DESCRIPTION

Mean-streaked tacticians are called upon to fling more minions and raise more hell In Overlord II. Retaining the play style of its predecessor, the game combines the third-person squad management of the GameCube masterpiece, Pikmin, with the wry, good-to-be evil sensibilities of the home computer classic, Dungeon Keeper. The story of Overlord II continues from the first game, as the player assumes the role of the original Overlord's son. Again, the enemy is a civilization known as the Glorious Empire, a great Roman-inspired kingdom that seeks to banish all magic and superstition from the world. Players can choose a path of Domination, ruling mercilessly over the farms and villages of the land and plundering their resources at will, or a path of Destruction, leaving nothing but death and scorched earth in their wakes. Of course, it's actually the Overlord's minions that do all the dirty work....

The sequel expands play with more skilled minions that can perform more tasks, and can work together to operate war machines and sail heavily armed vessels. Minions can also ride wolves and magical creatures into battle. As before, minions are distinguished by their color, and four main types are available in Overlord II. Brown minions take the part of the belligerent infantry; boots on the ground to cause chaos by hand. Reds can set their surroundings aflame in no time. Green minions specialize in stealth, serving as excellent assassins, and otherworldly Blues use magic to heal others and avoid harm. Players can give custom names to their favorite minions, and resurrect them in a special graveyard if they are lost in the line of duty. In places throughout the game, available minions must use their abilities together in order to overcome obstacles and defeat tough enemies. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

@EarthboundX I dislike steams... I do not need a launcher with XYZ capabilities for my games... I do NOT need anything from steam. but I can't run things without it”

“@EarthboundX Steam is a steaming pile of... =P
Honestly, I don't like the fact that I need to install a piece of software to be able to run my games, one that hogs quite a few resources as well. This is the main reason I don't like Steam. EA does the same thing with their online store.

Other than that, I purchased 1 game on Steam and it didn't work, so they told me (6 days after my support request) to go back to the retailer I bought it from, since I was in Russia. I told them that if Canada was Russia, then the US really had their heads up their arse during the cold war. I demanded a refund due to the fact that the Steam version of the game would not launch on my PC, but the boxed version of the same game did. They refunded me about a week later.

Other than that, I hear a few horror stories for Steam versions of games. Makes me avoid it like the plague.”

“@Firedorn Modern warfare 2 NEEDS steam in order to play and it is wuite horrible... I have the PC version from disk. It took me 3 system restarts, file deleting and 3 hours to make this game work. It installs with steams and corrupts some of the game files... when I start the game and it crashes steams just bugs the crap out of my PC. so I need to restart, find the corrupted file and delete it. then I have to do an integrity check so steams download the file... then retry... Then my game crash for another file... same trick, and again.

Should have gone for PS3 Version...”

“I have a feeling STEAM didn't really think the MW2 deal through, with the release and compatible with IW.net but back on topic...

Overlord is an amazing game, i kinda got bogged down with multi tasking and ended up quitting as my critters kept drowning and i sulked. :( ”
