Imagine everything that was fun about the original Overlord games. Puzzles, combat, crazy ♥♥♥♥, humor, watching your minions do tons of crap. This game has none of that.

Imagine everything that's fun about top-down real-time hack and slash RPGs, like Diablo and Torchlight. Varied character classes, build variety, metric buttloads of loot, tons of different enemies with different attacks and resistances. This game has none of that.

Imagine everything that's fun about button-mashing combat games, like Devil May Cry. Crazy build possibilities, insane combos, really varied enemies that have to be fought different ways. Guess what, this game has none of that.

Instead, it's a combination of the above three, with absolutely everything fun taken out.

There's 4 player classes, which are barely different at all. 2 melee, 2 ranged. Each one has a fixed progression and a token number of weapons that either give you more minion cubes, or have a chance of minor elemental damage. Basically cosmetic differences, other than the minion ones.

You get 3 attacks, a special attack, a chargeable heavy attack, and a light attack. And you're basically doing all the fighting, since your minions, especially reds and greens, basically do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Even worse, despite the dumbed-down button mashing gameplay, there's absolutely no combo system at all. In fact, it has the opposite of a combo system. The special attack and heavy attack both ragdoll enemies, making them glitch out, bounce around, and twitch, and more importantly, making them immune to further attacks until they get back up. So you can either hold and release B about every 4 seconds (hurts your thumb less), or just mash A (kills most enemies faster). There's absolutely no point in using both attacks.

Speaking of ragdolls, the last time I saw ragdolls this glitchy was in Colonial Marines. Except Overlord: FoE is actually worse. Every single ragdoll twitches like it's having a seizure and glitches through terrain, every single time. The AI is worse, too. It's essentially the norm for minions to endlessly run away from you, teleport back, and run away again, trying to smash some scenery. The greens and reds are essentially completely useless. They almost never attack unless you specifically order them to attack an enemy. If you just press X to summon everyone, they go running in a straight line, nowhere near any enemies, then commit suicide without doing any damage.

The minions aren't even fun to watch or listen to anymore. The animation is utter crap, even in cut scenes. Each minion has about 5 lines, and that's it. "I'm here! Sheepies! I like evil! Fight!" You now know everything the browns will ever say. There's no more looting or other interacting with buildings or terrain. All they do is smash stuff into generic looking rubble (while glitching and teleporting constantly, because their AI can't handle navigating anything, even a wide open square room), and grab stupid treasures that the "treasure goblin" apparently delivers after every encounter.

And the enemies? Elf with sword, big elf with big sword, big elf with sword and shield. A couple bosses, and some flavor enemies that are basically identical to one of the elves (i.e., the big slugs are identical to the big elf with big sword, and the fluffies are identical to the regular elves except weaker). That's all there is. Even the bosses are completely lacking in personality or gameplay interest. They're just a variant on one of the standard enemies, with more HP and maybe a special attack or 2.

Overall, a huge letdown. This game really DOES deserve all the negative reviews. It's neither a worthy successor to the Overlord series, nor is it even a decent game in its own right. It's just plain simplistic, repetitive, boring, and not fun. At least it wasn't priced like an A-lister. $19 isn't bad, but it should be more like $5.

Overlord : Fellowship of Evil, Playthrough- Review
Welp, there is an awful lot of Reviews for this game. Most certainly, it would be an entertaining quest to dig through the mud and find one or two that list something truly good about this game. There are a few things noteworthy that you have to consider before going through this :
1) This is not going to be an usual "hurr durr, its not Overlord III, it therefore sucks" Review. This game IS NOT A SEQUEL to Overlord II, and therefore shouldn't be looked upon as one. IT'S A SPINOFF, and I'm gonna judge it as such.
2) You will find out that most of the guys writing reviews for this game have hardly played two hours. I played THROUGH the entire game. That I ended up with hardly 10 hours nonetheless is a shame, but i will get to that later.
3) I really liked the first two games of the franchise, and was really looking foreward to this game. I really hoped it would be good, and even during playing it, I was really trying to see the good stuff.

4) To the guys that only came here to read about 10 lines, I'm gonna spare you this whole essay and come right out and say it : DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Not full price, not on discount, not even for -90%. When a friend gifts you this, you should ask yourself if he really is your friend, and/or what he is trying to tell you (JK on that part, he probably wants you to join in, so you can suffer together ;). Even if you are a diehard fan of the franchise, and REALLY want to know how the story continues, watch a Let's Play, im sure there are gonna be a few out there.

With that outta the way, let's get started, shall we ? (oof..)

I decided to go with the good stuff first, because it deserves a fair chance.
The game has kept it's humor, the minions are funny little compagnions, always hungry for mayhem, carnage and anarchy. The actor of Gnarl is back, and does a fantastic job. The voice acting is on point, jokes actually make you laugh (from time to time, depends on your humor I guess). The game is witty, humorous and doesnt take itself too serious, just like what we are used to from previous titels of the franchise. They do a good job getting you (kind of) immersed into the story, which is, sadly, nothing new. Not going to spoil anything, but its the usual "bring evil back onto the stage and slaughter all the good guys" deal. Entertaining to some extend, and at least conclusive.
The four different heros really provide different playstyles, and are suited for various situations, which makes mixing them up viable.

