The moral standpoint of you or the Overlord is sometimes irrelevant and sometimes boils down to doing something you’d rather not do, but will because of the reward. Which puts a much more of an honest spin on what can be a rather tired mechanic within games these days. Due to the game’s tongue and cheek representations of good and evil you don’t feel remorse for any wrongdoings or joy for being particularly nice either, yet initially it can be very hard to decide on a particular alignment since both benefit you in different ways. The good or evil choices are one of the more surprising parts of Overlord.

Each of these spells will be upgraded and depending on your good/evil alignment will develop differently. Starting off with basic spells that range from casting balls of fire, enraging your minions, slowing your enemies or shielding yourself from harm. His magic powers on the other hand can turn the tide of any battle. Whilst the Overlord himself can also take part in the conflict, his attacks should only be considered an added bonus rather than something to rely on. Every minion can reap the spoils of battle an earn various upgrades to its weaponry and armour, not only is it a neat little touch that requires no attention whatsoever but can also be rather humorous when you see a minion walking round with a bra on it’s head. Badly managed conflicts will result in a high minion loss and a lot of frustration. Using the diversity of your minion hoard is key to moving through the game smoothly. And finally Blue minions who are utterly useless at fighting non-magic opponents but can travel through water and revive dead minions. Green minions that are resistant to poison and become invisible when standing still. Starting off only being able to control Brown minions (the brawling class) you will eventually stumble across Red minions who can put out fires and attack from range.

Not only will your minion population grow but it will also diversify. You start off only being able to control a handful of minions, but as you complete some of the game’s many missions and recover various objects for your tower your minion horde will grow in size (eventually being able to control a maximum of 50 minions at once).

The Dark Tower not only goes to serve as your home for the game’s duration, but also as the central hub where you can warp to any discovered point within the game, battle previously defeated foes in the dungeon and upgrade the Overlord in the forge. To regain absolute control over the land and rebuild your glorious Dark Tower along the way. After stretching your legs a bit and kicking the jester around in a few tutorials you’re ready to begin your mission. The game starts off with you, the new Overlord, being awoken from an eternal slumber by a handful of eternally loyal minions.

Roughly a year later and the Overlord is back, this time on PS3 and with a few extras up his sleeve. The game was fairly well received and generally considered to be one of the few gems that failed to make it into the spotlight last year.

Roughly a year ago, 360 owners were treated to a refreshing little strategy game bearing the name of Overlord, a game that can best be described as the illegitimate love child of Pikmin and Fable, bearing the strategic gameplay of the former and the tongue in cheek medieval atmosphere of the latter.
