Overlord: Fellowship of Evil

What it’s like

You play as a Netherghūl, an undead servant resurrected to restore evil to a world overrun by light. The experience is defined by its signature black humor and satirical take on fantasy tropes, written by Rhianna Pratchett. While the narrative setup offers a fun premise for villain protagonists, the actual gameplay loop is often described as shallow and repetitive. The isometric action RPG mechanics lack depth, with combat feeling mindless rather than strategic. Exploration is present but rarely rewarding, leading to a sense of tedium. The atmosphere captures the twisted, dark comedy of the series well, supported by competent visuals and audio that maintain the grimy, manic tone. However, the structural design struggles to keep engagement high, relying heavily on the novelty of playing as the bad guy rather than robust systems or tight pacing.
