The game and what it might have been. Great hopes, but little to receive. Small maps, very very bad AI, bad control.

User Rating: 6 | Overlord PC

The game is interesting, the minions are 150% of what makes the game interesting. The problem? There is no map, the control is stupid and well the minion's AI, that is non existent. The problem is that the minion's control is somewhat... innexistent. Either they can't make a better control or well none bothered to make it. Small maps, closed spaces, little places to explore or to visit. The whole game has like 10 square kilometers in which we can explore 2. I hope that Overlord 2 can be something diffrent. The misions are interesting but not sure what's the appeal. The castle is somewhat... even stranger as we can't see any minion doing something. Like constructing or just moving resources. Empty game, empty map and empty palace. The humor that the developers want to get in the game is helped but the minion's attitude :) They are funny to have, to help and support. Even with the non existent AI or pathfinding. The worse part comes to the end and it's called: control. The control is beyond bad, it's something that the game lacks the most.
