Overlord + Raising Hell

This game takes typical fantasy conventions and lovingly mocks them, putting you in the shoes of the Sauron-like Overlord as you slay the corrupted heroes who put you in the grave. But it's more than that. Your minions are charming and you get attached to them, as they wear pumpkins and rat-heads as helmets and cackle at their maniacal destruction. The strategy is actually quite a lot of fun, as you use a combination of fighter-minions, fire-throwers, stealthy minions and healers to accomplish your goals. It's not that short, despite what some reviewers say. Be evil, or even more evil as the game gives you a few opportunities to make choices which do impact on the game. TL;DR. This games lets you light a field of grain on fire while it's full of hobbits. What more do you need.

Having fun with this game. Always a good morale booster when a horde of monsters cheers for you

Had a blast with this game and pleased to see it supports LAN multiplayer as well. From an era where LAN play was still a thing :D The game is not like much else out there so I sugest you watch a video of the game play and it it appeals take the plunge.

I love this game. I like the atmosphere, the humour (if you like the art style of Fable, then you will also like this). The story is interesting has even een plot twist at the end wich I did not expect the first time when I played it. It is fun to have the minions and use them to pillage, plunder burn and murder. It is simply be refreshing to be the bad guy then otherwise always the hero. But the minions are also the drawback, the controls are not always that accurate, so that minions who are carrying important and big stuff are getting stucked behind something. You can control them manually to 'wiggle'them free, but still it is bothersome. I have the game for the xbox and for the pc, and I must say, the controls are better with the mouse and keyboard. The mouse is more precise then the analog stick on the controler when you try to move the minions manually. But thats my opinion. So my opinion is, definitely a must buy for this money.

The original game wouldn't hit the 5-star rating, but the Raising Hell DLC made worth it! Pros: - funny, enjoyable story - original atmosphere (especially in the Abysses) - looks and sounds fine - cheap!! Cons: - the nerve-racking controlls! - only auto-save system - sometimes frustrating because the game doesn't help you what should do at some points - too short Overall, even though this game has some problems, I highly recommend it. Especially because the DLC. Rading the in any Abyss is great fun, the puzzles are creative, the atmosphere is totally on point. (If there would be a version just for the Abyss-parts - I'd be the happiest man ever). Get it as soon as possible!
