CVG has put together
a short preview of the Playstation 3 version of Codemasters and Triumph Studios' strategy/action RPG hybrid, Overlord: Raising Hell.
It's a unique hybrid unlike anything you will have played before, as you're forced to solve puzzles on the fly while waving your axe at gnomes, trolls and other creatures blocking your path.
You could be escorting enough minions to clear a blockade in your path, another sees you splitting them up so they can scurry into troll respawn points and cause them to cave in.
When different types of minions become available too, such as fire resistant types, your head will be spinning as often as your axe as there are so many brilliantly evil choices to make and so little time.
The question is, whether the unique mixture of traditional genres will create something fresh and exciting enough to draw a crowd.
