Codemasters release Overlord II tomorrow
- Thread starter tinytomlogan
- Start date
bring on DIABLO 3 GAWD!Now speaking as someone who like COD4, CSS and GRID with the occasional MMORPG this is one of the first games I played that I've come away from my PC with a smile on my face. ( and yes i said games... )
Theres something for everyone in there, mind.. some of the humour can be quite adult, if your brains wired up that way! Children probably wont understand a lot of the references.
Im sure the developers had a ball writing this.
Its quite clear from the outset this game isn't to be taken seriously and its very refreshing.
Ill have a mini review with some screenies up by the weekend.

By the sounds of things the new one goes a step further, Lasher loves it!

Funny u should say that, I'm playing it with the XBox 360 controller.
Decent enough game. Some of the graphics are good, some.. not so good. They're very much into the "cutesy" aspect with some things.
Just passed the rescuing the ship thing, which rescued me from thinking it was going to be an overly-tedious game.
Should be playing it for the next week or so.
1 core btw, pc never goes over 3x% shared.

Gets good later on Rast,
Tactics come into play with your different types of minions.( browns,reds,blues and greens )
The browns are my fav's though
Your right about the graphics but as most of Overlord is tongue in cheek I think they actually complement game.
darn im going to have to have another few hours on it again now.

Sometimes you need to revisit and area and complete sub quests from your Tower.
You got your Mistress yet?
Think there was one i was struggling with that wasn't quite clear and that was a quest in Nordberg where you had to enslave so many villagers to carry the quest chain further.

(from memory)
I have the mistress.
(took the elf ship instead of the one u rescue, cos it had better stats)
The quests:
Find all crew (have 5/10, can't get at rest without green minions)
Get tower shards (need blue minions, from Empire sewers? never been there)
Find blue minions (see above)
Control the berg (have 67/97, 3 dead, can't open 2 gates with 'turny' things behind them, but there is a wall green minions can break)
Kill 1000 gnomes (have... 400 orso)
May go back tonite with a fresh head and go through all areas.

Bah, I found out where I was stuck after revisting almost ALL the areas again.
Not a total wasted exercise as I've made up some nice weapons along the way, including the scorcher one that I heard wasn't very good ?!?!
Seemed good to me in wiping those pandas out. Once their flamed up, they're 'toast'. Also allows u to break some barriers u couldn't b4 cos u couldn't get ur red minions there.
Got greens now, lmao they're pretty savage.
Not a very 'pc' type of game - that's very surprizing. Clubbing seals - killing Pandas >.<
