Intuitive control over a crowd of evil minded minion creatures.With incredible power at your disposal and a team of evil minded minions to do your evil bidding, how will you resist the temptation to be incredibly despotic? THINK EVIL, BREED EVIL, CONTROL ALL! Control a horde of Minions The game primarily consists of you controlling the new Overlord in his quest to establish his evil dominion across the land.Prepare to be tempted, mesmerized and thrilled, become the Overlord, how corrupt you become depends on how you handle any given situation. Despite being all powerful, the only three things the Overlord can actually do are move, attack and control his minions. The minions are your primary tool throughout the game and are used in everything from combat to solving puzzles. While playing the game you collect two main resources life-force and gold. Gold is used to buy new weapons and upgrades for your evil tower. While life-force is used to spawn minions for you to control. There are four different types of life-force in the game, with their respective colors corresponding to the minion of the same color. Each color life-force is stored separately in its own pool, so you can only spawn as many minions of a certain color as you have life-force for it. At the beginning of the game the Overlord is quite weak and can suffer large amounts of damage quickly if attacked by a large number of enemies, so minions are essential to success.Ĭontrol of the minions is dealt with three different inputs. You can manually control the movement of the horde by the right analog stick. By locking on to something you can tell the minions to attack it by pressing the right trigger. Holding down the B button recalls all of your minions back to yourself. As you progress through the game you will find more upgrades for your castle. These upgrades allow the player access to a dungeon where you can fight any creature you or your minions have killed, a bedroom for your mistress where you can buy aesthetic upgrades for your tower, and a forge.
#OVERLORD RAISING HELL FORGE UPGRADE#
The forge system in the game uses your minions to upgrade your equipment. Sacrificing minions will enchant your equipment with new power. Overlord also has online multi-player consisting of three main game modes: slaughter, pillage and survival. In slaughter you fight against an opposing Overlord in a race to score as many points as possible by killing as many monsters as possible within a time limit. This play-style also can include killing the opposing Overlord and his minions. In pillage, players compete in a race against time to collect a target amount of gold before your opponent does. In survival, two players team up to fight of waves of enemies of ever-increasing difficulty for as long as possible. The game ends as soon as one player dies. The expansion to Overlord entitled Rising Hell added a new multi-player mode called Protect Your Power.

This mode plays similar to survival except you must make sure that the enemies do not destroy the object posing as your so-called power.
#OVERLORD RAISING HELL FORGE FREE#
The minions free the Overlord from his coffin and have tasked him with rebuilding his tower and taking out the seven corrupt "heroes" who destroyed the tower and killed his predecessor. All of the seven heroes have fallen to one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Gnarl, your mentor, gives suggestions to the Overlord throughout the game. The minions also obey every command from the Overlord and are happy to die for him or collect gold for him.

The Overlord first discovers the town of Spree, whose castle is being attacked by an unknown force. At this point the Overlord defeats the first hero Melvin Underbelly, who forces the citizens of Spree to make food for him. Upon freeing the town of Spree under Melvin's control, it is put in the hands of the Overlord. Upon assaulting the castle, you learn that "the force" attacking the castle was harnessing magical forces and using a creature called the Overseer, similar to the ones in Dungeons and Dragons to enter the castle. In the castle you encounter Rose, a maiden of the Kingdom, who tells you about a plague that is killing the people of Heaven's Peak. Rose also becomes your mistress and takes up residence in your tower. The Overlord then ventures into the Elven Forest and discovers the fate of the Elves. No live Elves remain in the forest, only ghosts.
