#OVERLORD FELLOWSHIP OF EVIL UPGRADE#

you’ll just move on to the next objective like nothing more has happened. Get to the end before the time runs out and you’ll be praised. Occasionally we’ll see the fighting areas that preceed the treasure dismissed in favour of a point to point race, avoiding the odd obstacle, swinging scythes and flame throwing traps on the way. That is if the loot bothers appearing, as much like the rest of the game, whether it appears or not is all down to luck, with many a time the loot boxes glitching to give us nothing.

There is little scope for exploration either, seeing you being forced down similar paths, in order to get to the next mission objective.ĭestroy everything put in front of you and you’ll be treated to a veritable feast of treasure chests and loot, all of which can be collected and then used to upgrade your minions or your skills. Going out on a killing spree, clearing areas of do-gooders with either your chosen character, or with the minions you’ve accumulated is the standard fare, but the fighting mechanics boil down to nothing more than hammering the attack button for all it’s worth, occasionally holding back to deal out a special attack whenever you have access to its power.

Throughout your playthrough, you’ll find three distinct game modes, all of which have been put together to help the flow of the game succeed, whereas in reality, they have done nothing other than to show what a bodge Fellowship of Evil really is.

Granted, team up with a friend or three and the combinations of warlords do allow for some slightly strategic battles, but running around, dragging enemies this way and that before unleashing a flurry of mashing attacks is basically what it all boils down to. But whether we decide to order our minions about with the range attacking Malady or Cryos, or prefer to get up close and personal with either Inferna or Hakon, the game plays pretty similar each time. With four Netherghuls in place, all with completely different skillsets, we should be given the chance to play through the game, possibly multiple times, in order to experience everything on offer. Unfortunately none of it works out quite like that. After being summoned by Gnarl, it is your task to help send the world back into a spiral of oblivion, all with the help of the usual minion helpers. Set after the events found in the brilliant Overlord II, the world has been overrun with goodness and all things pink, fluffy and a world away from the evil that the minions wish it to be. Now, I can’t for one minute try to tell you that I care one iota for the background story and it’s a bit of a shame that the narration which long time Overlord sidekick Gnarl tells is completely overlooked, but for the record, I guess I should give you some inkling as to how things are panning out. I’m not in anyway amazed by the visuals or told a deep unfrogettable story via the audio cues, but the gameplay as a whole, no matter how repetitive and glitchy it may be, has dragged me in. That said, I’ve been strangely drawn towards what the latest Overlord title brings. But is that what we have got? Hell no, for Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is nothing more than a bug-ridden, glitching ride through the depths of hell.
