✦ AI summary
Players appreciate this Overlord-themed Metroidvania for its solid soundtrack, accessible gameplay, and appeal to series fans, with some highlighting good boss designs and replayability. However, common complaints include its short length relative to the asking price, generic Metroidvania mechanics, annoying difficulty achievements that don't stack (forcing multiple playthroughs), intrusive freeze-frame animations in the late game, and occasional camera/level design issues that lead to cheap deaths.
My favorite parts of the game: 1) Difficulty achievements do not stack. So I can be forced to replay my favorite parts of the game 2 more times at a minimum. 2) The absolute nonstop "freeze the gameplay so some stupid animation can play out" that plagues the entire final third of the game. This is truly what every action-focused game needs, and the fact that more games don't do this is terrible. 3) You pay mana for the opportunity to pay more mana, but it's random if you get to pay mana 1, 2, or 3 times before you need to repay mana for the opportunity to pay more mana. 4) "I didn't see that spike come out from the floor because the camera never panned down. After going through a whole bunch of buzzsaws, I naively assumed the death traps were done. Now I get to redo the whole thing all over again." It's one room. You know if you know. 5) I love 8 million weapons that are all worse or weaker than what I currently have. I love magic that is weak so as to only serve to solve puzzles. 6) Everyone knows how infamous Mega Man X6's level design is. Everyone hates it. And yet everyone continues to draw inspiration from it when making platforming-puzzle leve…2 found this helpful
This is a fun, but short, metroidvania game where you get to go throughout all of Nazarick. It's soundtrack is baller and the game has some simple enough formula anybody could play it. If your a fan of the Overlord series this is a fun game to try out! My advice would be to wait till it's on sale as it's base price is a little high for how short it is... -Overall fun game, sasuga Ainz-sama!!2 found this helpful
Never seen the Overlord anime. Most of the mechanics are janky or are straight up pointless. There is some fun to be had in cheesing the game by abusing a late-game ability. The music is good. The game is alright, but it lacks the metroidvania sauce. Definitely not worth buying at full price.1 found this helpful
Pretty generic Metroidvania-style game using the Overlord IP. It was straightforward, and nothing really stood out to me. I will say that having to do separate playthroughs on Easy, Normal, and Hard to get 100% was annoying. I beat Normal first, assuming it would unlock the Easy achievement as well, but I was wrong... So if you're going for 100%, be prepared to do 3 playthroughs. (6/10)1 found this helpful
An interesting choice of a protagonist who is pure evil in the anime and LN. Somehow, though, it's pretty cool to play her. The maps are good, the gameplay is okay, and the bosses are the highlight. Overall, a small but good Overlord game.
If you want a metroidvania itch to be scratched this isn't bad. Overlord fans be tickled by it.
