Has anyone played Overlord?

I played the demo, it wasn't to bad, nothing great, but it looked fun.

It's a good game, but there are some issues.

Firstly, it's a little buggy and choppy. Even with the graphics turned unacceptably down, you'll still get framrate drops every so often. This isn't crippling to the gameplay style, but it can be a nuisance.

Secondly, it really is quite a long game, and progress is made rather slowly. That's fine with me, since I like a game with staying power, but it's not for everyone.

Still, if you don't mind these things, then it's very fun and suits all manner of playstyles - do you want to actively seek out every evil act you can possibly commit? Do you want to rule as a 'tough, but fair' tyrant? Are your minions expendable fodder, or a loyal army serving you from start to finish?

Good times.

Indeed.

I haven't played it recently, but it is a cool game; I enjoy the range of choices, and how the consequences play out when you make them.
