An excellent game with an unusual setting that allows you to take the place of a dark lord who controls an army of minions and decides the fate of the world.
Games don't often give you the opportunity to play with the dark side, so Overlord is a unique game in this regard. The game has a fascinating fairy-tale atmosphere with satire and dark humor in the style of Terry Pratchett. The game is a parody of the image of the dark overlord in popular culture. Gnarl's comments, jokes, and comic situations give this game its own unique charm.
The game has interesting and unique mechanics. In addition to controlling the overlord himself, the game focuses on controlling minions. With one wave of the hand, the army of demonic creatures rushes forward, breaking, destroying, killing, and plundering everything in its path. The control system allows you to give orders to certain minions in more detail. There are four types of minions, each of which has unique features. In addition, they can level up on their own in battles, becoming veterans and real killing machines. They can put on any broken item, weapon, or piece of armor, but this can only be seen in detail on brown minions.
In addition to hand-to-hand combat skills, the overlord himself has a set of spells that can be strengthened over time. Also, while traveling through locations, you can find improvements for the armor or weapons of the overlord, which can later be forged into your Dark Tower. Each location has its own secrets and passages that can be opened later after returning there with new minions. Almost everything that is on the locations can be broken in search of gold or other resources. Even houses can be broken into and destroyed from the inside, taking out all the goods.
Despite the humor and some frivolity, the game has an interesting plot with its deep lore. It begins with almost nothing to explain. We learn the whole plot and the history of the character as we progress through the game. But until the very end of the game, the personality of the main character is shrouded in a fog of mystery. And that's cool.
During the passage, the hero will have the opportunity to make one or another choice, which will depend on the end of the game and the overall status of the overlord. For example, you can rescue captured elves, or leave them to be eaten by giant slugs. Give food to hungry villagers, or take it for yourself, etc. Thus, in the game, there is an opportunity to be both light and dark or neutral overlord. This is also reflected in the appearance of the character. Raising Hell DLC allows you to expand the story and links the first and second parts of the game.
This is a unique and awesome game that allows you to feel like a truly powerful Overlord.
