I truly miss the overlord series by triumph studios

It is one of my favourite games series, everything about it, from its humour to its evil pikminish gameplay

For people unaware, overlord is a game series by Triumph studios where you play as the Overlord, magical tyrant with the goal to conquer the world, by your side are your minions.

your minions include your frontline fighters Brown minions, your long range fire throwers the red Minion, sneaky backstabbers the green minions, your magical healers the blue minions and Gnarl your devoted Minion master and loyal servant of evil.

In total there are (Sadly) five games, the First game "overlord/overlord rising hell"which is very good, it weirdly has a good/evil morality system, the second game "Overlord 2/ll" is just an improvement on the first game in everyway in my opinion, the admittedly weird morality system is replaced with a chose your type of evil system with the opinions being either destruction or domination, the third game is "overlord dark legend" which is only on the Wii no morality system, there is the spinoff ds game "Overlord minions" and finally the game which almost 100% the reason the series has died, it is Overlord fellowship of evil, a shitty Diablo clone that is NOTHING like the other mainline games and I refuse to comment on it further.

If you are interested in any of these games I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying them overlord 1 and two are on steam for like 15 dollars per game, and are also on Xbox 360 and PS3( for PS3 it will be called Overlord rising hell and includes the DLC) but if you can't or wanna watch someone first before buying, their is a YouTube channel called smite who have played all three of the traditional overlord games, and they even get some dev from the game in the videos to talk about the game and its development.

So yeah code masters, ea pls. Make overlord three I'm begging you.

"Evil always finds a way!"

Even to your Nintendo DS! Overlord Minions is probably the most obscure game in the already forgotten Overlord game series, and so I had to give it more attention!

I made a video featuring the complete soundtrack for you to enjoy!

I may also make a full playthrough later if I can find a way to setup everything accordingly, as recording a DS game even on... well... "totally a DS" 🥸... is not that easy to do and especially to make it look good...

In the meanwhile, here are some screenshots of the cutscenes!

A Look At Stuff You Probably Never Heard Of: Overlord

Oh boy!! I've been wanting to take a look at this for a long while!! And before anyone says "Wait, isn't this anime/manga super popular?" No, I'm not talking about the anime/manga isekai series. No, I'm talking about the video game that actually came out before that series, though they share the same name. Today, we'll be taking a look at... Overlord!

Overlord is a T-rated action roleplaying video game developed by Triumphant Studios and published by Codemasters. The game was initially released for PC and Xbox 360 on June 26th, 2007 in North America, June 29th of the same year in Europe, and July 6th of that same year in Australia. It would later be released for Playstation 3 on June 22nd of the following year in Europe, 24th in America, and July 3rd in Australia.

It would eventually be ported to Steam, as would its sequels and the DLC.

Taking place in an unnamed dark fantasy world, a being known only as "The Overlord" is revived by tiny gremlin-like creatures known as "Minions" who proclaim him to be their Master. Among the Minions is a particularly old and wise Minion known as "Gnarl", who serves as the advisor to the Overlord.

As for the plot, sometime prior to the events of the game, the previous Overlord was defeated by the Seven Heroes, who also destroyed and looted the Dark Tower, where the Overlord and his Minions reside. However, following their victory, the Seven Heroes have become corrupted, drunk off their fame and glory and began terrorizing the lands they once sought to save and protect. Melvin the Halfling fell to gluttony and began eating anything and everything, enslaving most of Mellow Hills to fulfill his endless appetite. Oberon the elf became to lazy to protect his home from the invading dwarves who either slaughtered or enslaved his people. And King Goldo the Dwarf enslaved as many elves as possible to work in the mines and expand his wealth.

The goal of the Overlord is to reclaim destroy the corrupted heroes, restore the Dark Tower, and reconquer the land and establish his lordship over the inhabitants. The Overlord must also search for the other Minion Hives, as to reclaim his lost Minions, having only just the Browns.

Much of the gameplay can be compared to Pikmin, as it mostly revolves around the Minions; holding the Left Trigger will lock the target on something, be it an object or enemy while the Right Trigger sends Minions to that object. Pressing the button sends one Minion while holding it sends multiple, however many so long as the button is held. Similarly, moving the Right Thumbstick up will sweep the Minions, allowing the player to specifically control their movements. Pressing Circle (PS3) or B (360) calls one Minion back at a time while holding the button calls all of them.

