The game centers around controlling the Overlord and an army of goblin-like minions simultaneously to traverse the 3D gameworld and defeat the 7 heroes who slew the Overlord's predecessor, who have since then become mad with power, each representing one of the seven deadly sins.

There are four minion races, each represented by a colour and have different abilities. Browns are melee fighters, blues can revive defeated minions and swim, reds throw fireballs at enemies, can put out fires and are immune to fire attacks, and greens backstab enemies and can clear poisonous gas and plants. Minions are summoned from the spawning pits found scattered throughout the game. The player needs to pay life-force, which can be gained by killing creatures, like sheep or large bugs, to summon minions. At the start of the game only five minions can be summoned at once; as the game progresses this increases to a maximum of fifty. In addition to controlling minions, the player can sacrifice them at altars of blood and magic to restore the Overlord's health or mana. Once a forge is acquired, they can be used to imbue weapons and armour to increase the Overlord's abilities

My favorite part is still the first map where you slaughter sheep while the happy music is playing in the background.

I just came around to this game.

IT IS AWESOME!
Been playing the whole week now, and just arrived in the desert. I was rocking until I came across the dune-like sand snakes who ate all my highly experienced and well equipped minions AT ONCE! gnahhh

Still awesome lot of fun. I like the action and adventure elements.


I AM THE OVERLORD!

Played through twice on 100% (including horde armor) for both ends of the evil alignments (it's all evil). Couldn't find any servers, though.

Fortunately, you can reequip easily in that same zone with chest-spamming.

Yeah, most of the levels have plenty of weapons and armor for the minions, but not enough spawn points. I had to run all the way back and ragequitted. But I´m eager to play that again today

For cheap thrills (with a good computer) download the Overlord trainer and boost your horde limit to a better number. Like something over 9000.

If you're going to cheat, cheat epic. Summon goblins until your PC crashes. Besides which, once you've beaten the game, what else is there to do? RUB IT IN!

True, after finishing I´m not really tempted to play again. I was so Überleet at the end, but starting all over with only browns? nah, not right now.

But what happens if oyu reach 100% corruption. I jsut came to something around 60, cause in the beginning I thought villagers wouldn´t respawn, lol.

If you havn´t played it by now, go get it. It´s really awesome. Gameplay, mechanics, graphics, all are very nice and the humor is just outstanding. Long time since I had such a good laugh in a game.

Plus, it´s one of the rare titles you get the chance to be evil. Real evil!

Watched my flatmate play it for about 4 hours straight a few weeks back.

It looks like nothing more than a poor Pikmin knockoff to be honest, with none of the charm or originality.

Spoiler (highlight to read):

The game that Overlord stole every single one of its gameplay mechanics off. Here's an example of the gameplay. It's one of the most loved games on the Gamecube.

Well, I´m just glad they dropped all the unbearable gayness and cutie-cuddly minions.

The trailer for the second looks cool.
Looks like the same old hack and slash, guide your minions through every little crack in the game, and use your mana for a few powerful but petty-looking spells until you come across more-thing going on though.

I don´t doubt that. It´s just too puffy and cuddly to be my cup of coffee.

Vil: Not that I can find in a 5 second search. Hit up cheathappens for a trainer and you can play around with the mechanics yourself.

Yeah, that's it. I got the endings down, couldn't find many good servers, and my PC was capable of rendering more minions.

Besides which, where do you get off telling someone what to do with a game, especially after they've finished it normally?
