GENERAL INFO 
 

TITLE: Overlord

GENRE: Action/Adventure

PLATFORM: XBOX360

DEVELOPER: Triumph Studios

US PUBLISHER: Codemasters

UK PUBLISHER: Codemasters

NORDIC PUBLISHER: Codemasters

ONLINE PLAY: Yes

   



Code:
Controlling a mysterious figure that 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 the player’s actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it’s all down to how much of a bad ass they want to be in order to succeed… evil or really evil! Played out with plenty of black humour and dark irony, the game will immerse 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 will actively control a horde of these gremlin-like critters and they’ll follow your every instruction no matter how despotic or, for the Minions, life threatening it is.

Just watching the preview vid on Xboxyde. Really, really reminds me of Dungeon Keeper.

I remember, one time, I had a dungeon full of every creature (or almost). I summoned a horned reaper (the red guy on the box) and locked him in a 3x3 room with his throne (or home). I continually beat and healed him and sprinkled some money down so he could be paid.

By the end, he was so mad and constantly pacing left and right while growling, that when I unlocked his door, he charged through my dungeon killing all my minions.

One of my favourite gaming memories, because it was so cool.

Hmmm it does look very Dungeon Keeper with similar sort of visuals I think. I dont think it is that kind of game though.

(sigh)

I would love a new Dungeon Keeper sequel.

I'm the kind of guy who chooses to be the summoner class in every MMO and every RPG, be it a hunter with a pet, a warlock with demons or a necromancer, as long as it has summons, i'm happy.

So this game, is exactly my type of game. I'm so looking forward to wrecking havok on poor innocent people. Twisted Evil

I enjoy games where you have to be evil. This will be a lot of fun. Strangely enough I still am always a nice guy in games like Baldurs Gate. But if a game forces me to be evil I really enjoy it.

If it was out for the PS3 I'm sure he'd think it was excellent. As it is he leaves shitty comments like that in almost every 360 game thread.

Check out the videos, the graphics are not outdated at all.

Ok so it's no Gears of War, but that doesn't mean it's outdated. Rolling Eyes

I played the Demo. Think the game is funny and good. Was really cool how the little minions would equip themselves with gear from the fallen enemies. Chuckled when I toasted some halflings by setting a field on fire with a fireball spell.

than again, I liked all the Dungeon Kepper games and this seems kinda similar in a way. So, it's right up my alley.
looking forward to the release.

True that, gfx were ok. I agree with someone mentioning Fable, totally had that cartoonish cosy feeling to it.

The camera on the other hand. It got to the point where i couldnt enjoy the game, when all I did was trying to fiddle with my controller to see what I wanted. I guess they had to give up having the camera on the right stick, because of the ability to stear your minions with it.

Otherwise a decent game.

You can control the camera with the right stick, you just need to hold down the left shoulder button. You can also use that shoulder button to snap the camera back into place behind your character. It's gets easy to use after a few minutes. Smile

game looks great cant wait for the retail. Smile


As for framerate, the 360 version runs smooth, while the PS3 is a jaggy mess that chugs along in slow motion.

Demo is great, and it really feels like a refreshing game on the 360. Ill be buying it for sure.

The sounds are histerical, and it was a blast watching my mineons rip apart sheep.