This is sadly where the good stuff ends. Usually you will find the Review becoming some guy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about his wasted money now, I'm gonna try to keep that to a minimum. To make it REALLY short : its a bad game concept, really badly put into action. Halfway through the game I felt like someone actually went through all previous Overlord titels and noted down what was good, to make exactly that terrible. Let's get into the detail :

The first thing that comes to mind is obviously the combat. Let's be honest here, the combat system in the franchise never really was a gem, but it worked out, because your minions did most of the work anyways. In Overlord II you had to deploy different combat styles, and even tactics to some extend, to get through the game. The Fellowship of Evil changes this completely : combat = button A. That's the formula the game is based on. Sure, fighting on your own wasnt much different from button-mashing in previous titels as well, but since you are nearly ALWAYS fighting on your own in this game, it gets painfully noticeable. There is no diversity in combat, and dont get me wrong here, I mean NONE. AT ALL. The first enemy gets killed the exact same way as the last. You just hold or press A untill whatever you want to die dies. Some enemys are just "bulletsponges", that take way more hits, but they add no diversity. Bossfights run on the same sheme every time. Sure, its not as dissapointing as the final boss being a quicktime-event, but even the "best fighter for the damned Goodness" battles out the same way some low-end semi-boss from the first chapter did, really ?
Most people will describe the combat as repetitive, it is not. It's anesthetic.

The next big deal are the minions. These little buggers were always a selling point for the previous games, they made a huge part of the overall fun. Someone decided thay have to go a new way with them. A disastrous decision, I may add.
In previous titels you felt a bit like a general, commandig your devoted minions into battle, or setting them up with wait-point to use their unique abilities for maximum carnage. You deployed tactics, cunning, and yes, mostly, brute force to smite your enemies. Your fingerpoint sealed fate, and you truly felt like the mighty Overlord, COMMANDING the forces of pure evil. Guess what, they ruined it. There are no more minion controls. None. Minions are completely controlled by AI. An AI so outstanding, it could a bad example for every other AI. Minions only move in an assigned area around you, making their own decision on which enemy to attack, or which object to destroy. For this, they even overcome basic logic itself. The object they desire to destroy is unreachable ? These minions wont let something as minor as impossibility stop them ! They just keep on running at the map-border or bashing at a floating bottle they can never reach. If you move too far from your minions, they get teleported back to you. Dont let this decieve you, they will just keep running back to whatever they were bashing before. This adds up to some funny occasions, when they constantly run at a table or chair and get ported back to you, just like they are badly lagging. I can really appreciate that kind of humor, it makes you laugh when you should rather cry....
Not only they way YOU handly your minions got idiotised, but the minions themselves as well. Can you recall their abilities from Overlord II ? Greens, as assassins, mighty backstab, extremely powerfull when placed cunningly ? And Reds, giving you the ability to fight enemies from afar ? The kind of minions that promoted tactics, provided diversity ? Well, they are gone as well. Reds are now suicide bombers, Greens strike once and dissapear right after. Sure you could upgrade your Greens, to stay a bit longer in combat. "How?" do i hear you ask ? Through combat experience ? No, that would be way too good, wouldn't it ? You spend some currency on them, to make them somewhat less useless. Oh, and did i mention that all minions die after a set time ? Besides the fact that they nearly borderline no damage at all, this is Your options for combat summed up : hold A till it dies. Done.

Player Progression....ah well. (usually i would go on about you you just grind our currency to get useless upgrades, or the bugs in this game, or the performance issues, or how pathetically short it is, but Steam says I ran out of space, so im gonna end it here >:[. It's buggy, its bad, dont buy it. DIdi i mention they hint a sequel in the end ? Sounds great, doesn't it? )

I hope this was a bit more detailed, therefore more helpfull that the usual "its not what i wanted to i hate it" Review.
Have a nice day lads, and DO NOT BUY this game.

This game is not finished. It shouldn't have been released yet.
Which is a shame, the Overlord games are fantastic. Go buy those instead.
This game is also nothing like Castle Crashers or Baulder's Gate: Dark Alliance despite resembling it at first glance.

