![]() There are a few collectables to hunt down in Overlord II and plenty of tough achievements to get stuck into. There are a few new gameplay additions like being able to mount your minions on wolves and other large animals to jump borders for loot and being tougher to kill, you can also use them to capture a catapult to fire at blocked objects and finally you can use them to commandeer a ship to move you across a river. The game also requires you to still collect life-force from your foes to build your army of minions, a time consuming operation…but worth it in the long-run. The Overlord himself gets a few tricks up his sleeve including new magic spells and can still kick some serious arse if he has been upgraded properly. Finally, Greens are stealthy, jumping fighters who can get rid of gas clouds in certain areas. Each has their own perk such as Browns are the main fighters, while Blues can swim and revive fallen minions, Reds can throw fire and walk through it without any problems. You control a number of minions who can gather resources and attack enemies. The gameplay for Overlord II remains more or less the same as the first game. ![]() While I preferred the setting of the original game to that of the Roman-esque era that Overlord II depicts, it still manages to impress me with great one-liners, a gripping story and twisted fantasy. The classic humour of the series returns and Rhianna Pratchett has once again performed brilliantly with the script for Overlord II. The game seems more of a linear experience than that of the original game and while it doesn’t change the gameplay up that much, it’s still a fun experience for fans and newcomers alike. Overlord II begins with a prelude and puts you into the role of a tiny Overlord, essentially the son of the Overlord from the first game (or so I believe) and sets the tone for why you became the way you do, setting into the role of Overlord when you grow up. ![]() Overlord II nails the style of gameplay genres that it meshes together for another great adventure with your own Dark Knight. Some might consider it to be Overlord 1.5 instead of a full-blown sequel, but I do tend to disagree. While the sequel is more of the same, it improves upon the original on a more technical level. If you have been reading my Overlord reviews so far, you’ll know that I thoroughly enjoyed the original game and it was going to take quite a lot to topple it in my estimations. As the Glorious Empire conquers kingdoms and destroys any sign of magic it finds, it’s time to go Minion Maximus and send in the horde. In Overlord II, a new Overlord and a more powerful army of Minions take on an entire empire in a truly epic adventure, inspired by the rise of the Roman Empire. ![]() Overlord II is the sequel to the hit warped fantasy action adventure that had players being delightfully despotic. Beating baby seals to death? How evil…count me in! ![]()
