And to think that Climax Studios either make games that are hit or miss and Overlord: Minions is certainly a huge miss. If they only polished this game and capitalized on the positives, they could have made a great puzzle adventure-type of game. They didn’t invest all that much in creating an Overlord game focused on handheld gaming, but hey, at least they tried.

This game is a poor attempt just to say that the series tried to make its way to the handheld platforms, although they have a bright future to keep going. The touch-screen controls are hell-bound, according to some players who played this game on the DS.
For a puzzle game, Overlord: Minions is pretty decent but some games that came out on the Nintendo DS are either ways to raise funds or try their luck on the handheld gaming market, seeing if something clicks for the casual audience. Overlord: Minions is a puzzle game of all sorts, and to sum it up: It is a spin-off game made by Climax Studios and is published by Codemasters themselves. But will it revive this sinking game series? Who knows? Maybe it won’t be that bad.ĭeveloper Climax Group, Climax Studios Release Date JPlatforms DS
But the new game is in the works, anyway. The frustration you will feel when playing this game makes you want to break your controller, and a franchise being under new management is a factor in the game’s death too. It is flat and boring, the Diablo-style of gameplay didn’t suit well, and you’re better off napping and playing Diablo itself rather than playing this hot pile of garbage. But they just announced that there will be a new Overlord game, so the battle is not over yet. And yes, this game put a nail in the coffin of the Overlord franchise. But the results? Maybe being not too vocal about the game is a pretty fair choice, after all. When it was announced back then, people were anticipating for Overlord to be on newer platforms. The final game in the franchise is something you cannot follow up with especially of how horrible it is. When Metacritic scored this game a 33%, that’s where I had skepticism if the game was really that bad or if it is just a victim of poor reviews and lazy journalism. Released on October 20, 2015, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil has to be the worst game to ever came out from the series due to how it was cheaply done.
