Tale
Overlord II picks up right where the previous game left off. In it the original overlord is no more, and in his absence the order of things have changed dramatically. The comically evil, but still deadly gremlin-like army known as Minions are lost without a leader to focus their chaotic potential for excellent, ill or both. Yet change finally appears to be in the air. Sensing that something is afoot, the Favorite horde has made its way north to the town of Nordberg. Here they find a male outcome the likes of which has not been seen since the coming of the original overlord. This outcome is obviously special, but time is small and he has much to learn. In recent days a new potential has arisen, known as the “Glorious Empire.” Based in Roman-like legionary tactics, the potential of this new enemy is being used to take over all the relinquished territories of the ancient overlord, and to extinguish all the magic in the land in order to weaken all potential enemies. As the new overlord it’s your task to gain all the strength and skills you can, utilize the potential of the Favorite horde and take back what is yours.

Gameplay – Ruin or Dominate
Overlord II features a groundbreaking new corruption system that empowers players to enact their evil will owing to either domination or destruction. Play as a dominating overlord and villages and people will fall under your command with rewards and benefits coming over time. Follow a destructive path, obliterating anything that stands in your way, and you’ll become a demonic lord of chaos. The choice is yours.

Manage Your Minions
Effective control your Minions was a huge part of Overlord, and in Overlord II all four varieties of Minions return smarter, deadlier (and more amusing) and are ready to fight in large scale battles that will see their wild pack mentality squaring up to the organized legions of the Glorious Empire. As in the previous game, they’ll do anything and everything their overlord commands of them, especially now that they can run, ravage and wreck buildings and scenery and each have their own specialty in combat; Browns are the main general use soldier units, Reds with their fire-throwing ability are useful for long-range combat, Greens are experts at secrecy drills and Blues grant support and healing to other Minions. In addition, they’ve also learned a powerful new skill, how to ride. Three of the four kinds of Minions feature exclusive mounts: Browns on wolves, Greens on giant spiders that can climb parapet and the Reds on salamanders. Atop their mounts these merry fighters are quicker, and stronger than ever before.

Multiplayer Options
By the side of with a robust release player campaign Overlord II features a wealth of multiplayer play options. Players will delight in four unique multiplayer campaigns in co-op and versus modes both online and offline, each with their own unique maps. These include:

• Co-op Modes:
  • Arena Survival – Two players, both as overlords with their own Minions, help each other stay alive as they battle against wave after wave of enemies coming at them in an arena setting.
  • Kill A General – Two players, both as overlords with their own minions, go owing to a series of lands together on a mission to kill a Glorious Empire general.
• Versus Modes:
  • Treasure Hunt – Two overlords and their favorite armies square off against each other to collect gold and other treasure. Whichever overlord has the most treasure at the end of this timed contest wins.
  • King Of The Hill/Capture The Flag – Two overlords and their minions face each other on a battlefield with several hills with flags on top of them. Whoever captures the most flags at the end of this timed event is the winner. Creatures from the overlord world are also on the battlefield wreaking havoc adding an even greater challenge to victory.

Laughter on the Battlefield
Written by award-winning sports meeting novelist, Rhianna Pratchett, Overlord II puts the laughter into slaughter and continues the series’ trademark humor, playing on the prankish physical comedy of the favorite’s antics with a sprinkling of parody for excellent measure.
