No, this is not Stone Cold. But, as Overlord, you get to do that all the time.
As Overlord, you get to command at most 35-50 of your loyal minions. You have a weapon and some magic with you but the minion army is your best weapon.
The Overlord can choose two different paths: one is good, the other evil. There are different rewards for choosing a certain way of doing things.
There might be some camera problems that you will encounter. I had some when I faced a specific boss. you have to hold on to L1 and turn the right stick to rotate the camera. Sweeping minions can also be a pain as it is hard to control them, especially if you have a huge army.
The Overlord, as powerful as he is, is a mute. Not a single word came out of his mouth the entire game. Heck but that makes him silent but deadly, really deadly.
But all of those problems are overshadowed by another bigger problem: In one of the abyss levels, there is a particular task that is really so annoying that it took me at least 50 tries to finally accomplish it. That, for me, is the worst part of the game. Not the camera, not the sweeping, just that particular portion. And no, you cannot move on to finish the game without accomplishing that task.
Being evil, being corrupt, having your own private army and conquering one world after another is fun. Killing pillaging and making the world submit to your power is one of the best things to do in a video game, sometimes I would wish I could do it in the real world.
