The player commands the Overlord with the joystick and commands the Minions by pointing the Wii remote. The latter requires the player to press the B -button to send them. The A -button orders all of the minions to return when it is held down while tapping the A -button will only order a few minion to return.
The Overlord can attack with his weapon by pressing the Z -button on the nunchuck or by swinging the nunchuck. The minions can, after reaching a certain point, be picked up from the group and shaken for suicide bombing, or for fun as long as you do not shake them too much; the Browns explode with huge impact, the Reds burst into flames which ignites all enemies within range, the Greens minions explode leaving behind a poisonous gas cloud, and the Blues enhance all minions within range with the ability to auto-resurrect when they are killed.
Furthermore, the player can click the A -button on minion spawn pits after unlocking the appropriate minion hives in order spawn minions of the corresponding colour. The different minions and spells can be selected with the d-pad of the Wii remote. There can only be one spell selected for the up button on the d-pad at one time, though.
These must be unlocked by collecting certain relics. Rather than a port of the original video game to the Nintendo Wii console, Dark Legend was designed completely from scratch to allow a native Wii gaming experience and so the controls have to be redesigned to allow the players to control the character using the Wii remote.
The player does not control the unnamed Overlord character from the original game a hero turned evil but rather a "young, new Overlord" dubbed "trainee tyrant" who is "able to take his growing pains out on the local fairy tale inhabitants as he protects his castle and lands". According to Dean Scott in an interview with IGN, there are many references to the old game even if the new game does not directly share anything in common with it.
The goal, Scott continues, is to establish "the idea that there have been a series of Overlords throughout time". According to Codemasters, the Wii remote allows new, unique control mechanisms such as "pluck[ing] a minion from the horde, hold[ing] him by the neck and shak[ing] him around".
Furthermore this allows the minion in question to be imbued with power from the Overlord and to turn him into a missile to be sent to explode within enemies. The minions themselves are the same four types as were used in the original game Browns, Reds, Blues and Greens but they have gained new abilities, some of which are, according to Scott, "themed around bodily functions that childish folk like us find hilarious".
Dark Legend features a completely new story line, with new characters and locations. The story will be written by video game writer Rhianna Pratchett daughter of famous British novelist Terry Pratchett who also wrote the story for Overlord. Overlord: Dark Legends follows the story of one of the previous Overlords. On his sixteenth birthday, a young prince receives a mysterious gauntlet from the castle's chef as a present that has been kept in storage till his birthday.
Dark Legend is set before the events of Overlord , and tells the story of the First Overlord named "Lord Gromgard " in-game , whom Minion Master Gnarl approached as a child, informing him that on his sixteenth birthday, his destiny would be fulfilled. As the years passed, the kingdom suffered many problems in the form of blights, poor crop harvests, Halflings taking the local food, bandits stealing from the populace and wolves eating or destroying what was left.
Desperate to reclaim his fame, the Overlord's father, the once mighty Duke Gromgard, set out on a quest to acquire some of his lost assets, only to return with nothing and to find his wife, Duchess Gromgard, had run off with a rich and strong nobleman from a neighboring kingdom.
The Duke would later set out on yet another quest to reclaim his fortune, leaving Lord Gromgard with his extremely unpleasant older siblings, Lord Grenville and Lady Gerda a reference to Cinderella. On his sixteenth birthday, Lord Gromgard receives a present from Rollick, the castle's chef and the young lord's only friend, which contained a mysterious gauntlet that had been kept in storage till his 16th birthday.
While his brother and sister are away, Lord Gromgard uses the gauntlet to open the sealed door to the throne room, finding the Castle Heart and the Overlord armour of that once belonged to his uncle, the mysterious Black Baron his predecessor and possibly the First Overlord , awaiting someone to take up the Mantle of Overlord.
After the armour has attached itself to the young lord, Gnarl , the minion master, awakens and tells the young lord, that he has been asleep waiting for him to take up his role, and begins instructing him in the ways of the Overlord. As a start to his reign, Lord Gromgard's first task is to take control of Castle Gromgard while his elder siblings are away, the new Overlord tearing apart their rooms with help from some Brown Minions , before repelling a Halfling infestation, sending them running to the woods, only for them to set fire to Castle Gromgard, with Rollic and Gnarl trapped inside.
