Overlord 2007

Is it still worth playing?

You are a resurrected warrior known as the Overlord who commands hordes of gremlin like minions to reconquer the lands, in this 2007 action role-playing game from Triumph Studios. You have to defeat the seven corrupted heroes who killed your predecessor, each one a deadly sin. There are four minion races: Browns fight in melee, Blues revive fallen minions and swim, Reds throw fireballs and resist fire, and Greens backstab and clear poisonous gas. You summon minions from spawning pits by paying life force, five at first and up to fifty later, and you can sacrifice them at altars to restore health or mana. A corruption system lets you be evil or really evil, with choices that change the story. The tone is a comical satire of fantasy, and your tower is upgraded between missions. Four kinds of minion still decide who to send into each fight.
