This helps as you aren’t blessed with a huge amount of life. The different classes really come into their own in the latter part of the game when you can stand on the high ground and use your minions abilities to quickly and easily dispatch with enemies. While the game starts off fairly simple with some puzzles which are hardly apparent and enemies who are easily dispatched with, the strategy soon kicks in when you start to gain control of different colour minions who each have special abilities, reds with the ability to put out fires, greens with a very handy stealth ability and blues who can revive each other and swim. The spells you can cast come in handy but they are not really necessary until later on in the game. You quickly come to realise that in order to succeed you have to take the role of supervisor and make your minions do all the work while you stand around looking as scary as possible. The mini map is also a nice addition as you aren’t left running around like a headless chicken.
From the first moment you enter the world, many things become apparent to you, from the to the mischievous nature of your minions. One of the gripes I had immediately was the fact that you couldn’t manually control the camera and at times are left running in circles to try and get the camera to the view you want.

You are also eased into the controls by a series of tutorials which will have you reeking havoc in no time. When the story begins you are resurrected by a bunch of your minions and off the bat you are introduced to the humorous dialogs that continue for the entire game. While it looks as though the developers really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings trilogy and may have got some of their design characters from middle earth the storyline manages to set it apart from everything else. In overlord you get this chance by taking control of a very Sauron-esque overlord who, instead of searching for little people with furry feet and a ring, takes control of his minions and uses them in an attempt to rebuild his tower while committing some dastardly deeds along the way. Its not very often, the chance comes along to play the side of evil, to see the world from their point of view.
