Overlord Q&A

The Armchair Empire has posted a short Q&A with Overlord co-designer Rhianna Pratchett about the game’s humor, special abilities, multiplayer support, and more.

Q: Beyond controlling minions, what sorts of special abilities will players have in the game?

A: The player/Overlord will have their own upgradeable weapons and armour, so they’ll be able to attack creatures independently of their Minions – although their Minion horde is their most powerful weapon.

They will have their own set of spells too. Some of the higher level spell will vary dependent on how evil.or how really evil they’ve been during the game. Some spells will affect their Minions, such as giving them temporary buffs, whilst others will slow down on-coming enemies, or bring a whole lot of mass flaming destruction to the game world!