Cons (Because this list is longer, it gets to go first.):

-Lots of effects are really bad looking, or feel like they're not working right.
-The movement feels clunky and slow to react, and attacks are slow to fire, triggering on mouse press, AND release.
-The parts of the game that reference past games feel slapped on, and do more damage than good for the game, because they're only references. They serve no purpose.
-The voice acting is horrid at times, this excludes Gnarl, who is and will always be played well.
-While the game makes use of visuals from past titles, many are out of place lore-wise, such as abyss plants or relics being... not in the abyss.
-Hakon is completely unsatisfying to play, and feels broken and nonfunctional.
-Malady's right-click attack is a one shot kill to many enemies. And it pierces. Oh boy, let me just point and win.
-Instakill spikes as hazards exist.
-Menus are unresponsive at the best of times.
-The camera is absolutely awful. You can't move it, it has to encompass all players.
-The players are stuck together because of the camera. Players are force teleported seemingly at random if you wander too far.
-Linear, uninteresting upgrades.
-Minion control is literally nonexistant and world/enemy based.
-No text chat.
-Pop up signs that announce to your already aware self the it's time to fight, or run, or pick up loot. Picking up loot should not be a chore.

The Pros:

-Gnarl
-The characters and world look really good.
-Animations look fluid excluding the fact that you slide to turn.
-Music and atmosphere is good.
-Still has moments of originality.

All in all, sweet unholy hell art team, fantastic job, the game looks great.
Please patch some of the wonky controls and minion and enemy related bugs.
This is currently not worth the money. The game is just not good as a game.

Overlord: Fellowship of Evil takes the classic Pikmin-esque formula of previous Overlord games and throws it out the window for a more dungeon-crawler formula and suffers for it. Oh does it ever suffer.

In Overlord: Fellowship of Evil you are a resurrected evil person with little to no relation to the previous Overlords, with each one having their own unique abilities, spells, and weapons. At first this seems like an ok system, one that would allow for good co-op, but then you realize that it came at the expense of what made the Overlord games good: the Pikmin-esque minions. Now they are mindless AI npcs that cannot be controlled, which given that the levels are littered with stage-hazards that immediately turn minions into enemies and that there is no way to tell them to go around, almost completely ruins the game and what made the previous Overlord games so fun: the minions.

Overlord: Fellowship of Evil made numerous unnecessary changes, some that could have actually potentially worked had other changes not been so completely atrocious in both design and result. Don’t play this unless you are an Overlord completionist, and even then I would still recommend against it.

This game was fun for the first ten minutes, but the fact that I wasn't relying on the minions from the get go to do most of the fighting was a glaring issue, and the combat itself was nothing more than spamming auto attacks until the blues needed to heal me. Codemasters tried to change up the formula, but I don't feel like it's worked out too well. The new characters brought in are also pretty weak, and don't stand up to the ones in previous Overlord titles.

This game takes the Overlord name and steers it in a completely different direction. Instead of the gameplay focusing on solving puzzles with minions you're basically expected to spam the attack until whatever needs to be dead dies, and then your blues heal you. The tutorial level does a piss poor job of telling you what to do and even with changing ZERO presets, I still had to spam key combos until I figured out how to pass the area because the key combos the tutorial presents are wrong. If you loved the previous titles in the franchise, steer clear of this.

Things that made the overlord I,Overlord II and Overlord:raising hell edition, good:

*backstory for the minions and main character

*continuity from the previous game.

*The ability to control your minions almost like a micro-manager.

*Actual development of the storyline.

*Being able to Customise your character and minions slightly, not entirely, but just slightly so you still keep the original face of the overlord.

*Inuitive game mechanics for enemies,as well as good character and backstory for bosses.

Reasons why Overlord:fellowship of evil is a S**t game and is nothing like the previous games:

*No backstory for the characters or minions, you are just dropped into the game.

*No continuity from the previous games,they literally change 90% of the factors from the previous games,New world, new main character with no relation to the previous overlords,it seems the only thing they havn't changed is the minions, and even they have had thier mechanics changed.

*the abolision of minion mechanics, they are now just mindless Npcs that run around and do stuff without your say-so.

*actual development of the storyline, this game gives you a few vague facts to go with for the entire game, these never change and so,no plot twists,no options for the player to make,this all makes foe a very limiting storyline.

*changing the main character,completely.Small changes are good,the overlords from the previous games differed slightly, and things like how thier armour looked could be changed, but the actual overlord himself could not be changed,This game does not allow the character to change the actual Physique and personality of the overlord, No, in fact it takes it one step further, It Gets rid of any connection to the previous overlord, and actually forces you to pick one of the other four new overlords (or NetherGhuls as they are called in the game) which share no backstory of any kind, and in fact look nothing like the previous overlords.

*Outrageously terrible game mechanics,The controls do not function properly,the Enemies are buggy,the minions are buggy,the bosses are buggy.Practically every aspect this game tryed to make seem major, was buggy.Enough said.

All in all,Overlord:fellowship of evil trys to be a diablo-esque dungeon crawler, that even Diablo fans will absolutely HATE.
Why the Overlord team thought this would be a good turn for the francais i can only hope to comprehend,since it was over ambitious from the start.did they expect it to become as popular as, if not more so than Big hit dungeon Crawlers like Diablo?All I can say is this: Overlord Team, You F****d up baaaaaaaaaad.
