This only happened in the 360 version during the most chaotic battles where your forty minions were fighting off dozens of enemies.
There were many times when playing this that a rather fair bit of lag and frame rate stutters occurred. Graphically and audio this game is almost identical to the Xbox 360 version which makes a few things quite baffling.
This makes it quite a bit different from the main game and a rather nice change of pace. Even the final boss of the expansion is a puzzle boss. There's combat in there and it's generally incredibly hard, just like you'd expect from the expansion but it's clearly not the main focus. These areas are basically really big puzzles that have you fighting your way to a stone idol that will grant you control of that Abyss. These are drawing in the peasants of the land and it's up to you to rescue them. This adds a good six to seven hours of gameplay in the form of several Abyss dimensions that are opening up all over the land. The most substantial addition to this package is the inclusion of the Raising Hell expansion. This game is in dire need of an actual map as well as a useful mini-map, the one in this game is little more than a glorified compass and not very useful much of the time. A mini-map that isn't terrifically helpful when trying to navigate around. The only noticeable one is the addition of a mini-map.
OVERLORD RAISING HELL REVIEW PS3
The downloadable content is more or less a bunch of maps to try and spice up the woefully threadbare and disinteresting multiplayer content as well as a split screen option for some local competitive multiplayer games.Įxclusive to the PS3 version of the game are a few, mostly minor, changes. You get all of the downloadable content available on Xbox Live included in the package as well as the Raising Hell expansion. The changes made to the game in this PS3 iteration are, for the most part, very minor. It just means you want to see them worshipping the ground you walk on instead of living in constant fear of you.
Just because you're giving a city back the food that was stolen from them doesn't mean you're doing it because you like them. It's much more accurate to say you can be totally evil or just kind of naughty. As a self-serving evil Overlord you don't really do goody two shoes type things too often. While the gameplay may have been referred to as having a good and evil element earlier this isn't entirely accurate. Even something as simple as sending them to retrieve a potion from a far off location has them come back and present it to you in a pose that shows just how much they worship you. It is highly unlikely that you will ever tire of sending your Minions to assault some fool who dares to attack you as they yell out "For the Overlord!" at the top of their lungs. Each type of Minion has their own specialty but all are useful to some degree… and good for a laugh. Initially starting off with just your standard brown Minions you will soon gather red, green and blue ones. First are your Minions and the second is the good/evil gameplay choices that are particular to this game. There are two things that stop Overlord from being just any other fantasy based game and these are almost immediately noticeable. Starting off by fixing up your impressive tower you will eventually hunt down the seven heroes who killed your predecessor and remind the world of just who you are. Awoken from your sleep by your faithful Minions you are armored up and let loose on an unsuspecting world. You will step into the shoes of, you guessed it, the Overlord. Have you ever played a game and, while being asked to save a town, wished you could just pillage it instead? Are you sick of all those fawning peasants who are constantly asking for you to gather up their chickens for them? Ever wanted to see some poor village girls scantily clad and cleaning your tower? Stop playing all those traditional goody two shoes games and start playing Overlord, one of the most original action-adventure games to come out for any console in quite some time.
