I'm gonna be honest here. As a die-hard fan of Overlord (the Light Novel/Anime), I searched to see if there was any game based on it. Then I came across this one since they both share the same name. At first, I was like, "Damn it." But then I looked at the description, videos, and screenshots on the store page and thought, "Hmm… maybe this could be fun." So I bought it. I finished it with the good ending route (even though I was planning to go for Velvet, but I liked using the brown minions more). Honestly, I played nonstop for 4 days; missed my classes, work, and other important stuff; just to feel like an omnipotent king. I shit you not, this is one of the best games I've played in the last 6 months. (If not for Expedition 33, I would've said the last 2 years.) Maybe there are other similar games out there that are better than Overlord (the game). But for me, this was my first real experience with this type of mechanic where you control minions. Even though the controls sometimes felt kinda janky, this game came out in 2007. Expecting perfection compared to modern games would be stupid on my part. I enjoyed the heck out of it. The story was relatively simple yet filled with dark humor (which I'm really into). And the ending’s final section was great! (Not telling; if you wanna know, just play it.) In the end, I enjoyed the game way more than I expected. And you know what the best part was? It actually felt like Overlord (LN/Anime). Because you're a strong king with loyal minions doing your bidding. If someone like me searched for the Overlord LN/Anime game but found this and got disappointed; just try it out. You don't have to trust a random stranger's review. Just try it for an hour or maybe a bit more. If you don’t like it, just refund it. And this game goes on sale all the time. Right now, it's $2.49 USD for me, and I think I bought it for even less. So it's not expensive at all. Okay, if you're still reading my review, you're just wasting your time. Like dude, COME ON!! Just try it out, okay? And with that, I’ll say goodbye. I'm gonna go buy the sequel now. Overall, it’s a solid 8/10 for me.

Played this game back in 2007 and again now in 2025.Has a very unique command system and a free sense of humour.I believe back then that it was a good game,now i think the same.Give overlord 2 a chance as well.Basically same thing just new graphics and improved customization spells,weapons.Also...here is a prayer for overlord 3 maybe sometime in the future.

This game was my childhood. I dreamt Overlord, I breathed Overlord, I even wrote my first fanfiction in the Overlord universe. I played so many damn hours of this game as a kid that when I saw its release on steam I actually wept. Though I am now an adult and my ability to pay attention to games has decreased massively, I still look back at this title with almost reverence. What is Overlord? Overlord is a game where you play a villain with a army of little demon creatures and go around acquiring power in an attempt to rule (or save depending on your moral choices) the world. Through your adventures you gain new armors, minions, spells and abilities, unlock new lands to explore and conquer, and finally get a girlfriend. Its a ton of fun even to this day (despite me only having around 5 hours of gameplay) and I fully recommend with every fiber of my being that you get this game, you download this game, and that you give it your full attention and see what becomes of it.

Overlord was an awesome little game... though it did kinda feel like it ruined its own premise since the antagonists turned out to be MORE villainous than the protagonist.... so it didn't really feel like you were playing the bad guy. Maybe like.... 1980s cartoon villain vs 1990s dark & gritty villains? Well whatever... I love the humour. SHEEPIES!

Used to play this bad boy on the 360. It would be my comfort game while my parents fought in the background. I remember playing the demo for hours and finally got to go to my local Blockbuster and rent this one out and never return it. Beat the game like 3-4 times. This will be my 4-5th. Game is still as good as it used to be. Wish they would make a 3rd installment in the future.
