Overlord preview/video (3/22/07)

I hadn't even heard of this game until now. It does sound intresting.


Sort of a evil version of Nintendo's Pikmen

Additional minion types that we got to see in action during our demo included red "fire" minions who were resistant to fire and could launch flaming projectiles at enemies, and green "poison" minions who were resistant to poisons and had a penchant for climbing all over enemies before poisoning them. The different types of minions reminded us of the titular pikmin in Nintendo's popular GameCube game, and we weren't surprised to learn that the two games' control schemes have more than a little in common with each other. The default setup on the Xbox 360 controller will see you controlling the overlord and the minions with the left and right analog sticks, respectively, and when you're ordering your minions around you'll use the right shoulder button to determine how many of them you'll send to a particular location, item, or enemy.
