The quirky voice-work and actions of the minions can also be very funny. These critters animate superbly well, entertainingly so, as they pull huge Yeti’s apart and ransack buildings with fury. Commanding your minion hordes to kill, maim and destroy everything in your path can be extremely satisfying.
Each group has its own unique abilities and can therefore be used tactically to take advantage of their strengths. The strategic layer to the gameplay in Overlord II comes in the form of controlling four minion types, or classes: brown fighters, green assassins, red archers and blue healers. With the Glorious Empire currently in control and on the hunt to destroy anyone who shows any sign of possessing magical powers, the Overlord sets his organized legions of minions to scupper their plans and take over the Netherworld. Steeped in black humor, and with tongue firmly planted in cheek, this action/strategy hybrid once again puts you in control of an Overlord, the son of the previous Overlord no less. It will come as no surprise that the gameplay in Overlord II, the sequel to Codemaster’s fantasy adventure, is identical to its predecessor, though a few new features and enhancements make it more than just a glorified expansion pack. As an Overlord you have just one objective in life: to rise to power, accumulate wealth beyond your wildest dreams and destroy anything that stands in your way. In the role of their incredibly evil master you can order these horrible little critters around to carry out all sorts of wicked deeds on your behalf. Thankfully in Overlord II, you don’t need to fear these nasty creatures because you’re their boss.
They’ll quite happily stab you in the back, ransack your house, urinate on your head and then run off cackling in delight at their evil deeds. These horrible Gremlin-like critters have appalling manners, dreadful attitudes and a serious problem controlling their violent tempers.
You wouldn’t want to come face-to-face with a minion.
