Did you play Overlord 1 and 2? Because if not, I highly recommend them. It's original and funny as hell. This YouTuber made a nice video about the second game and man, I wish the studio had made a third game.



I unfortunately only have Overlord 2 on my Xbox and while the first one does show up in the store, it's not available for purchase. Unfortunately this was never enhanced for BC either, so it's stuck at a rather low resolution, looks quite bad and framerate is 30fps and likely way below as well. But ideal for PC.

Give this a chance of you've never played it.

Play dungeons series, first one isnt that good but dungeons 2/3/4 has amazing humour and that warcraft3 rts+ building ur evil mastermind dungeon playstyle, highly recommend.

dungeons 4 has even free demo on steam where u can play first 3 lvls, thats few hours of gametime actually

Arent these more like dungeon keeper?

Only game i can think of like overlord is Brutal Legend, as it also focuses on third person gameplay/combat while simultaneously commanding soldiers

I assume you must be refering to the overall vibe of the game, since both involve controlling an evil lord commanding an army and contain dark humor.

If its that i'd say Dungeon Keeper also fits it (which i assume is what dungeons is based on). For less management and more third person action, checking out Destroy All Human games (especially with the remakes), might be worthwhile too (though its evil aliens instead of evil fantasy monsters)

Sadly that's not my kind of genre, not the biggest fan of topdown but especially not rts.

Oh, THAT Overlord. I was thinking "there was another game?"

 

[kiphalfton]

Supposedly there's 6 individual overlord games OP.

Go get em.

Fun games. I have all except "Fellowship of Evil" on steam. Might get it just to complete the collection even though its not good according to the reviews.
