Overlord Reviews

Category: News ArchiveHits: 844
Overlord is an enjoyably mischievous experience that blends real-time strategy and RPG elements to unique ends. The satisfaction of running amok with your legion of wickedly enthusiastic minions is what makes Overlord worth playing, and it's plenty compensation for controls that you'll occasionally struggle against and the limitations on just how evil you can really be.
And the other is at CVG with an overall score of 7.5/10:
If Overlord is a villain, then it's one of those buffoon-ish sidekicks in a Disney movie. It tries and tries to be dark, to carry out depraved deeds and thwart the heroes. But it just can't help but cutely (and it is cute) bumble every attempt, conform to clichés at every chance, and grin gently at its own sophomoric humour. And of course, in the end, it always changes to the side of good. Just not good enough.
