![]() There is no reason to binge into this game, but if you’re looking to finish all of the games, Overlord: Dark Legend is a must-play.ĭeveloper Triumph Studios, Virtual Programming Release Date JPlatforms Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, LinuxĢ009 might be the most ambitious year for the franchise, and Overlord II is the one that hit the spot on the various titles they have released on June 23rd. Overlord: Dark Legend is a toned-down version of the original grim dark-like entry aimed at the demographic of the console, but they managed to properly aim for an audience this time, unlike the Nintendo DS Overlord title that didn’t live up to what made it famous. And the overall difficulty of the game really compromises the potential that it gives, making it too simplified and shallow. The controls are way too compromised due to the fact that Wii’s controls aren’t meant for RPG games such as Overlord, and the game is relatively short and ends once things get so engaging. See, the game suffers from a limited platform and that is the Wii, and what you get is a bland game with only a few redeeming qualities. ![]() Overlord: Dark Legend is a cool name for an RPG game and all but the game itself is quite the contrary. Overlord: Dark Legend is made by Climax Studios and is released the same day as Overlord: Minions but this time on the Nintendo Wii. But at least this isn’t the game that hurt the franchise’s reputation the most since it wasn’t a mainline entry for the series.ĭeveloper Climax Group, Climax Studios Release Date JPlatforms Wii And to think that Climax Studios either make games that are hit or miss and Overlord: Minions is certainly a huge miss. If they only polished this game and capitalized on the positives, they could have made a great puzzle adventure-type of game. They didn’t invest all that much in creating an Overlord game focused on handheld gaming, but hey, at least they tried. This game is a poor attempt just to say that the series tried to make its way to the handheld platforms, although they have a bright future to keep going. The touch-screen controls are hell-bound, according to some players who played this game on the DS. For a puzzle game, Overlord: Minions is pretty decent but some games that came out on the Nintendo DS are either ways to raise funds or try their luck on the handheld gaming market, seeing if something clicks for the casual audience. Overlord: Minions is a puzzle game of all sorts, and to sum it up: It is a spin-off game made by Climax Studios and is published by Codemasters themselves. But will it revive this sinking game series? Who knows? Maybe it won’t be that bad.ĭeveloper Climax Group, Climax Studios Release Date JPlatforms DS But the new game is in the works, anyway. The frustration you will feel when playing this game makes you want to break your controller, and a franchise being under new management is a factor in the game’s death too. It is flat and boring, the Diablo-style of gameplay didn’t suit well, and you’re better off napping and playing Diablo itself rather than playing this hot pile of garbage. But they just announced that there will be a new Overlord game, so the battle is not over yet. And yes, this game put a nail in the coffin of the Overlord franchise. But the results? Maybe being not too vocal about the game is a pretty fair choice, after all. When it was announced back then, people were anticipating for Overlord to be on newer platforms. The final game in the franchise is something you cannot follow up with especially of how horrible it is. When Metacritic scored this game a 33%, that’s where I had skepticism if the game was really that bad or if it is just a victim of poor reviews and lazy journalism. Released on October 20, 2015, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil has to be the worst game to ever came out from the series due to how it was cheaply done.
