Overlord

Overlord is a fun little adventure game that borrows heavily from Nintendo's popular Pikmin franchise. Unfortunately, it borrows so much that it feels like quite the rip-off at times. The control scheme is very similar and the general idea of controlling minions (just like you control pikmin) is clearly ripped straight from the aforementioned title.

That being said, if you can get past that fact, Overlord offers quite an enjoyable experience. Being evil is always fun and something that should always be confined to videogames. Like Pikmin, different colored minions have different powers, lending to some pretty imaginative puzzles. The puzzles really are the heart of the game, as the action aspect is pretty run-of-the-mill.

If you're a fan of Pikmin and don't mind playing a sub-par knock-off, there's still fun to be had here.
