Overlord is one of those games that you grab really not knowing what to expect.
Amazingly enough I picked it up expecting a mediocre game but rather I ended up with a quite amazing experience.
I love this game first off because it offers incredibly fresh gameplay that never before have I seen on another RPG. I think it could possibly be on the level of Fable if anyone ever tried that out but with more of a tactical approach to the game and a lot more fun added to it.
I say tactical because you dont just blindly send your minions ahead and get slaughtered, rather you need to plan ahead and put your soliders where they need to be. It really makes the game in my opinion, you actually have to think at what needs to be done, also thanks to the different puzzles in the games since only certain minions can reach certain places and get through certain areas.
I love the idea of customizing stuff in these games aswell. I wont give anything out since it would ruin the fun but a lot of the stuff you're trying to accomplish in the game is related directly with what you can customize.
Also, i think the controls in this are incredibly well thought of since its very easy to get through the levels even with tons of minions following you. That also, really sells the game in my opinion since you're not so worried about some of your goblins dieing along the way but rather how to get through.
Overall i think its a great experience, defenetly recommend it to anyone who's looking for something different and/or is a fan of rpgs in general. I think you would enjoy the occasional laugh attached to it too.
