Last week, I purchased Overlord II off Steam since I thought I did not have any games to entertain me.  Please mind me, I haven’t finished Cross Edge.  I haven’t finished this game as well and so I shall share my thoughts about this game.

What is it?
Overlord II is an RPG game about us being the Overlord, controlling 4 types of minions (as seen on the picture: brown, red, green and blue) to bring destruction upon the humans.

Gameplay
You have minions.  Yes, they are those little imps (or goblins whatever) following you at the back and you can order them to cause chaos.

Basically your action will effect your Alignment, being evil or good overlord.  You will encounter quests throughout the storyline which effects your alignment depending on the path you choose to complete the quest.  You are also able to decorate your Dark Tower (your home), upgrade your minions, buy gears and of course you can find yourself a mistress.

Who is it for?
I guess this is aimed for everyone, I find the story pretty humorous despite the annoying accent of the elves.  Glad you get to kill them.

What do I think?
This game is frustrating.  I spend hours completing a quest and I accidentally trigger an evil path and I have to replay from the beginning again.  I always choose the good path first.  There was a quest where you have to conquer a village and you can either subdue the villagers or kill them.  I accidentally kill one villager and hence I am stuck.  I am not sure if the number of villagers will increase later, but I got pretty frustrated.

If you don’t mind grinding for money and lifestock (to summon minions) then you would want this game.
