Overlord Review

Eurogamer brings us one of the first online reviews of Overlord, handing out an overall score of 8/10 to Triumph Studios’ RPG/strategy hybrid.

Overlord may remind the more experienced gamer of a mass of things, but it’s only so identifiable as they’re conventions which relatively few games have used successfully. And when a few quick clicks send a spindly-limbed wave heading over to cause havoc, it’s its own thing. As much of a monster as you are, when you see a powerful succubus flying through the air, covered by your little green guys, holding on with one hand and stabbing desperately with the other, you end up feeling… well, a little parental.