Pressing X (PS3) or A (360) will perform a basic attack combo while pressing Square (PS3) or X (360) will perform a spell, of which multiple kinds can be learned and cycled through with the D-Pad.

Similar to Pikmin, the player can harvest life force from defeated foes and creatures, but only a specific type of life force can be harvested for a specific type of Minion.

Brown Life Force grants Brown Minions; the starting Minions and best when it comes to combat. Red Life Force grants Red Minions; they aren't that strong, but are immune to fire and can throw fireballs, setting enemies on fire from a distance. Green Life Force grants Green Minions; slightly stronger than Reds, but if they remain still, they turn invisible, being able to perform devastating backstabs. They have poor hygiene, but are immune to poison. Blue Life Force grants Blue Minions; the weakest of all minions, but also the most magically adept and the only ones able to swim. They're the only ones who can harm magically-inclined beings and are even able to revive recently killed minions.

The overall tone of the game is rather satirical; the Seven Heroes who saved the world from evil were left with nothing to do afterwards and fell into the Seven Deadly Sins, basically becoming evil themselves. It's a dark, twisted comedy of typical fantasy stories. The game itself is also just plain comedic, mostly from how idiotic, yet charming the Minions are, or even just dialogue from the NPCs, such as the idiotic human villagers or the melancholic Elf ghosts/whiny emo Elf slaves. There's also a Jester Minion that the player is free to kick.

Now, as for my Final Recommendation: Never Let Go Of It||Get It||Hold Onto It||Try It||Consider It||Stay Away From It

It's a dark comedy game where you play as the villain, outright destroying the (former) heroes. If I recall correctly, this game came out when many games were doing that "Good vs Evil player character" thing; Shadow the Hedgehog, Infamous, Prototype, etc. In those games, you would choose if the character was a hero or a villain. In this game, you ARE the villain.

Well... yeah, you are the villain, but you are still given choices to be either heroic or villainous; such as deciding whether to keep the food supply for yourself and the Minions or return it to the starving villages of Spree, save the huge sack of gold and doom the elves to extinction or save the last female elves but loose the gold. So by the end, you can be outright evil, or just a heroic guy who's supposed to be evil.

However, the game isn't perfect. It's rather heavy on the bloom and the Overlord's attacks are awkward and stiff. And I don't know if this is just me, but I sometimes had issues with Minions getting stuck behind walls and not coming out until I leave the section.

The game can also be somewhat punishing and overwhelming with managing different minions at once, especially in the early game. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often and you can sort of get used to it after a while.

I wasn't exactly sure how to place this in the main article, but you also get a "Mistress". Early in the game, you meet Rose, a human woman who's all about order and balanced, but is responsible and compassionate. Later, you meet her sister, Velvet, who is sultry and seductive, but only cares about money, wealth, and status. You can only pick one and depending who you pick, they'll upgrade two of your Minions.

I also want to mention that there are upgrades you can get. At the start of the game, you're pitifully weak in terms of both damage and defense, so you'll be relying heavily on your Minions when it comes to combat while you either stay out of the fray or just provide minor support. But by finding certain "Objects", you can increase your health and mana. Not to mention there's an Object that increases your max Minion Horde. You start off with only 5 minions (automatically going up to 10 very early in the game), but with enough Objects, the maximum raises to 35.

You can also craft and upgrade your weapons, armor, and helmet via the Forge. There are three different Smelters, each one making stronger gear. And depending on which Minions are sacrifices, those gears get certain buffs, with the exception of the helmets, of which all minions increase the Minion Horde size. For example, sacrificing Brown Minions for the weapon will increase the base damage, while sacrificing Green Minions will increase the Critical Hit damage.

I'm gonna tell you right now, just go with Browns for armor and weapon. Like I said, the helmet gives Horde size, no matter what Minions you sacrifice.

Also, the game got a DLC add-on known as "Raising Hell", which takes place immediately after the main game, in which the Overlord finds himself in the Infernal Abyss, which is basically Hell. When the game was ported to the PS3, the DLC was included as part of the release.

All-in-all, I say give it a try. As I said before, it's available on Steam, as is the Raising Hell DLC and the sequels. Well, with the exception of Minions (a DS game) and Dark Legends (Wii game). The last game in the series was Fellowship of Evil which... wasn't all that good. It was released in 2015, and there hasn't been a new game since. So yeah, Overlord 1 and 2. Ignore Fellowship of Evil.

