A resurrected lord, a horde of gremlins, and the urge to be evil, or really evil.

No criterion votes yet, so we lean on instinct. And here, a clear surprise: on spontaneous choice, Overlord beats 95% of games. That is very high. On few votes, to confirm of course, but the community's first surge is sharp and enthusiastic. For a 2007 title, that immediate appeal intrigues as much as it delights.

In the action RPG landscape, Overlord works a tasty niche: dark humor, a parody of heroic fantasy, and that blend of real time strategy through the minions and role playing progression. That offbeat personality is likely why it lands so well on gut feeling, where more serious games leave you cold.

So, who is it for? For you if you like commanding a band of unruly creatures, savoring a cynical tone and playing a villain who owns it. Much less so if you want a sleek modern production, the charm lies precisely in its period grain.