In order to douse the flames and save his castle, the Overlord fights past countless halfling scouts, swordsmen, and rocklobbers, and retrieves the Red Minion Hive, returning it to the castle and routing the remains of the Halfling invaders. He later learns, from Rollic, that the halfling uprising had been instigated by the family jester , Jinks ,who challenges Lord Gromgard in the courtyard with his 'Contraption of Doom', a pumpkin-launching makeshift tank.
Lord Gromgard destroys the contraption, the explosion sending Jinks flying over Castle Gromgard. His hat and staff are later picked up by a Brown Minion, who quickly takes Jinks' title as the castle jester. Learning that his servants fled during the battle, taking the castle's forge with them, the Overlord sets out to explore his farmlands in order to reclaim it.
He encounters the village of Meadowsweet , where he learns that his former servants were robbed by bandits, the villagers promsing to allow him entry if he deals with the bandits. Promises exchanged, Lord Gromgard sets out to retrieve the castle forge, which has fallen into the hands of the Black Flame Bandits, a notorious group of bandits which Gnarl is familliar with. Overlord for the wii is a very enjoyable game for the platform and with impressive visuals.
Just play it and don't listen to the critic. Just play. And the, if you want to critic the game just do it, but after play it. Overlord Dark Legend. I love some of the features were really good and Hmmm. I love some of the features were really good and the series was genuinely funny.
However some of the gameplay was unfair and just frustrating. Also this series seemed to be stuck between being a dark comedy and being more kid friendly. The latter category is where this instalment in the series falls. It has greatly simplified the formula of the original two games. There's only one form of minion life juice Which I actually kind of like. There's no mistresses I assume to make it more kid-friendly.
No real castle or Overlord customisation. Also sadly the only remaining minions are Gnarl and sort of the Jester No Giblet? Also sadly they removed the interesting Minion gameplay from Overlord 2. This game is a prequel interestingly and it sometimes taps into that potential but not enough. I did like how the humour was based around twisting fairytales. So basically this is a stripped down version of Overlord which tries to be more kid-friendly and sadly removes most of the minion personality.
So it just gets a recommendation for the solid gameplay. Pretty good game, childish, cartoony looks didn't destroy it. It was temporarily amusing. The minion's lines were amusing most of the time Pretty good game, childish, cartoony looks didn't destroy it. Gameplay itself was solid, controls were great once you get used to them. Short game, but long enough to make it worthwhile to play. I found it quite enjoyable for a cheap simple game. Felt like a watered down "kiddy" version of overlord 1.
It has nice controls for sure but is basicly overlord for retards, no longer do you Felt like a watered down "kiddy" version of overlord 1. It has nice controls for sure but is basicly overlord for retards, no longer do you have to collect armor, you just have to use the forge. No longer do you have a good or evil choice, its linear and no decision you make has any outcome whatsoever on the ending.
No replay value whatsoever. And gold, don't get me started on gold. What use is it? I can't decorate my castle, I can't buy nice things for my mistress All and all I beat this game in 2 days and shelved it.
Overlord series takes the stage on the Nintendo Wii to take control of the control set up and offer a Pikmin like experience while Pikmin 3 Overlord series takes the stage on the Nintendo Wii to take control of the control set up and offer a Pikmin like experience while Pikmin 3 is no where to be seen.
For the most part the game works. It gives you a world to explore, missions to do and a control scheme that works quite well. The problem is that the game feels half done. Controls of the Overlord and the minions work good, but as you venture deeper into the game you notice several glitches. I experienced 2 game freezes, one of the bosses froze and another fell through the geometry of the level!
After the final boss the game just ends. That's it. Just when the story gets going it ends. On top of that the game doesn't give you much info on the Forge Upgrades. What suit is better? I had tons of money to afford everything by the time I was done the 3rd boss battle. It was easy, yet fun if the game didn't crash or glitch out. If you need a Pikmin-esque game for cheap, pick this one up
