Overlord is a groundbreaking action adventure, set in a seriously warped
fantasy world, launching for PC and as a console exclusive for the Xbox 360™
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil,
long-dead Overlord, the player emerges, near death, from the ruins of the old
Overlord’s Dark Tower. 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! Played out with
plenty of black humour and dark irony, the game will immerse players in twisted
parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters.

Overlord’s key innovation 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.
