- What sort of stuff will I get to kill? Your main source of victims will come from the brave and highly flammable ranks of the Glorious Empire, a sinister regime that gained power after the fall of the previous Overlord. You'll be hacking your way through entire battalions at a time, but to keep the blood on your sword varied we've also thrown a few Yetis, Elves, villagers and annoyingly cute indigenous species into the mix, just to name but a few. Don't say we never do anything for you.
- I've always wanted to enslave the human race, is this the game for me? You've come to the right place! With the Domination style Overlord humanity, can become your plaything. Village by village, you'll reap the benefits of an unwilling workforce as you drive the Glorious Empire from your lands.
- I'm more of a "watch the world burn" kind of guy, can I still get my rocks off? We've got your pleasure, sir. With the Destruction style Overlord you can ravage the land like a moody Tsunami; razing cities, forests and Imperial camps to the ground just because they looked at you funny.
- What can my minions do? Minions are angry little Swiss army knives of pain: They can ride into battle on wolves and other magical creatures, loot the best weapons from stomped enemies, pillage houses for treasure, operate fearsome war machines, infiltrate enemy camps and polish your armour so thoroughly you'll blind passing wildlife.
- What types of Minions can I rule? This new batch of minions is smarter, faster, deadlier and wittier than the sorry sacks of skin you used to rule. Minions now come in four fantastic flavours: Browns are brutal brawlers that solve their problems with teeth and fists. Reds are the surly artillery who love to play catch, as long as it's with fireballs. Greens are the stealthy assassins. Silent and deadly, like a fart on legs. Blues are no use in a fight but can resurrect fellow Minions who've tried to stop a sword with their face.

Fantastic game! The only bad thing about replaying this game is you have to grind forever to get gold and minion lifeforce.
while the controls can be super clunky and sometimes dont wanna work with you. I remember buying this game from 5below and playing it nonstop. It made me dream of having a goblin army so they can fetch me pizzas and be like "FO YOUUUU MASTERRR" just for that it raises it to an 8/10.
Fun, even today 🙂 But beware of clunky controls. Played it on the steam deck 😲
It is an old game, but fun enough if on sale.
I bought this game because it was $2 and nostalgia. This game is so much better than I remember it being. I never got very far because I was a kid and bad at video games, but now I'm making serious progress and omg this goes so hard.
Not as good as the first game.
5/10 A game with fun theming that is let ultimately let down by clunky controls. Pikmin style gameplay that I would love to see more of though.
SOO MUCH FUN AND SOOO FUNNY
I remember seeing ads for this game as a kid and wanting to play it but not having the means to. Maybe I over hyped it in my head, but after finally playing it as an adult - the game is pretty uninteresting and forgettable.
+
One of my classics.
It's a 2009 game through and through. Story is kinda ass, animations aren't great, graphics are very 2009.
But it is a looot of old-school fun, in a way that isn't made anymore.
Game takes around 10~15 hours to complete, no real achievements, either, but a fun game
Good evil fun!
This sequel makes overall improvements to Overlord I. However, some bugs that can be encountered frequently can really ruin the experience. If you like Pikmin or the original, defintly pick it just be mindful.
the game was great but still annoyed that the game's DLC was never ported to the PC version and the ending still to this day seemed kind of rushed sense we really never got a proper ending to Witchboy's story and no I am not counting the fellowship of evil as canon witchboy was done dirty by the time the game came out but up untill the end of the game it was a great sequel to the first game but as I said earilier Overlord 2 ending seemed really rushed and it like a lot of great sleeper games like overlord franchise it was saddly was killed off once Codemasters was bought up by EA so now the franchise is fully dead because of fellowship of Evil. that and the forging of gear in this game really sucks compared to the first game
very fun
Amazing game, a true classic. I still hold onto hope that a new one will be released one day.
Made back when western video games could still have attractive female characters.
This game is really fun, but I can't recommend it because the Battle Rock DLC was never released for PC, and without that DLC you can't max out your character.
I doubt that will ever change, but if it does I'll update my review.
A Devilishly Good Adventure with Chaos, Laughter, and Lots of Minions
Overlord 2 is the game where you can finally unleash your dark side – and laugh more than you'd expect during a sinister power grab. Here’s my detailed review:
Positive Aspects:
Dark Humor: The game is brimming with dark humor. From the sarcastic comments of the characters to the exaggerated situations you find yourself in – there’s never a dull moment. Who knew being evil could be so funny?
Minion Mayhem: The small but extremely chaotic minions are the highlight of the game. These little devils turn the battlefield into a mess and create unpredictable and often hilarious moments. It's almost like commanding a horde of hyperactive squirrels.
