First impressions on Overlord |
Ó
Since when is being bad, er, bad? Not in Overlord, we assure you. Triumph Studios has hit the nail right on the head by capitalizing on the universal fact that evil is more exciting than good and taking a ride on the whole anti-hero bandwagon.Like a lot of you out there, we were delighted when we finally had the chance to download the Codemasters demo of the game for the PC and the Xbox 360. We must say that we weren't disappointed and the demo got us lusting for more power than ever.
The story puts you in the iron boots of a mysterious masked character who awakens with the powers of an overlord. Sadly, you don't exactly have a castle with scantily-clad coquettes catering to your every whim, just yet. Don't fret though - you've got a gang of naughty goblins to shoe in for the lovelies.
You will realize that your tall, proud Dark Tower is falling apart and you need to do some serious housekeeping and remodeling to make the crib more pleasant. Then again, you just woke up and you're flat-down broke, so you have to seek out some peaceful villages for "donations."
With your posse of fine goblins, you seek out villages, pillage them dry and if you're lucky, take home some hot peasant girls to help you at home. Unfortunately, you've got some competition in town. The past "heroes" of the land who slew your predecessor have themselves been corrupted by fame and power and are now abusing the peasants themselves. There's room for only one peasant tormentor in town and there ain't no way we're passing up the role, right?
Essentially you can play the game two ways: evil, or downright freakin' evil. This will reflect on how the peasants treat you. You know you've been protecting the people's interests if you march into town and see them cheering. However, you know you've been real nasty if they're offering their virgin daughters just to keep your head cool.
But without a doubt, the real fun in Overlord comes from the gamer himself. Nothing is more satisfying than living the tyrannical dreams that most of us have but can never do in real life. It's so much like Lord of the Rings except that you're Sauron. Or maybe something to the context but not the gameplay of Disgaea. Whatever the case is, we give the Overlord demo its props and we'll be waiting for the whole package with painful anticipation.

You mean you have to be evil in this game! This is an outrage! This game is nothing more than an evil murder simulator! We should band together so that no one can get their hands on this terrible game!
Right....
I'm sure he was joking, as his name was put in as Jack Thompson.
But why did they not say that it was like pikmin...its just like that.. im really looking forward to it! :)
