![]() Combat is unsatisfying, there's really annoying levels at the start of the game, and the boss fights are annoying because of how bad the combat is. Overlord in general needs a lot of polish, as previously mentioned. You could also be a murderous maniac, if that's your thing. There's multiple routes, too, which allows you to end up with a pretty happy ending. The finale's good enough that I'd recommend not spoiling it, but it's not like the game will be ruined if you know what it is or anything. There's a lot of hints dropped throughout the game about its finale, leading up to a story heavy ending. The story is also an enjoyable romp, even if the game seems light on it. Combine that with the fact these areas are fairly annoying to beign with, and you have a negative stretch close to the start of an otherwise good game. There's a point (fairly early on in the game) where you're going to need to get through the first couple segments of both areas available to you at the time to get the minion types needed to clear both, and it isn't obvious at first. You'll often want to revisit previous areas after gaining new minion types to look around for totems, as some of them are the only way to boost your health, mana, and maximum minion count.Īctual level design is fine. There's plenty of totems throughout the world, and finding them is pretty satisfying. ![]() You can unlock different spells (and different ranks of spells) by finding different totems throughout the world. There are some neat details, though, like fire magic burning fields. Magic combat is a bit more fun to use, but quickly drains mana at higher ranks. Melee combat has laughably poor animations, and just feels awful. Later on he's able to do alright in combat on his own, but that doesn't make combat as the Overlord very fun. The Overlord himself initially needs these minions in combat for survival, with strategic minion usage in the early hours of the game being the difference between life and death. Browns are brutes, greens are assassins, reds are fire mages which act like archers, and blues are mages that can revive your dead troops. They have their own classes, and each class is separated by their color. These little guys serve a range of different purposes, ranging from basic cannon fodder to being needed for progression in certain areas. ![]() You're the titular overlord, and you have an army of minions at your disposal. ![]() The gameplay is pretty good, for the most part, but it definitely needs some refinements here and there. It has gameplay elements of the first, the charm of (and clear inspiration from) the second, and you take on the role of the third. Overlord is essentially the result of Pikmin, the original Fable, and Sauron being thrown into a blender. It needs a lot of polish (or ketchup, you know) for you to say that it's amazing, but you still really end up liking it. Sometimes a game's like a hamburger with weird "secret sauce" you get from a small burger joint.
