    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

    • Improved gameplay, Strong points from first game remain, Comedy, Simple controls for extensive possibilities
    • Camera not always fantastic, Multiplayer not really worked out

    Overlord II, like its predecessor, does not disappoint. Read more
