Overlord PC and Xbox 360 demos give an evil preview to the June 29th RPG release
Codemasters explains their new RPG Overlord allows you to don the Overlord’s illustrious armour, assemble a team of fighter minions and head off for a session of serious destruction in the once tranquil area of The Mellow Hills. Descend upon the unsuspecting populace and wildlife, use your loyal minions to gather life-force from the somewhat unwilling sheep, grow the size of your minion horde, and let the Halflings-gone-bad know there’s a new boss in town. Make use of minion upgrades by forging their souls into metal melting pots to create new armour and pumpkins as minion helmets, throw in some peasant intimidation and a show-down with the Guard Troll and you’ll have a taste of the havoc that a minion horde can wreak.
You can download the PC demo from Codemasters, or try the Xbox 360 demo by going to the console’s Xbox Live Marketplace. The game has a release date of June 26th in America and June 29th in Europe.
Watch the truely evil trailer to see what the game’s all about:
No! You can’t! Don’t kill the unicorn! It’s mystical and stuff.
