You've inherited the ruined domain of an evil overlord, and it's on you to rebuild and capture some evil glory. You have a busy day: peasants to slaughter, villages to burn, hopes to dash. There's a baby with some candy that needs taking the next town over. Strap on your gear! Summon your gremlins! Evil is not going to do itself! Next-generation gaming in a twisted fantasy world where players have the choice to be evil...or really evil! Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord, the player emerges, near death, from the ruins of the old Overlord's Dark Tower. Only the player's actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it's all down to how much of a bad ass they want to be in order to succeed.Overlord's key innovation is the introduction of an array of impish creatures - the Minions. They believe you are the old Overlord reborn and will use their unique skills to fetch, fight and die for you. Throughout the game players will actively control a horde of these gremlin-like critters and they'll follow your every instruction no matter how despotic or, for the Minions, life threatening it is. Overlord offers a wealth of freedom and allows players to experience classic fantasy like never before.

Overlord comes loaded with innovative and compelling game mechanics wrapped in a scenario that's played out with plenty of black humour.
