So be sure to buy upgrades whenever you can, and you'll even be picking up weapons and armor from certain enemies throughout the game.Īn all new storyline is brought into Overlord II and as mentioned a new Overlord is in charge as well as smarter and stronger minions as I just described. Of course any minion with upgrades is stronger than one brought straight out of a minion gate. In line with the minions grabbing helmets and putting them on comes the fact that you can tool your minions to make them stronger and more fierce. You should see this fairly early in the game when you face off against the Empire's army. I also found the minions quite comical in the fact that they will put on trophies such as fallen soldier helmets. Oh no, they have shaken the learning disabilities and can now band together to run war machines such as catapults and even disguise themselves to pass through villages undetected until its time to unleash their terror. These minions are not your typical dumb breed anymore. You'll use these mounts to traverse gaps not normally passable by foot and they also increase the speed and attack damage as well. Something new and actually very cool in Overlord II is the ability for your minions to mount up and ride creatures and wolves throughout the world. Altogether these minions make quite a force to be reckoned with and the human world is in for a pretty rough go of things when you come to town with your army. The Blues have magical abilities that allow them to heal fallen comrades as well as pass through enemy lines without harm. They'll sneak up on unsuspecting enemies and take them out quicker than Sam Fisher could ever dream of doing. Your Greens are more of your stealth minions. They are able to throw fireballs and have quite the hot headed tempers. The Reds are your minions of fire so to speak. They'll taunt enemies and sing songs while enjoying a good fight. The Browns are your do all, say all group of thugs. The groups are simply named after colors which they are represented by on screen as well. You'll have four types of minions at your disposal, each having their own personality and special attributes and abilities. Yes, it is a bit disturbing that I feel that way. It just doesn't seem right, yet it seems oh so right at the same time. Then your minions start running around clubbing the seals to collect their life force. Right out of a World Wildlife Foundation commercial. You'll hear your narrator say look at the cute baby seals, and suddenly you get a closeup of this white furry seal with big black eyes staring at you and being all cute. One example of this humor comes at the expense of cute little baby seals scampering about on an artic ice flow. Whimsical Humor, parodies, and plenty of comical antics to keep the game fresh and at times laugh out loud funny. If you are new to the series you will quickly learn what the Overlord games are all about. There really isn't anything difficult about the controls, its just a matter of getting used to sending your minions out to do your dirty work with the triggers or use of the right and left analog sticks. The first level is a bit of a tutorial and a chance to learn the controls. After making your way through some Empire soldiers, you sink with your Yeti friend into the icy depths of a local lake. Immediately the villagers hand you over in order to avoid a fate of death and destruction. From there the story begins and you are introduced to the Glorious Empire asking that all magic doers be turned over. Along with the help of several minions you teach the village kids a lesson and make your way into the village. Right off the bat you are thrown into the world as am adolescent overlord candidate and being teased by the local children. Well as an evil Overlord in command of minions you can do all that and more in the second installment of Overlord published by Codemasters and developed by Triumph Studios. Have you ever just wanted to wreak havoc on the world with no repercussions to ever face? Think of the fun it would be terrorizing villages and its residents and just destroying everything in site, just because you can and you feel like it.
