Once again there are four types of colour-coded minions, Tribes. For the majority of the time you do not have to get your hands dirty, but let the cackling Gremlin-escapees do your bidding - usually with amusingly demonic results. Once again you control the Overlord in a typical third-person action-adventure fashion with the left stick, and sweep the evil minions around the screen with the right. The core gameplay remains rooted in the Pikmin-meets-Sacrifice action-strategy template of the original, however.
"Controlling a town of brainwashed slaves gives more benefits spread out over time, while destroying a town gives instant evil gratification: the souls of the slain population and looted treasure from their destroyed houses are for the taking." "If you become a dominating tyrant, your spells will become better at subjecting the populations to your evil will", explains Sas. Whichever you choose ultimately has a bearing on how you play the game thanks to the spell system. Players now choose between shades of evil do you choose the cold-hearted enslavement of domination, or down and dirty demonic destruction? As Triumph's creative director Lennart Sas explains, the premise of the sequel is unfettered tyranny. After all, you are a cackling Overlord with a giant sword, fearsome armour and a horned helmet the concept of good does not enter the equation.
However, when the time arrives for the game to go offline, Momonga finds he hasn't been logged out and that the NPCs have started to develop their own personalities. He then makes it his mission to take control of the game world, which is now alive, and investigate what caused the phenomenon.One of the key changes to the strategy adventure gameplay is that the choices are not simply about good or evil.
The story takes place in a popular virtual reality video game called Yggdrasil, where Momonga - a skilled player and guild master in the game - decides to stay logged in until the game shuts down its servers for good.
