Reds can also absorb environmental fires and in turn allow you to explore otherwise inaccessible areas. Setting up flanking manoeuvres with your browns as you keep enemies at bay with your reds can be a great tactic. Red minions aren't very useful at melee range and instead rely on ranged damage with fire spells. Brown minions-the most common-are pure brawlers. You have four different-coloured units at your disposal in Overlord. Along the way you'll battle halflings, unicorns, and a generally inhospitable environment filled with challenges waiting to be overcome by selecting the appropriate minion unit for the job. You'll also accumulate gold and life-force energy-the game's minion-creation currency. To regain your former glory, you'll need to take control of a group of acquiescent gremlin-like minions as you roam the countryside helping or hindering the locals. After waking up and finding your tower and your reputation as the overlord in shambles, you set about rebuilding your empire. While the original game's premium downloadable content has been rolled into the single-player campaign and a couple of minor new features, such as an in-game minimap, have been included, Overlord for the PS3 is a frustrating experience with dated visuals and awkward controls.įor anyone who missed Overlord in its original incarnation, it's a third-person action adventure game with a liberal sprinkling of puzzle-solving set against a fantasy backdrop. The question is, have the flaws that shipped the first time around been addressed in the meantime? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Almost 12 months and a downloadable content pack later, the game has finally arrived on the PlayStation 3. Overlord and its mischievous minions fought their way onto the Xbox 360 in mid 2007.
