-cheek world around you. Overlord is a fantasy action title viewed from a third-person perspective behind your Sauron-inspired character, who is imbued with the dark power to command up to 50 mischievous minions to do his bidding. In the sardonic spirit of Dungeon Keeper comes Overlord, where being "bad" is not only blindly accepted, it's gleefully encouraged.