Speaking of which, Overlord 2 does improve the gameplay, you're more overtly evil (the choices now being just what kind of evil are you), better combat, better comedy, and more personalities; especially from the Minions.

Well, I'll see you guys next month. And remember, evil always finds a way!

What I Learned From Kevin #89

“...No matter what, if there weren’t religion, or there weren’t other reasons to fight each other, we’d find something. Like, they’re fighting each other over height at the moment.”

- Overlord but even in this game, I am too evil

Overlord

Overlord is a game released in 2007 by Codemasters, where these gremlin things called Minions (I wish I could have played this game before my mind was rotted by Despicable Me) dig you up from their grave and decide that YOU will be their evil overlord from now on.

This game is a lot like Pikmin, carry around your horde of tiny creature things, and then have them do things. Pick things up, slaughter the wildlife, push buttons, get places you can't, the usual variety. They even sprout up out of the ground similarly.

Something nice I liked about Overlord was how they interacted with NPCs, unlike Pikmen there are quite a few villages filled with other people. These people interact with you and your minions, one may be a little sad after one of your minions break their pot to steal whatever from within, or may be annoyed by a minion screwing around with them. Also how they react to you will give you an idea on how you stand morally, which is a system I have kind of mixed feelings on.

There is a morality system in Overlord, which I've been told is similar to Fable, although I cant speak on that myself cause I've never played Fable. Kill villagers, steal their shit, you get worse. Be kind to them, don't grind their villages to dust for the fun of it? Good path... I think it would fit the game better if it weren't "You're good or you're evil" and instead have it be more like "You're lawful evil or chaotic evil", you're the evil overlord after all. Why would you act good out of nowhere? Instead of becoming a hero to the village and bringing them a new era of greatness, keep the village in juuuuuuust good enough shape so you can extort everyone who lives there for all the money you could ever want. Or just bulldoze the place if you feel so inclined.

Back on topic, your goal in this game is to kill all of the Heroes, who have gotten corrupt over the years. Which sort of works like killing two birds with one stone, get rid of the good guys AND the evil competition.

For a game made in 2007, it runs very well on modern PCs, I had practically no issues with crashing, and it ran smooth as butter. The game can be a little repetitive at points, and can seem a little hard to navigate. But for 5$, 2$ on sale (Steam prices) you cant really go wrong.

wow i black out for some hours and when i finally regain consciousness i rise to see METROID PRIME 4 and METROID: SAMUS RETURNS!!!!

this probably means i died today from either a heart stop or an embolysm while i was out but i actually don’t see any drawbacks to this situation

hmmm... death is quite different that i thought. at least i got the fabricated world part right and died on sleep

A short gameplay video from OVERLORD 2, on Xbox. Original footage was about 1 hour and 30 minutes long. 

Overlord II is an action role-playing game, sequel to the 2007 video game Overlord, developed by Triumph Studios and published by Codemasters for Linux, Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. 

Continuing the style of the series, players take the role of the Overlord, a mysterious warrior whose goal is to destroy or conquer the land by commanding hordes of small creatures known as "Minions". The story directly follows the events of the first Overlord game, with the succeeding Overlord rising to power opposing a Roman-styled military power known as the "Glorious Empire". The story was written by Rhianna Pratchett and maintains a satirical tone and dark humour towards the fantasy setting and genre.

#OVERLORD RAISING HELL GAMEPLAY SERIES#

Normally, they'll just trail along behind you like good little minions, but you can also take control of them by using the right stick. These abyssal areas are different from most other areas and are filled with more evil and dastardly monsters - but conquering worlds and demonic planes is all in a day's work for any self-respecting evil overlord.Īs well as controlling the Overlord, you also get to control your minions in Overlord: Raising Hell. Where the extra content from the Raising Hell missions comes in is mainly in the form of an added-on Abyss to each land that needs conquering too. Even with the addition of extra content in the form of the Raising Hell add-on, the game still remained a sleeper hit.

