There are two ways to control the minion horde. The controls in Overlord are fickle, and the camera can be highly annoying as it swings and twirls in all the wrong places. This is where the game starts failing on the PS3. The majority of time, the player utilizes the minions most with the puzzle activities of the game, which almost always consists of clearing debris or carrying an item back to the tower teleport.
In the process he has to battle gluttonous halflings, elves, dwarves, and a few surprises. At this point, the game becomes a rebuilding effort to return the Overlord to what he once was that takes him across the fantasy world. Besides dicing up the Overlord, the heroes also trashed his tower. It’s no matter, though, because the minions restore him to his previous glory and hand over the reigns to the player. Apparently, the Overlord was given some grief by a few heroes and subsequently killed for his actions. The game begins with an opening cut-scene that explains the history of the character aptly named the Overlord. That’s not say that I was still not confused when confronted with saving a village as opposed to burning it down.
Beyond the humor, the game’s take on heroics, honor, and shadow is worth anyone’s time. The ever-eager minions give tons of good laughs through both their guttural, but comedic speech, and their tendency to utilize mundane objects such as pumpkins for armor. However, my doubts about the quality of evil content were often pushed aside by the strong satirical commentary the game provides.
