Great game, buy
Just make sure that if you have a laptop, that it meets all of the requirements.

OK game
The game is fun, but it's a bit buggy. As well, the control is a bit hard to manage and it's easy to get lost as to what exactly you are supposed to be doing. It's an interesting twist on your normal RTS/RPG genres, but I don't feel like they really pulled it off too well. The minions are kind of weak, and the game plays in such a way that makes you think you might be able to just gear up your minions and attack, but then you send them all in and they get owned. It's like they couldn't decide whether to make it a funny/relaxing game with simple game play, or an intense strategy game with more complicated game play. What they ended up with was a very simple game that somehow requires rather careful planning for even the simplest tasks--which probably explains the lower price. As far as being a fun game, it's probably worth a price sub-$20, but don't think you are getting a steal.

A total disappointment
Bad voice acting. Juvenile humor. Boring storyline. Annoying control scheme. Get the picture? Even at the rock bottom discount price it's a total waste of time and money.
I was looking forward to playing this, it sounded like an updated version of Dungeon Keeper (it's not). Instead you've got this avatar, a big clunky knight in armor, some kind of gnome-like adviser who never stops talking and some minions who never stop chattering like a bunch of monkeys with a football.........you go out on "missions" to recover artifacts but you can only get things done by using the minions to do your bidding. But you're restricted to using controls which don't work or are physically impossible, try this one: Hold down both mouse buttons, move the mouse to guide your minions through a path AND simultaneously click the center mouse button to indicate your target............I'm guessing that this might work somehow with a console but try doing it with a mouse.........and if you release any buttons or stop moving the minions immediately go out of control...........or objectives that require ten minions to move but you've only got six.........and they never stop chattering and the gnome-like guy just keeps repeating himself........after ten minutes it's no longer funny and after twenty minutes it's painful. Send me the postage and you can have this one for free.

Evil has never been so much fun.
This game is a great spoof off of any fantasy game/movie. The first level puts you right into a nice mid evil village that is rustic and beautiful and you send your minions to pillage and plunder it, it's very funny in that respect. It also has a lot of fun game play and a few types of minions so you can really strategize your method of combat. The levels are always changing so you never get sick of looking at the same scene over and over again. If you play it make sure though you buy all of the expansion packs with it because they play into the storyline and don't add onto the end of the story. But raising hell also added in a lot more game play in my own opinion. This game is definantly worth picking up.

Maybe not for everyone but I love it.
Overlord is like an evil, twisted ripoff clone of Pikmin(for the Gamecube). It places a huge importance on violence, looting, and general wrong doings. The horribly evil, yet loyal minions you control have many adorable characteristics that make them pretty cute at times with little phrases like, "For the master!" and, "That's mine. Hehe!" If you're interested, there is a demo version out there. I played the demo and loved it so of course I was happy with this purchase. It did not disappoint. I didn't have any software issues when playing this game. However, if you're planning on playing with the graphics settings maxed out, I would recommend a decent graphics card.
