Video Game Reviews of Overlord
Customer Review: Good art, but a bad game
Summary: 3 Stars
This game won an award in Britain for the best video game script of the year, and it's easy to see why. The adorably evil minions, suitably stupid peasants, allure of destruction, and twisted sense of humor cannot be called anything less than awesome. So why isn't this five stars? If it were reskinned and rescripted, it wouldn't have sold five copies. Combat is mindless, made difficult only by the sheer ineptitude of your followers and the problems that occur when trying to control them. The puzzles are hardly better, and an irritating number of them revolve around the main character being too lazy to turn a wheel and his minions being too frail to get past the creatures guarding the wheel. Even the destruction gets tiresome--I kept having to call my creatures back after I accidentally set them to smashing yet another stack of crates. Just watch a gameplay video on Youtube.
Description of Overlord
Overlord is a groundbreaking, completely original action adventure, set in a seriously warped fantasy world. 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 humor and dark irony, the game will immerse players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters.Action Games
