In 'Overlord', players have the option to be a regular run-of-the-mill Overlord, however, with incredible power at their disposal and a team of evil-minded impish critters called the Minions on hand to do everyone's bidding, how will anyone resist the temptation to be wonderfully despotic?!
The Overlord has the power of concentrated badness right from the start and players will learn how much more of a total bad-ass they're becoming by monitoring their 'Level of Corruption,' which is tracked throughout the game.
The Level of Corruption is based on how gamers handle any given situation, their actions and how their consequences impact the game world. For example, if players and their minion horde dispose of a bunch of particularly nasty, violent Halflings that have overrun a once-peaceful village, the village's original peasant occupants will herald them as their liberator. Now, each time players pass through, the peasants will welcome them as their new lord and protector, cheering their arrival and bring offerings.
However, as an Overlord, it's worth seeing what more can be obtained from the peasants' gratitude. If players exert some proper feudal repression, peasants will tremble and fall to their knees when Overlords are in town. If players truly become mean Overlords, the poor peasants will resort to cowering in their presence, pray for their lives and even push their daughters towards them in order to appease them...
Then there are the Minions – the perfectly trained and loyal slaves. With bravery that borders on stupidity, they'll do anything players command no matter how life threatening it is. Yes, they may moan, whine and grumble about it if being sent to a certain death but, hey, why should players care? They're Overlords!
Key Features
- 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
