Overlord is just plain fun. It is genuinely comical, and the minions really have character. The art style matches the premise of the game really well. The graphics will suprise you as the game progresses, in a good way. The gameplay consists of pretty much wreaking havoc every chance you get. And you are rewarded in a variety of ways. Gold, weapons for your minions, magic and lifeforce potions are the norm. While in your castle you can customize your tower, forge weapons, and arena fight. Though these features aren't particularly deep, they still add to the overall experience. Puzzles aren't overly difficult, and usually require your minions. There are 4 types of minions, each with different abilities. Having the right minion type along with the right amount is key to solving most puzzles. Boss fights are pretty unique as well as the bosses themselves. The only shortcoming Overlord really has is that later in the game, precisely commanding your minions can be tough. But this shouldn't keep anyone from thoroughly enjoying Overlord.
