About This Game
- What sort of stuff will I get to kill? Your main source of victims will come from the brave and highly flammable ranks of the Glorious Empire, a sinister regime that gained power after the fall of the previous Overlord. You'll be hacking your way through entire battalions at a time, but to keep the blood on your sword varied we've also thrown a few Yetis, Elves, villagers and annoyingly cute indigenous species into the mix, just to name but a few. Don't say we never do anything for you.
- I've always wanted to enslave the human race, is this the game for me? You've come to the right place! With the Domination style Overlord humanity, can become your plaything. Village by village, you'll reap the benefits of an unwilling workforce as you drive the Glorious Empire from your lands.
- I'm more of a "watch the world burn" kind of guy, can I still get my rocks off? We've got your pleasure, sir. With the Destruction style Overlord you can ravage the land like a moody Tsunami; razing cities, forests and Imperial camps to the ground just because they looked at you funny.
- What can my minions do? Minions are angry little Swiss army knives of pain: They can ride into battle on wolves and other magical creatures, loot the best weapons from stomped enemies, pillage houses for treasure, operate fearsome war machines, infiltrate enemy camps and polish your armour so thoroughly you'll blind passing wildlife.
- What types of Minions can I rule? This new batch of minions is smarter, faster, deadlier and wittier than the sorry sacks of skin you used to rule. Minions now come in four fantastic flavours: Browns are brutal brawlers that solve their problems with teeth and fists. Reds are the surly artillery who love to play catch, as long as it's with fireballs. Greens are the stealthy assassins. Silent and deadly, like a fart on legs. Blues are no use in a fight but can resurrect fellow Minions who've tried to stop a sword with their face.

God I need an Overlord 3 that isn't Fellowship of Evil
Overlord II is a rare kind of sequel that embraces everything chaotic and fun about its predecessor while expanding the world, refining mechanics, and upping the scale of its wicked humor. Released by Triumph Studios, the game casts you once again as an evil overlord, this time the son of the original, now tasked with rising to power in a world ruled by a hypocritical and tyrannical Roman-esque empire. The game’s signature blend of action, real-time strategy, and tongue-in-cheek satire remains firmly intact, but what stands out is how much more confident and ambitious this entry feels—it's bigger, funnier, and more polished, though not without a few stumbles along the way. You begin your journey as a young, vengeful overlord-to-be, growing up in a snowy village under the boot of the Glorious Empire. The early hours serve as a kind of twisted origin story, complete with bullying villagers, corrupted pets, and darkly comic trials of power. Once you don the horned helmet and gather y...
So much fun, shame we havent another
I bought both these games.
The second part of my favorite childhood game, I recommend playing it if you like to control your retinue and send it to exterminate all living things + winter - Rome and the Elves
currently a broken mess does not work with modern computer system stay away unless you want a project.
A fantastic sequel to an already fantastic series. I remember when this came out, I had it bookmarked on my calendar and woke up like it was Christmas. I cannot talk enough about how much I praise the Overlord series. I left a more detailed review on the Overlord Rising Hell page but TLDR. Get this game. Its a beloved treasure and I hope you will have as much fun as I did and still do with this title
Locked out of the game due to a game breaking bug that won't let me continue.
Overlord 2 is a curious game for me. While i have (almost) nothing but happy memoires of the first game, I didn't find such love with the second. I remember specifically reaching the boat section and then just... giving up, thinking "oh god this is awful, i don't want to have to do this on and off through the rest of the game". On a second try, i was very happy to find that i didn't have to do that and, in fact, it was basically just that part and the next level... and that was it. I have no idea why they had to make us suffer through that at all if it was all going to end that fast but... hey, nice i guess? Overlord 2 is a mechanically competent game with some questionable design choices and overall, less of the vibe the first game had. THe characters aren't as interesting, the story isn't really as gripping... the twists and turns just... really aren't that exciting. The final twist, the secret identity revealing itself (or both i guess?) just kind of fell flat to me. Neither char...
