This game is one of the few modern games which was able to take a genre that's been squeezed dry and make it fun.
In my case I nicknamed my hero/supervillain Mouldybottom. Now Mouldybottom had his ass handed to him by a group of adventures which all follow gaming stereotypes (the unlikely halfling, the elf god-wizard, the self-righteous paladin, the blood-mongering barbarian and the greedy *sshole thief). So Mouldybottom has come back to his old tower to find it broken to pieces and all his sh*t got looted and minions are nowhere to be found. HYou have to find all the heroes now (in their 10 years after state) and kill them while retrieving your crap and building up your empire again).
The game function like a really basic action RPG but with the addition of these retarded, alcoholic goblin-monkeys called minions, who you control with a rather bad and slightly unintuitive system. Those of you who like real strategy probably won't like this game (or maybe you just need to figure it out and I'm f*cking retarded).
Anyway, you bring Mouldybottom around the fantasy stereotypes and can either go back to being a complete *sshole or be kinda nice to everyone so they leave you alone. But you're a villain so chances are you want to be a complete dick.
I feel like the controls are definitely meant for a PC though, so altogether the game suffers from console disorder and so doesn't live up to its true innovative potential. But on the other hand its not a completely unoriginal game and makes good fun of fantasy stereotypes (like Fable) and is a fun and different experience.
