Overlord reviews

great game you are the new overlord control the world with your 4 minion types (browns,reds,blues and greens). kill the 7 heros in a new fantasy land including blood thirsty unichorns & demonic halflings you can also kill the people of the village spree. fun game decent plot gos great with its expantion overlord raising hell if you like this you will love overlord 2

The concept of this game is simple, you are overlord with almost no power and you are on the way to take your revenge and retake what is yours. Combat system is a simple rock-paper-scissor style, as a supreme overlord, your job is to order your minions and control the battle. Red minion good for close combat, Green is fast but weak, Blue is healing and long range attack etc. as you may guess, Green(speed) beats Blue (long range), Blue Beats Red and Red beats Green. You can choose to be ‘Good’ Or ‘Evil’ (No neutral sorry) but from what I see the ending would depends on which princess you choose. Basically you will rescue a ‘Good’ princess and she will move in with you, however half way down the game you will have a chance to swap her with her ‘Hot’ sister (yes Hot) If you say yes then you are evil, if not then you are good guy. (no they do not share so you can't have them both…trust me…I try)

I would rate this game as Good-Excellent, the only problem I found is sometime you minions are too dumb to understand your commands and you will need to move really close to the object and tell them to pick this up and put it over there (of course it would be easier to do it yourself but that is not the overlord way is it)

When games go on sale for a few dollars you buy them! You never know what kind of gem you'll find
