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.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.
