I'm sure that all of you are familiar with the little voice. You know, the little voice in your head that made you beat up that little kid in school and then feed him his underwear, the voice that inspired you to squish those cute lil kittens and make furry pancakes out of them, the voice that compelled you to kill your mother-in-law, decapitate her corpse, and use her head like a piñata. That's right, I'm talking 'bout the evil in all of us that gives us the cold ermm... non-fuzzy feeling. That my friend is what Overlord is about – pure evil.
In Triumph Studio's Overlord, your character emerges from the ruins of a long-dead evil Overlord's tower. When the Minions of the older Overlord discover you, they consider you a reincarnation of their ex-master and devote themselves to do your bidding. This is when your journey of evil begins, as you take it upon yourself to rebuild the ex-Overlord’s tower – his symbol of power – and use it as your own, to spread the love... err... I mean the evil.
Your first order of business in the game will be to restore the tower, and to do so you gain control of a good number of minions that increase as the game progresses. The battle system allows you to fight enemies yourself if you choose to, but lays emphasis mainly on minion combat. To use your minions to beat up everything from fluffy sheep to innocent villagers, all you have to do is look in the direction of the thing you wish to beat up, and left click. The more innocent you kill the more corrupt and powerful you become, but you're not that shortsighted, so you'd rather gain the confidence of these feeble minded villagers first and then used them to get to the bigger fish. If during your journey a few of your minions perish, you can replenish your supply of these little munchkins whenever you come across minion spawn wells that are scattered all over the place. Other than this, you can even sacrifice your minions to replenish your Overlord’s health whenever you reach a particular kind of altar.
Muhahaha.. Kill kittens.. Can i join in?!?
