Product Description
Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord, the player emerges, near death, from the ruins of the old Overlord’s Dark Tower. Only the player’s actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it’s all down to how much of a bad ass they want to be in order to succeed… evil or really evil! Played out with plenty of black humour and dark irony, the game will immerse players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters.
Features:
- Overlord’s key innovation is the introduction of an array of impish creatures – the Minions. They believe you are the old Overlord reborn and will use their unique skills to fetch, fight and die for you.
- Throughout the game players will actively control a horde of these gremlin-like critters and they’ll follow your every instruction no matter how despotic or, for the Minions, life threatening it is.

Original and fun
 Reviewed by Cameron from Auckland on August 2nd, 2008
Simple game but nevertheless quite good. Overlord does not require much concentration or a good graphics card. Its simple fun created by the ludicrousness and the originality of it. It reminded me a bit of dungeon keeper. It's the small things that make this game. Such as the bouncing sheep, the kickable minions, the awesome dialogue with good voice acting, and at times, the outright absurdity of the plot. I have not as of yet played Overlord multi-player (which includes 2p co-op) but in my opinion the single player campaign more than warrants a $25 price tag.
A fun game with a sense of humor
Reviewed by Chris from Hikurangi, NZ on July 20th, 2007
Lots of fun and some laughs too.
I suggest you download the demo and try it out. If you enjoy the demo go ahead and get the game. :) The demo got me hooked straight away.
Briefly though, eventually you control an small army of 4 different kind of minions and use them to attack the opposition along with wading into the melee with the Overlord using his assorted attacks.
