ABOUT OVERLORD

Developed by Triumph Studios, Overlord is a groundbreaking action adventure, set in a seriously warped fantasy world. Played out with plenty of black humour and dark irony, the game will immerse players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters.

Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord. Only the player’s actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it’s all down to how much of a bad ass they want to be in order to succeed… evil or really evil.

Overlord’s key play mechanic is the introduction of an array of impish creatures – the Minions. They believe you are the old Overlord reborn and will use their unique skills to fetch, fight and die for you. Throughout the game players will actively control a horde of these gremlin-like critters and they’ll follow your every instruction no matter how despotic or, for the Minions, life threatening it is.

Looks rather fun - the one thing I didn't glean was how you play? First/third person or overview?

Im assuming this plays out as some kind of RTS? Sounds interesting and graphics wise look great.
