Overlord 2 is a third person fantasy action adventure game developped by Triumph Studios and published by Codemasters for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft windows. This is a sequal to the game Overlord, and has similar gameplay in which you control an Overlord and his minions, however this version has an increased scope from the original concept with improved AI and a more attractive visual experience. The story follows the events of the first Overlord game, and this time around players will control the original Overlords son, known as the Overlad. The game puts you against rival races such as Gnomes and environmental activist motivated Elves which adds elements of politics, environmental issues and other world problems on top of the core fantasy gameplay.

Details
The minions this time around are smarter, deadlier and ready to fight in large scale battles putting their wild pack mentality against the organised legions of the Glorious Empire. The warped humour has also returned with minions being funnier than ever. The minions are also able to ride wolves and other magical creatures making them faster and fiercer warrior when entering battles.

Pros
- New spells, weapons and amour to collect
- New enemies to fight, requiring new combat strategies
- Mounts which the minions can ride
- Ability to level-up minions, as well as minion names and titles
- Ability to resurrect dead minions from within the tower
- Humorous tongue-in-cheek fantasy story line
- Ability to conquer towns for tribute, or destroy them
- Magical abilities change with player alignment (Domination vs. Destruction)
Cons
- Relatively linear gameplay, lacking the exploration and experimentation of the first

- No arena system like the first had
- Once levels are completed, enemies are not present when they are revisited
