If you are completely confused right now, you aren’t suffering some sort of fever dream - I said it was time to race. But let’s not dwell on that - it’s time to race! For an Overlord, you are certainly spending a great deal of time doing the heavy lifting. This gate will slam shut, trapping the bulk of your expendable minions behind it and likely leaving you alone once again. With several waves of dead enemies in your wake, you’ll eventually walk past a gate. You can tell that it’s time to do this as there is a giant banner that tells you so, as well as Gnarl’s constant insistence of “Weapons ready, it’s time for smiting!” These foes will run directly at you in a straight line, inexorably allowing you to slaughter them wholesale with your ranged attack. This is a non-stop problem with an already expendable force, but it doesn’t really matter - you won’t have them long.Įach level starts with an imperative to kill off some elves, slugs, Paladins, or some other foe. Now, your Overlord points in the general direction and your minions will likely just run over to the nearest Golden (that is to say, areas with grass and flowers) and commit suicide, transforming into pink bunny versions of themselves. In the previous two titles you’d use your thumbstick to ‘sweep’ your minions into position, eviscerating everything in their path. With minions spawned and ready to…damn it, where’d they go? The minion AI is about as stupid as it comes. The game can be played Gauntlet-style with four players cooperatively, but we’ll get back to that. Players can pick from Inferna the Warrior, Malady the Necromancer, Cryos the ice-wielding elf, and Hakon the dual-axe-throwing dwarf - I selected Malady. Four Netherghuls have answered the call to end this cuteness at the source. Cuteness has begun to infect the land via a power called “The Golden,” transforming evil creatures into horrible colorful versions of themselves, complete with skipping and singing even the slugs get cute little racing stripes.

With the death of the reigning evil Overlord (and the destruction of the Netherheart) at the end of Overlord II, Gnarl, the twisted little minion leader, is looking for a new Overlord ruler.
#Overlord fellowship of evil series#
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil manages to be the most evil game in the series so far, but for all the wrong reasons. The games were funny and unique, with gameplay that could be described as demonic Pikmin. Spurred by its success, Overlord II released two years later, improving on the formula. Eight years ago I absolutely loved a little game called Overlord. Terminator, Jaws, Alien, The Matrix, Spider-Man, X-Men, Superman, Transformers - what do all of these items have in common? The third iteration absolutely obliterated any good feelings we had about their predecessors. If you enjoyed the video, please hit the LIKE button! I really appreciate it! And it helps with my search rankings on Youtube! Players embark on an epic new quest in single-player or with up to three friends in co-op, assisted by the mighty, maniacal and occasionally moronic minions.

Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is an Action RPG filled with the series’ black humour and penned by award-winning scriptwriter Rhianna Pratchett.
