Overlord™

Prepare to be tempted, mesmerized and thrilled, become the Overlord, how corrupt you become depends on how you handle any given situation. Overload is a hack and slash minions type game. The game story is built around Lord of the Rings and other fantasies. Played this on my Dell XPS 9570 with GTX 1050 Ti Max Q 4GB. Game is very playable.

Technically you also gain more minions from killing living things, so you are kind of a necromancer. Keep in mind that you should play it with a controller and even then the controls will challenge your patience here and there. For a 19 years old classic the visuals of this game aged really well. It's humorous and the big semi-open areas give you plenty opportunity to explore and search for loot and upgrades. Everything you do has an effect on the game, killing random stuff gives you more minions, destroying and plundering gives you gear for your minions and gold. A relatively fleshed out corruption mechanic exists, which…

The story line is good, i also enjoyed the challenge of some of the activities

This was the first kinda game like this i'd played back in the day, and still holds up as one of me favourites! NIce comical element to it.

One of my all time favorite games.
