  • Summary: Controlling a mysterious figure who 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 your actions determine if you will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it's all down to how much of a fiend you want to be in order to succeed...evil or really evil! With plenty of black humor and dark irony, the game immerses players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters. 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 actively control a horde of these gremlin-like critters, and they follow your every instruction no matter how despotic or, for the minions, life-threatening it is. Expand

  1. Overlord: Raising Hell is the first and only expansion to Overlord but is it worth the $10 (Steam Price) you're paying for it? Multiplayer has been added which didn't get me psyched at all as that didn't fit my gameplay style (Select all and send them to attack the closest moving thing) but the story mode add-ins was the main bit. After you defeat a boss a new Abyss becomes available. I've only done the first 2 but so far they are turning out to be very fun and enjoyable to play! The humor, like in the default Overlord, is still present and makes the game as good as it'll get without making the game to humorous! I definitely recommend this game if you have $10 you're confused about spending! Expand
