This is a fun, but short, metroidvania game where you get to go throughout all of Nazarick. It's soundtrack is baller and the game has some simple enough formula anybody could play it. If your a fan of the Overlord series this is a fun game to try out! My advice would be to wait till it's on sale as it's base price is a little high for how short it is... -Overall fun game, sasuga Ainz-sama!!

I had fun with this and will play it again my personal sign for a good game is if it is re-playable. i will admit tho what happens to the character you play as is majorly messed up but what i understand about the anime/manga of this character is that she deserves it.

If you enjoy both Overlord and Metroidvania games, then this is a solid purchase. It's far from a perfect game, but it's fun and the writing cleaves very nicely to the original series. However, if you haven't watched Overlord, I would strongly recommend doing so before you play this game. The game just drops you into the middle of one of the climaxes of the first season, with no explanation at all as to what's going on. Pros [*]Beautiful pixel graphics mixed with show-accurate backdrops, etc. [*]Good character dialogue [*]Fun gameplay, especially the platforming [*]Variety of difficulties (not always included in Metroidvania games) [*]Good Soundtrack Cons [*]Feels very Indie, such as having text that is oddly crisp placed over pixel graphics or highly minimalist UI [*]Combat is a bit clunky, between strange hitboxes and attack timing [*]Directional attacks or grappling are both over and undersensitive, leading to somewhat sticky controls [*]Some lore inaccuracies, mostly relevant to the light novels (where abilities are explained in more depth). This is largely not noticeable if you've only watched the anime (or just aren't a huge Overlord nerd). Mixed [*]Rather linear: while there are some locked or hidden areas to go back and explore later, the game itself is very linear for the most part. This makes it good for a more casual experience (or a good entry point into the Metroidvania genre), but loses a bit of the depth of the genre defining games such as, obviously, Metroid and Castlevania. Conclusion I greatly enjoy this game and fully recommend it. Contrary to other reviews, I think this game is worth $30 for the content and length of the game (I'm only maybe 50% done as of writing this review). Combined with replay value in achievements for every difficulty, and the general fun of exploring, you're not buying a small or unpolished game here. I have a feeling that others who judge it as worth less than $30 are basing that solely on its Indie vibe, rather than on the actual length or depth of the gameplay. After all, it's not like this game is $60 or $70 like a major release would be.

It 's a decent metroidvania, a bit hard to understand the map, but overall a decent 10h to finish the game with everything on hard difficulty. My only big complaint is that there's achievements to collect things and finish the game in easy and normal that should automatically count if you do it in Hard.

If you were to ask me about a game for the Overlord franchise I'd not expect a metroidvania game. Still its alright and fun enough for an any% play through so long as you get it at a discount. The game is a bit too linear for my taste and the controls could really use some work. If you like the anime/LN you'll probably like this game, but I'd also recommend to play any Metroid or Castlevania game first.
