Alright, having played the so many games were you take the path of good or evil, and I was ready pleased that this one, Overlord, was Evil only. While you can in a sense, do good deeds, I doubt that many of you will stay on that path. Only considering you'll meet people you just want to run into a wall. You play as an evil Overlord, hence the name, and you control hordes of these little minions that are ready fun. Arming them with the greatest amour and weapons you can find is rather fun, and some of the things the minions pull is a laugh. I had a few wearing pumpkins for helmets and waving around zombie arms for their weapons. The most annoying thing though is having your minions die. Yes, it'll happen, but when you want them to go here and they go charging into water and drown. Or just after you get them all armored up and pretty and then make the simple mistake and having half of them die right off and losing all that work. *Sigh* But its still an enjoyable game. Fixing up your tower is fun, and finding a, mistress if you call her that is also interesting. Though amusingly, I tried to hit her with my sword and she slapped me sending me flying to the ground. So makes me wonder, how come this evil Overlord, who just killed all these bosses, is smacked down to the ground with one hit from his *Wife*. Maybe she should be in charge...lol. We'll call in Overlord 2, The Mistresss...or something along those lines. Its a good game, but for those who played Fable, after you did it all, you did it all.
