Overlord for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

This game is amazing. Only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because the online could use some work. Having the ability to control massive amounts of minions really does give you that Pikmin feel, only with a dark twist to it. Being able to choose whether or not you want to be good or evil is a great aspect of the game. Your appearance changes the more and more evil you get. The camera controls are very nice, it does take a little bit of getting used to though. Controlling the overlord with the left stick, minions with the right. With up to four different minion types, and a max of 50 minions. You really don't have to do anything yourself, unless you want to. It's actually a pretty long game, I didn't fool around too awful much and beat it in about 19 hours. The replay value on it is through the roof. Beating it again with 0% corruption, 100% corruption. It really don't get old. The dungeon is very cool too, being able to go back and kill everything you've fought before(except for bosses). You can even forge your own armor and weapons. You start with steel armor, helmet and axe. You pick up a Steel(if you want a sword or mace), Durium and Arcanium smelter along the way for new weapons and armor. You can sacrifice minions to jump in the smelter to make your armor/weapons all the more powerful. You can add accessories to your tower, giving it more of that dark, overlord-like feel. If you're evil you can actually capture peasants and take them to your tower to serve as slaves. You get a mistress later on in the game as well. All in all, very good game. Really hope they make a sequel. Definitely a buy.