Moral Flexibility: You have the choice to be a little nice (at least on the surface) or completely evil. Both paths are incredibly entertaining. After all, who doesn’t want to know what it’s like to be the ultimate villain?
Harem Dreams: Yes, in Overlord 2 you can actually have multiple women – a dream come true for some, right? Of course, only in the game context. 😉
Interesting Story: The storyline is captivating and provides enough material to keep you interested until the end. It’s fun to battle through the various chapters and become increasingly powerful.
Revisiting Areas: It’s fun to revisit areas to collect everything and truly leave no stone unturned. There's always something new to discover or destroy.
Negative Aspects:
Controls: The controls could be better and sometimes feel a bit clunky. It’s a challenge to maneuver the camera to keep everything in view.
Minion AI: The AI of the minions is sometimes really questionable. Occasionally, they simply don’t do what they’re supposed to, which can be frustrating. But maybe they’re just cleverly disguised?
Buggy Minions: Occasionally, you encounter bugs affecting the minions. This can disrupt the flow of the game when your little helpers suddenly start acting up. But hey, who needs perfect minions?
Repetitive Tasks: Some missions and tasks repeat and can become monotonous over time. A bit more variety would be welcome.
Florian the Elf: This elfin slacker causes more chaos than your minions! Instead of being useful, Florian just runs around spouting poetic nonsense while you do the real work. Sometimes you wonder if he wouldn’t be better off in a Shakespeare play.
Conclusion:
Overlord 2 is a devilishly good adventure that will delight both fans of the first game and newcomers alike. The mix of dark humor, minion mayhem, and moral flexibility makes it an unforgettable experience. Despite minor flaws like the controls and AI, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget. And if Florian the Elf gets on your nerves again, rest assured your minions are there to bring the battlefield back to order.
Rating: 8/10
Feels like a walking simulator. Couldn't get same fun as much as the 1st installment.
Don`t sleep on it
Nice improvements compared to Overlord I
Maps, mounts and guides.
Poor performance in saving and loading, really frustrating!
Crashed after dealing with Borius and I have to replay since opening the gate.
In Everlight reef, I finished two keystones, but the quest progress was reset after I returned to the tower.
Very ugly tower, hope it will be better as the game goes on.
=)
awsome classic games from the 2000s
It's a great game that takes the basics from part one and does everything better.
Timeless graphics, more diversity and some nice additions in the form of vehicles / catapults.
9.3/10
The only thing that they could have left in part 1 is that some things feel a bit grindy. The domination quests, gnome elimination and just gathering gold/souls in general for upgrades feels too slow. It adds a couple of hours to the gameplay, but not hours that I enjoyed spending. Rather just tweak the gold/soul count a bit so you can get decent armour somewhere where it actually matters in the game. I see that a ton of people are using trainers to compensate but it doesn't really add anything to an otherwise awesome game.
this is the perfect game for those, who like to abuse your minions as hell
KIDS II
it says it does not support controllers but it does you just have to go into the settings and change your input to gamepad. also a wonderful game!!!!
I used to play this as a kid and its just as good then as it is now.
Unfortunately, I believe this will be the pinnacle of the Overlord series. This game is amazing and I've beat it multiple times now (also on xbox 360). DO NOT BUY THE FELLOWSHIP OF EVIL. THAT GAME SUCKS ASS.
no controller support really??
its how I remember it just wish there was controller support
I didn't like as much as the first one but was pretty good.
YES YES YES
good
So maybe a decade after playing the first Overlord game and finding it disappointing, I finally tried the sequel. And while I find it a slight improvement, it's still a disappointing experience.
The story is--just kidding, no one cares. There is barely a story, it's not a focus, and that's completely fine. It's a campy little fantasy game and the story is just an excuse for some humor and to explain why you're doing anything at all. That's all I'll say about writing. Also, I will say, the soundtrack is pretty good. Like, better than you'd expect for a game of this size.
So gameplay is where it's all at, and the reason I said both games are "disappointing" is because there is clearly a great idea at the root here. Playing as the evil guy in charge of an army of evil, running around and causing havoc, is a great basis for a power fantasy game. Which doesn't mean the game should be stupidly easy, but it needs to feel rewarding. The problem with both games is that they peak almost immediately and it's all downhill. The first few hours of running around with the basic brown minions and swarming your opponents/destroying their homes is great, and you're also pretty powerful yourself, able to kill things quickly. You feel awesome, but it falls apart after that.
