Quantcast



Overlord Dark Legend takes place before the original Overlord, but the premise remains the same. Take control of Minions and cause havoc across the lands. The Minions are under the control of the Overlord and will do anything to please their master, even if it means killing themselves for the master.

Since this is the Wii, there will be motion specific controls such as using the Wiimote to point at an enemy to use a magic spell. The Wiimote is also used to pick up Minions, shake them and then let them be on their way as a cute little suicide bomber. Overlord Akbar!

If you do anything today, make sure to watch this trailer. The song is actually catchy and there’s a quick shot of a hilarious Mexican Minion.

Mexican minion was great, but the giant gingerbread men stole my heart

Looks alright, but I'm still just going to get Overlord 2 over this.

Two- I played both at NY CC. Overlord II looked better and had pandas, but in every other way, Overloard Wii was more fun.

I have no idea why, but this reminds me of pikmin.

And all of a sudden, I want this game. Reminds me of Gremlins (not just the way they look, but the singing along with the music).
