![]() Thankfully, the minion AI has been improved for Overlord 2, so you won’t be kicking yourself when your minions drown themselves. ![]() One of the major problems with the minions in Overlord was the fact that they weren’t that intelligent, with blue and red minions getting too close to enemies for comfort and therefore dying too easily. The brown minions are the strongest fighters, though aren’t particularly useful otherwise the red minions throw fire from a distance at enemies though are weak in close combat blue minions can heal dead minions and go through water though prove almost useless in battle and green minions prove to be stealthy fighters though aren’t as tough as brown minions. There are four-types of minions, each of which have their own unique advantages and disadvantages. Minions are your loyal gremlin-like creatures who will destroy, kill or move anything you direct them towards. In fact, Overlord 2 fixes a lot of the issues players will have experienced with the original, especially with minions. For those new to the series, this may sound like such a simple mechanism, though returning players will be overjoyed after the major camera issues witnessed in the predecessor. ![]() Fortunately, there’s one major improvement that comes in the form of the ability to rotate the camera using the right thumbstick. The controls remain the same as those of Overlord, so players of the original will be able to get to grips with them pretty quickly. “It’s good to be bad, but better to be evil.” Playing through the prelude acts is a very good tutorial, and causing mayhem within Nordberg is a great way to get used to the controls. Players meet Overlad just outside Nordberg – one of the game’s big towns – as a young child. Overlord 2 follows on from the Raising Hell downloadable content, rather than the original title’s storyline, in which the minions are in search of a new overlord, coming in the form of Overlad, the previous Overlord’s son. Two years on and the developer, Triumph Studios, have released their second attempt in the form of Overlord 2. One such title was Overlord, which failed to make a big impact on the gaming world when it released in 2007. Every so often you’ll find a title that turns this formula on its head, allowing gamers the rare opportunity to play as the ‘bad guys’. Traditional storylines have proven to be a winning formula within video games, with the antagonists failing to prove victorious against the player-controlled protagonists.