For you, the Overlord, you're just not very strong. You have a basic 3-hit melee combo with your weapon (and you can get new weapons, but there are not stats for any of them, which is frustrating), and you have 3 mediocre spells. As the game progresses, you feel weaker and weaker; you can't even stand up 1v1 against some opponents, and I don't mean big bosses. Even though you sort of look like Sauron from LotR, you definitely don't feel like it.
But that could all be okay if the minions were good, since the whole point is controlling up to 50 little goblins to slash and burn your opponents. And like I said, it starts great with the standard minions, basic browns who are great melee fighters, who swarm over enemies and take their weapons and armor for themselves. Then you get the reds. These seem cool at first, throwing fireballs, but unfortunately, they die in 2 hits and have an incredibly weak melee attack they will often use when you want them to throw fireballs. You can't just tell them to attack, you have to manually place them in position and then lure enemies into range to effectively utilize them, immediately slowing down combat and getting finicky. Then you get the greens, who are basically weaker browns BUT they can do alot of damage if they backstab enemies. Do they do this automatically? No, only if you manually line them up, or in rare cases, dumb luck--they don't try to maneuver around opponents or look for ones with their backs turned to attack. This means, again, more finicky controls, to hopefully get more damage, but if it fails, you'll probably see your greens gets wiped out, as they aren't very hardy. And then you get blues...blues can't fight. At all. They have a 1 in both strength and endurance. All blues do is heal killed minions, if they get to them within like 30 seconds. That's it. The end result here is you basically just rely on your browns for nearly the entire game, with minimal supplementation from the others, mostly the reds. There are no heavies to send in, or skirmishers of some sort, or any other unique, cool, powerful tactics; it's just send in the melee fighters, try to get some reds to throw fireballs if you can, and, late game, maybe get some blues to revive the dead.
That was a long paragraph, but the basic point is that as the game goes on, you feel weaker and weaker. Again, I don't mind challenge, but this doesn't feel rewarding. I want to order in my increasingly-powerful army against increasingly-large odds, then follow behind them and wreak destruction with my magic or deadly axe. Instead, it's more and more about trying to maneuver your reds into a vantage point to hopefully be in range to fireball enemies, then try to control the greens into doing some backstabs, all while keeping the blues back somewhere and only letting them come forward at the end of the fight to heal, while you just keep sending the same browns against the same enemies to do the same thing, while getting more and more cautious about your overlord because he's not that effective and can easily die if you're not careful. This just isn't great. I do like that minions level up with combat, and also can equip better gear, but then they sometimes die so easily that it becomes frustrating to lose your whole, leveled army and have to fall back on inferior forces. Sometimes minions die from random explosive barrels or they will just drown themselves, and so then it's worse that levels and equipment matter, instead of being able to replace them with an identical one.
The puzzle aspect is also very minimalistic and mostly revolves around correctly controlling your minions. Now, to be fair, the AI and controls for the game are actually pretty good when you consider how complex they need to be for the game. That said, they are still imperfect, and you will still be fighting the camera or the controls to solve otherwise incredibly simplistic puzzles. I also think there are alot of limitations just because of buttons; we can really only use so many, and trying to have movement, melee combat, magic, and all the minion controls, that's alot.
Overall, I'd love to see another game like this, but it needs more work. All the minions should be effective in combat, in different ways, encouraging variety. The overlord should be more powerful and fun to use--perhaps a wizard sits in the back shooting lightning or something would be better. The RPG elements could be improved. Overall, let me feel like a legitimate threat, like a necromancer unleashing the hordes of the undead, instead of as a wuss commanding mostly weak goblins who die in 2 hits from an average enemy, who wins only by careful placement, hit-and-run tactics, luring enemies into traps, and other slow and finicky methods. Make this power fantasy game an actual power fantasy.
Easily a perfect game through and through with an intriguing story, awesome gameplay and fond memories of xbox 360 days
If they ever make an Overlord 3, it'll be worth modern day game prices
Overlord 2 is a amazing game that uses strategy action and good humor
greatness
classic.
Nostalgic and fun to play. Best part of the game is your ability to upgrade your base in hell on how you would want your liar to look!
A Classic of it's time and still is today.
10/10
Wish they'd make a third.
Игра отличная, но тех состояние лицензии так себе. На форуме полно незакрытых тем с багами ломающими прохождение. Я так же встретил такой с бесконечной загрузкой, это не дало пройти игру полностью.
Great Game classic like dungeon keeper was. Need a Overlord 3 some day that would be the only con lol.
Game gates game progress behind stealth mechanics that don't work, I've given up on beating this game
Good Good
does not work with steam deck configuration
love it
