| Very well. First of all, I'm assuming you read the basic info on wikipedia. I wouldn't look at Overlord like it's an RPG. It definitely doesn't fit well in any of the major genres. It's more like a tactical puzzle game. The gameplay mostly consist of sending groups of minions to perform various tasks like killing your enemies, putting out fires, looting, pillaging, etc. You can run in yourself swing an axe, throw some fireballs, things like that, but in general you're not the one doing the fighting.
There's a story and though it's certainly amusing, the game isn't focused on it too much. It's more about the funny characters and silly remarks.
