  It's an alright game, but it deviates so far from the tried and true method of having minions be the focus of gameplay. Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is inherently designed to be played with friends, meaning that there should be multiple main characters instead of minions. I started and enjoyed the previous Overlords by summoning minions and swarming the enemy. This game has very little of that. Would not recommend. Edit: You can tell the community agrees since the achievement for killing trolls is around 20% completion rating for owned users. The trolls are like the second level in the game. 80% of users aren't completing the second level.

  I know what you are thinking, “How bad can it be?”, and trust me, it is that bad and then some.. I was keen to actually try it out and give it an honest run for its money but I could ot go through with it.. This is the thing, I like the Overlord series, and I consider the first installment to be a hidden gem in the Sauron simulators of the world. This is an abomination and a pure mockery of all the things that made Overlord a great game.. First of all, the concept on paper seems fine, right? Cooperative halfling stomping in a jolly undisturbed cozy fantasy setting sounds like a blast, and even that simple thing does not work. The different designs of the overlords are lazy beyond belief, the gameplay is broken and gets horrible stale quickly.. And how the hell do you actually make the combat WORSE in the third installment? Avoid it, don’t even try it if you already own the aberration.. Your time is worth so much more than to spend it corralling brainless minions over boring dungeons in the search for what could have been a great game..

  This game was fun for the first ten minutes, but the fact that I wasn't relying on the minions from the get go to do most of the fighting was a glaring issue, and the combat itself was nothing more than spamming auto attacks until the blues needed to heal me. Codemasters tried to change up the formula, but I don't feel like it's worked out too well. The new characters brought in are also pretty weak, and don't stand up to the ones in previous Overlord titles.

  This game takes the Overlord name and steers it in a completely different direction. Instead of the gameplay focusing on solving puzzles with minions you're basically expected to spam the attack until whatever needs to be dead dies, and then your blues heal you. The tutorial level does a piss poor job of telling you what to do and even with changing ZERO presets, I still had to spam key combos until I figured out how to pass the area because the key combos the tutorial presents are wrong. If you loved the previous titles in the franchise, steer clear of this.

  Edit 10/21/2015 I will be reinstalling this to play some more as a second chance. I will write a better indepth review around sometime next week. -------------------------------------------- ITS WAY TOO SIMPLE. No indepth game play You use literally three buttons to attack. Your minions are sucky You can't even guide them I was hoping for something great I understand this isn't suppose to be Overlord three. But its so simple in its game play. Like why do puzzles exist within an action themed game Why do I use only three buttons to attack? Why are the upgrades so linear? WHY DO REDS NOT HAVE RANGED ATTACKS ANYMORE Just can't do this. And to top it off, this game has Wait for it RACES :D No no no, not magical races like elfs or dwarfs but LITERAL DEATH RACES

  A major disappointment. Minions are basicly window dressing in the game, as you can hardly summon enough to do much damage to your enemies. 95% of the fighting is on you. The second major drawback is the inflexible camera. It is set to just one direction, so you very well can find yourself running blind down an alley, as opposed to seeing where you are going. I thought the player was supposed to be an Overlord, just like the previous games. Considering the small amount of minions you get to summon, the player is more of a Corporal than an Overlord. Sadly an epic fail on the part of Codemasters. If you have played and enjoyed the previous Overlord games, save your money and don't waste it on this. Refund requested.

  I tried to stay optimistic for this game. I really did. However, it seems I was a little TOO optimistic for that. As many people have stated, this is fun for about 10 minutes or so. However, it gets boring fast. The controls are quite odd and clunky. Those experienced with the previous Overlord games are familiar with Browns being on 1 and Reds on 2 and so on. This game completely changes that, with Reds on 1, Browns on 3, etc. AND they make you hold down the Shift key on top of that. The gameplay is stale. The minions have little impact on gameplay, and you are basically just button mashing to win. No spells, aside from one move with a really long cooldown. You only have 3 buttons to attack with, and I spent most of my time using only one. Can't believe I supported this game while it was still in development. I expected better for an Overlord game.

  I rarely review games, but this one earned it for a simple reason: the controls were ridiculously sluggish. I despise the kind of game where most of the challenge consists of starting shocked at the screen snarling "what are you DOING?" at your character as they fire directly away from enemies or walk onto obviously avoidable spikes despite any input from keyboard or controller. I used both an xinput controller and the keyboard/mouse, neither made the game enjoyable. Gone is the satisfying "minion sweep" function too - now they just turn up and do whatever they feel like, which generally involves running into the nearest hazard to their fiery (or fluffy) deaths. I loved the Overlord series and this game looked fresh in the trailers, but it's pretty foul up close.
