Product Description

Meet Giblet, Blaze, Stench, and Zap – an elite Minion crew who, assisted by minion master Gnarl, get star billing in Overlord Minions, an irresistible and accessible puzzle action game, designed exclusively for Nintendo DS. In Overlord Minions, the Overlord commands the Minion team remotely. The Nintendo DS stylus becomes an extension of his evil will and every precise touch screen command is the player-as-Overlord directing, commanding and combining minions in battle, pointing and sweeping them to attack enemies and solving puzzles to execute his dastardly plans. Controlling the Special Farces team of four, players negotiate fiendish levels and take on a huge range of warped enemies to hunt down the Kindred, a cult dedicated to resurrecting the mighty Dragon Kin, a race of humanoid dragon hybrids, determined to replace the Overlord’s despotism with their own. Extending the Overlord series’ trademark humour, gameplay focuses on the mischievous physical comedy of the minion’s antics and is delivered in a gloriously realised cartoon visual style.

My boyfriend loves overlord, I had gotten him this game for his birthday. I watched him play the game, he seems to enjoy it.

Seems to be a lot of stylus action though. Thats how you control the little minions.

If you're looking for a casual game... you're better off getting a Wii and playing Overlord Legends. Overlord minions is really a decidedly arduous game of patience, and persistence. Don't know at what point in the game development they decided to make it a NDS game, but you can tell it was most likely simply tacked on somewhere toward the end of the game development. That said, what is otherwise a game with similar humor to the aforementioned Legends, is bogged down with finicky pointer controls at the best of times. It should be noted that having a NDSxl does make a world of difference in reducing frustration due to said controls. The smaller screens of older or smaller models apparently hold the key to why the controls are so finicky; hence why its obvious that changing Overlord Minions into a DS game was likely late in the development of the game.

Although the game is certainly a not a AAA title, it's certainly fun, specially if you're a fan of the OverLord franchise!
