Game Overview

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.

The pure joy of commanding a small army of malicious minions more than makes up for Overlord's minor shortcomings.

Overlord is a fun and original title that takes some great elements across a spectrum of genres and applies them very well together.

Overlord is a "play at your own risk" title. If you're lucky enough to avoid the bugs, you'll find a fun game unlike any other on Xbox 360. If you do run head first into a game ending bug, don't say we didn't warn you.

Overlord - a twist on the normal RPG/strategy game

Maybe a better lengthy rental than purchase - there's little to no replay value to be had here,...

RENT, DON'T BUY!

Rent this game, don't buy, it gets very repetitive and boring.