#OVERLORD RAISING HELL GAMEPLAY PC#

Overlord was released in 2007 for the PC and Xbox 360 to reasonable acclaim but despite this appeared to be a game that hovered outside most peoples' game-dars. Imagine my surprise, then, when a game turned up on my desk that I'd heard very little about. It's not even possible to assume that a game will be good because it's written by a particular developer, since most have a bastard son of a game that they'd rather keep hidden in the basement. The problem is that most games these days are surrounded by some level of hype, however small, and it's becoming more and more difficult to sort out the decent games from the not so decent games. We've written in the past about how hype can damage a game's reception and about that creeping fear of dread when an over-hyped game lands on your desk for review. Your word is law.Overlord: Raising Hell Publisher: Codemasters Get in the action and become the Overlord, the all powerful dark lord with a horde of minions to command and a land to conquer.Ĭonquer a twisted fantasy world and show the Seven Heroes, demonic Halflings, and Rabid Unicorns who's boss.Ĭontrol a horde of slavish and loyal minions as they smash, destroy, kill and steal anything for you.

However it's not just the fallen heroes that have been dragged into the abyss: the Overlord's newly loyal peasants have also been taken down into hell too. Access to each abyss is via a portal, which opens once a kingdom has been successfully conquered and the previous ruler banished to a personal hell within.

However, with incredible power at your disposal and a team of evil-minded impish critters, the Minions, on hand to do your bidding, how will you resist the temptation to be wonderfully despotic?ĭelve deeper into the Overlord's twisted world as Overlord: Raising Hell opens up a series of hellish new levels, each a twisted, corrupted version of the five major kingdoms: Mellow Hills, Evernight, Heaven's Peak, the Golden Halls, and the Ruborian Desert. You could be a regular Overlord who only overlords during banking hours. In the game's seriously warped fantasy world, you’ll become the Overlord and find out for yourself whether absolute power corrupts absolutely. Get in touch with your despotic side in Overlord, the twisted fantasy action adventure where you can be evil (or really evil).

Codemasters, Project CARS'ı geliştiren stüdyoyu bünyesine kattı!

GRID’i geliştiren Codemasters stüdyosunun Slightly Mad Studios’u 30 milyon dolar karşılığında satın aldı. İlk kez GamesIndustry.biz sitesinde yer alan bu haberde Slightly Mad Studios’un Project CARS oyunun yapımcısı olduğuna da dikkat çekildi.

Daha çok yarış oyunlarıyla ilgileniliyor

Yarış oyunlarına aşina olan takipçilerimiz Codemasters’ı mutlaka daha önceden duymuşlardır. Aralarında Dirt, F1, Micro Machines ve TOCA serisinin de olduğu birçok yarış oyununu geliştiren stüdyo son dönemde başka türlerde yapımlara imza atmasıyla biliniyordu. Yarış kategorisi dışındaki bu oyunlardan bazıları ise Operation Flashpoint, Overlord ve Rise of the Argonauts olarak sıralanabilir.

Satın alma sürecine ilişkin bazı detaylar da gün yüzüne çıktı. Buna göre Slightly Mad Studios bünyesinde çalışan ve Project CARS’ı geliştiren tüm personel doğrudan Codemasters’a transfer edilecek ve işlerine yeni şirket çatısı altında devam edecekler. Bu satın almayla Codemasters’in elini çok güçlendirdiğini söyleyebilmek mümkün.

CEO’dan açıklama gecikmedi

Codemasters CEO’su Frank Sagnier konuya ilişkin basın mensuplarına verdiği demeçte Slightly Mad Studios’la işbirliğine gitmekten ötürü çok mutlu olduğunu dile getirdi. Yeni imzalanan anlaşmanın ardından yarış kategorisindeki oyunlarla ilgili çok daha güzel gelişmelerin meydana gelebileceğini de müjdeleyen Sagnier, stüdyonun halihazırda var olan projelerine aynen devam edeceğinin de altını çizdi. Ayrıca kendisi “Kaliteden ödün vermeden, tutkulu bir biçimde yarış oyunları geliştirmeye devam ederken Slightly Mad Studios’u satın almak bizi sektörün global lideri haline getirebilir. Her iki şirket de kaliteli insan kaynağına ev sahipliği yapıyor ve mükemmel işler çıkartıyor” diye de ekledi.

Elde ettiğimiz bilgilere göre stüdyo öncelikle Project CARS’ın mobil versiyonu olan Project CARS Go’yu geliştirme sürecinde. Ardından bir Hollywood filminin oyununun çıkması gündemde. Şuan için bu oyunun hangi filmin olduğu bilinmiyor.
