About Overlord II
✦ AI summary
Lead your mischievous minions in a destructive rampage to dominate or annihilate the Glorious Empire, commanding four specialized minion types to loot, pillage, and operate war machines across beautifully destructible environments. Whether you prefer enslaving humanity or watching the world burn, this chaotic action-strategy sequel lets you tackle massive battles your way with mountable minions, multiple mistresses to court, and a deliciously dark sense of humor.
Overlord II, sequel to the critically acclaimed cult hit, sees the return of the chaotic Minions and their new Dark Master. Bigger, badder and more beautifully destructive, Overlord 2 has a Glorious Empire to smash, a massive Netherworld to revive, Minion mounts to mobilize, a trio of mistresses to woo, War Machines to crush opposition and lots of cute creatures to, err... murder (and a mini-map)
- 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.

If you liked Overlord 1, you'll like Overlord 2. The Mechanics (ex. Minion control) play similar to Overlord 1, but less buggy and a bit better explained via tutorial in game. Also the storyline has been improved. You're no longer facing some generic, mostly unnamed "Heroes', but now a "Not"-the-Roman-Empire that wants to capture (?and harvest?) magic & magical creatures for nebulous ends. Which includes our Overlord and their precious evil minions! Graphics are also improved. The old evil tower looked nice, the new evil tower looks awesome! The rivers and waterfalls of lava, and the floating moving rocks underground give it an upgraded EVIL Mordor look. And the minions are still hilarious, as usual, delighting in mayhem and chaos. The enemies are pretty funny too, with the way the inept "Not"-Roman soldier runs and acts, the hippie elves, the aggressive gnomes (like being attacked by angry mice), etc.2 found this helpful
Just a badly designed game. Every single mission is Anti-fun and just time consuming. Like Overlord 1 but this is straight trash time padding
-Multiple soft locks that require reloading past saves, one of them happens 10 minutes into the game at the snowfort in the tutorial. -Game does not respect your time, checkpoints have 30 minute+ gaps between them. -90% of the game is just walking spamming left mouse without any thought, incredibly basic combat design. -Camera locks on minions if you walk so you can't look around while walking, it sucks. -The same mobs are repeated throughout the game, very boring. I really don't think the game has aged well, I'd only suggest getting the game if you get it for <$3.
Bought this years ago on PS3? Also have the first game. Couldnt resist buying it on PC. This is one of those games that'll fit in any collection.
You played Overlord. You liked Overlord. You'll probably like this. You didn't like Overlord? You're not gonna like this. You didn't play Overlord? Why the hell are you looking at the sequel? This is over your head. Go back to Roblox.
Easily one of the best produced early games of its era, and nothing compares in game type today. I do mean nothing like this exist anymore. One of the games in the franchise failed completely and ended it entirely but also for some reason no one has made a game like it since. Closest you can get is pikmen but that is a bit of a very far off resemblance. Old but so very fun.
