Overlord II

loved the concept of the first 2 games..... Positives of Overlord 2. 1It retains the core game play that was the fundation of the first game. 2the addition of minion 'sprawles' with a reaper servant leeting you resurect those lvl 10 minions that you spent the last 2 houers looting armor & weapons from fights with etc is a very neat addition. 3It got delicious ambiance & music Negatives of OVerlord 2. 1The gear customisation mechanics of the first game is replaced by a 'ladder' progresion of preset gear you can buy/make in your armory. 2Your spells is far lees a versetile edge for your overlord and more a 'utility' tool for your minions and your minions only..no minions to spare = extremly limited use of your spells aka no classic fireballs here. 3compared to the first game..the 'window' to explore the game world once you 'found' the last minion type to circomvent all kinds of enviroment hinders is very..very..short. so all in all , a garantie to be a joy t oplay ,it only lost 1 star on my part due to how the extremly customisation inviting mechanics for your gear and more 'diverse' spell choises in the first game not could be found in this one.

One of my favorite games; btw, both of them :) There is not much to say then just good follow up of the first one and yes, it is a real nice feature to have three mistresses hehehehe It is a shame the makers did not go on with this formula and created a third in this way how they made the first two. More I realy cannot add, most reviews here describe how good this game is :)

I have lots of fun with Overlord II but unable to give it more than 3 stars and that's because the Spider Temple level. Up until that point, the bad camera and control during minions sweeping is annoying but manageable, it become pure frustration there. It's just about halfway through the game and likely make you rage quit.

I love it. It captures the spirit of the 2000s - of developers still doing something fun and interesting. It's simple fun and I love it. The game can be a bit harsh and stingy at times with the autosaves, but it doesn't matter too much, because the game has soul. The graphics are not photorealistic - but neither you'd want them to be. Maybe it's just me, but I love this style. Gameplay loop gets a bit tedious on one hand, but on the other playing around with minions and the game throwing in small puzzles to solve makes up for it. I would still take it over an uninteresting ability tree anyday. Story is simple and it's perfect. Lately I've been very tired with newer games - they try to be incredibly distinct, with a lot of twists and God forbid the game does something funny - everything has to be serious. This game is not like that, everything is funny. Some of the jokes are extra corny - which I love. Overall, the feeling of the game is unlike anything new. Highly recommend, though important note: controls are awful.
