Who's getting excited for this game? Do you think it will be too much like Fable?Features
Overlord™ is a groundbreaking action adventure, set in a seriously warped fantasy world. Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord, you emerge, near death, from the ruins of the old Overlord's Dark Tower.
Only your actions will determine if you will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord—it’s all down to how much of a badass you want to be in order to succeed … evil or really evil!
Played out with plenty of black humour and dark irony, get ready for twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters. Take your quest for glory online and face other Overlords and their Minions in all-or-nothing battles.
- Control hordes of minions: Use the intuitive controls to direct a crowd of evil-minded minion creatures. Use Minions to smash, destroy, kill, steal, and intimidate.
- Become the Overlord: Forge loot from the battlefield into powerful weapons and armor. Gain Overlord powers such as the ability to make enemies burst into flames and cower down before you. Conquer the world and impose your will on its people.
- Explore a twisted world: The unique story combines evil bidding with impish humor. Defeat the seven fallen heroes to rule over all the world.
- Battle online: In multiplayer, fight with other Overlords online, both in battle mode and co-op.
- Expand your game: Look for upcoming extras in the form of downloadable content from Marketplace.
