Overlord 2

It's an older code sir but it checks out. One of the great classics that let's you be evil or chaotic evil.

Overlord II does what Overlords do. Make you feel like a badass. puzzles are challenging and fights are some of the most creative in the genre thanks to well though out differences in enemies. while normal enemies can be pounded with minions and if your not lazy the Overlord himself, tougher enemies are puzzles themselves and often require a combination of moves in order to deal with. Graphics are like stale bread, but worlds are rich enough with environment to forgive those flaws. Sadly the camera still sucks, but it doesn't put to much stress on the enjoyment.The story is dead on tongue and cheek with humor sprinkled about. It's starts off well enough with the Overlord beginning his conquest which at most times feels like a comedy which by the end goes a 360 turn and is dead on Serious dark fantasy. Some disappointment is that the enemies aren't quite what they were from the first game. Instead of fighting Hero after Hero that made the you feel like Sauron sniping the fellowship one by one, you're fighting the oppressive Glorious empire and Emperor Solonius which makes you feel like King William beginning a conquest of England from King Harold. It's nice that the villains certainly gives you a run for your money on the evil department, but you won't really feel like the stereotypical bad guy from the first game.I might add that I absolutely love the minions.

I was a huge fan of the first Overlord. It wasn't the most amazing game in any single sense, but it was FUN! Overlord 2 tries to "improve" on many aspects of the first game. Your minions can have mounts, your evil tower is much bigger, you have more powers as an Overlord, etc. (They're in the game description).Of all of these, the only one that I actually liked was the mounts. The larger tower is mostly just tedious to walk around. It's separated into different areas, and the areas all have a long (unskippable) transition animation of flying rocks. It's epic and cool the first time, but after that it's just more waiting...The powers are alright; though the gimmick where you control one of your minions isn't. You can only do it at specific points in the game (i.e. there is a static object that you come across). And you never have a choice about using it, you simply have to.The tutorial is also very non-obvious at points. If you happen to miss the instruction of what to do, you will spend a long time trying to figure out what you have to do to move on...Finally, and most unforgivably, they made the minions harder to control. For the gameplay element that is the whole point of the game, this simply atrocious. I probably could have ignored everything else, but this broke the game for me.Don't buy this game if you like the original Overlord, it will just make you sad.

I played this about a year ago so the details are hazy, but overall the game was not impressive. I remember being bored while playing it - quite a bit of it was repetitive and I was often unclear on exactly what to do. I recall it also being quite glitchy.They incorporated new mechanics that could have added to the game, such as being able to control boats etc, but ultimately just became tedious.I will give it a plus for incorporating minion mounts. Your minions are able to mount various creatures depending on their color and subsequently add abilities.

I'm still playing this game and it is even better than the first. There's more to do and you can multiple mistresses and level up minions more. The only drawback is the weapon stats have been restricted to preset weapons instead of customizable weapons. Oh well, the new minion possession and resurrection helps. It was also delivered on time and in excellent condition. Love this game.

I just wish the Cover art was not that of the game from Movie Gallery but from the original cover art. Great Condition tho.

Exactly what I ordered. Very happy.

Came across this at a pawn shop ! NEVER HEARD OF THIS WHAT SO EVER!!!! So, i said why not and bought it. Well, i must say this is a very fun game. You basically have minions and , hey its like that game pikman, they follow you around and you can send them up ahead and control them to do what you want.
