Pros & Cons

  • subtle tweaks improve gameplay, good sense of humour, lengthy campaign, smart visuals, varied gameplay
  • targeting system is shaky, camera not always fantastic, camera and map issues, lousy camera viewpoint, poor storytelling

Overlord TM II is the sequel to the hit warped fantasy action adventure that had players being delightfully despotic. In Overlord II, a new Overlord and a more powerful army of Minions take on an entire empire in a truly epic adventure, inspired by the rise of the Roman Empire. As the Glorious Empire conquers kingdoms and destroys any sign of magic it finds, it’s time to go Minion Maximus and send in the horde. The Minions return smarter, deadlier (and funnier) and ar…

    Despite its annoying foibles, the entire Overlord II package adds up to a fun game that is hampered by some real issues (in the same way that the game's sound is, for the most part, solid). If you can get past the wonky camera and are content to micromanage your minions, as well as the targeting system, then Overlord II is an ideal way to spend some of your spare time if you want to be a little evil. After all, you'd probably get arrested if you try to club a baby seal... Read more

    Overlord II is a solid improvement on the original and great fun for newcomers and existing fans. The core gameplay hasn't changed too much, but small tweaks here and there and the introduction of mounts helps keep things fresh. It's also a far smarter game in terms of presentation, with Triumph able to bring the game world into the modern era very successfully. If you’ve always wanted to command a group of ugly creatures that can sing Ring a Ring o' Roses, Overlord II... Read more

    B eing evil is one thing, but having a whole evil army following you is a completely different experience. As fans of the series might recall, this game gives you the opportunity to control a bunch of minions to complete your objectives. The first game in the series was average at best and many gamers that experienced it complained about certain issues such as the save system, camera angles and overall controls. The developers certainly listened and to a certain extent... Read more

    Overlord 2 is certainly better than its predecessor and shows that some devs do listen to their community. This game is a must-have for any RPG/RTS fan. Read more

    The Overlord II was launched just two years after the first game. This time you will be playing a new hero many years after the events in the previous game. You will have a new domain called The Netherworld, which is just below the ground. It is considerably larger than the demon tower in the first game. The most considerable changes to the game is the ability for your minions to be able to ride mounts, the overlord will have a ship, in which he can travel the seas, and... Read more

    This game is pretty good but it has some problems first is the horrible camera o my good i hate the camera u can only look up down and slightly side to side. I only played a hour or two of the game but the story is actually really bad. I have to give it to the overlord team they can make a funny,addictive game that's just fun to play, though fix the camera\minion movement control scheme and the game would be truly awesome. I highly recommend. Read more
