What keeps Overlord 2 from being a nonstop giggle-inducing destruction-fest are its finicky controls and obnoxious camera. Subjugating the masses helps you control towns, too, another nice addition to Overlord 2. If you’re in a combat situation, they’ll fight for you, which can come in very handy if you’re running short on minions. They can be tough to chase down, but a quick zap and they’ll fall to their knees in devoted worship. If you’d rather not risk the life and limb of your adorable and faithful minions, you can always put the whammy on humans and get them to be your cannon fodder instead. It’ll cost you some lower-level minions to do it, so it’s definitely a cost/benefit decision, but it helps make the game feel more strategic than simply throwing a wall of anonymous bodies at your enemies. They level up as they fight for you, which makes it even more upsetting when they croak, but you can resurrect them with a quick trip to the graveyard. Your trusty followers aren’t quite as disposable – or forgettable – as they once were.
When a frontal assault won’t work, rely on the greens’ backstabbing ability to see you through, or when all else fails, let the blues use their healing mojo. Pitting reds against a wall of soldiers probably won’t get you very far the better idea is to mount some browns up on wolves and have them go charging in. Browns are strong and make excellent footsoldiers, reds can hurl fireballs, blues can cross water, greens are immune to poison, and so forth.įiguring out which minions to use in which situation is key to solving not just the game’s many environmental puzzles, but also successfully getting through combat. Minions come in four colors – brown, red, blue, and green – and come with individual strengths and weaknesses. Impregnate me! Why? Just why? At least we are hopefully at an end to terrible episodes.Fans of the first Overlord will immediately recognize that much of that game’s structure is intact: Using your Dark Tower as a center of operations, you and your minions sally forth into the world above to cause havoc, take all the good stuff, and basically crush anyone who looks at you funny. It was ruined with the last line from Crusch to Zaryusu. Honestly, this whole four hours to live thing was the first time I felt like I cared about these characters. At the end, before the screen went black, there was a heartfelt moment.
There was only one thing I took issue with. Finally, a return to form from season one. This episode all around was entertaining and solid. There wasn’t any fighting, but the display of power and the random undead like staircase was entertaining all on its own. The Lizard Men scenes being mixed in with Ains and the guardians make for a much smoother pace. When he is truly honest with himself and it’s a reminder of how most of us would probably act in that situation and role. That’s why it is refreshing to see him when he’s alone or hear the dialogue in his head. He is excellent as always playing the confident strong leader. That and it gives a human emotion to it all. He brings the events and everything going forward to light.
One of my favorite things about the Ains character is how an episode feels when he plays a large role in it. How long will this last? Will there come a day when some of his loyal subjects turn on him? Will this series end someday with him having to fight all of his former subjects? Ains Ooal Gown In Full Form My thought was exactly this when his guardians were gathered around praising him after he teleported. This also means that the loyalty of his guardians is not guaranteed. After speaking to his guardians it’s proven that there is room for all of them to grow.
One, in particular, was exactly what I was thinking when he retreated to his bedroom. With Ains return brings many memorable scenes. Last weeks brief appearance doesn’t count, this was finally an episode centered around him. The proper return of Ains was great to see, finally, he’s back in full form. Other than that good news there was plenty of other good things about this episode. Rororo! Lo and behold our favorite snake hydra creature survived the battle! I guess the Lizard Men aren’t as cruel as I made them out to be.
