Overlord 2 Screenshots: Is That Spider from Mars?

by Chris Faylor, Mar 18, 2009 7:47am PDT

Truly, that spider is not of this world. And frankly, I am determined to rid Overlord II of such a foul, disgusting creature. If I end up dominating the world in the process, so be it.

But ruling the world? Not as easy as you'd think. Creative director Lennart Sas explains:

Overlord II empowers players to enact their evil will in either a dominating or destructive way...For example, if you need to take a boat from one area to the next, are you evil enough to trigger global warming, melt the ice caps, so that you create your own private sea to sail across? Well, are you?

Published by Codemasters, Triumph Studio's strategy-centric action game sequel is slated to hit PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this summer.

Lol Overlord always intrigued me but I never picked it up. The ability to be as evil as possible for a couple hours, then go downstairs for a nice homecooked meal with the wife, I could handle that. :)

I almost always steer clear of strategy games, but that looks pretty interesting. I just don't have the mind for them and usually fall to pieces when put in charge of anything more than my own protagonist / gun / sword / car. So that "strategy-centric action game" spiel has me pretty intrigued.

The art also looks something out of the ordinary after seeing the same Roman / Viking / w/e troops over and over again.

- It's like a really funny/gory version of Pikmin, if you ever played that. : Xevo
- The Overlord demo (previous version) is available on Steam. I recommend it. : Zzap

Even though I haven't completed the first Overlord, I'm really looking forward to this. If for now other reason, because Rhianna Pratchett (Terry Pratchett's daughter) is one of the writers.

I loved the first one and this sounds like they are fixing a lot of gripes people had in the game.

This will probably be a day 1 purchase for me.

If I had to take a boat wouldnt that imply a sea already existed? And if I was evil I could just declare that sea mine right? That whole icecap thing sounds like too much work.
