Another installment in the popular Overlord series, launched in 2007 by Triumph Software. The new game, this time developed by the Codemasters company, abandons the third-person perspective in favor of an isometric view, a distinctive feature of the hack-and-slash genre. Furthermore, the game now features four heroes instead of one, including: warrior, necromancer, dwarf, and dark elf.
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil for PC is the next installment of the Overlord series, which started back in 2007. Unlike the previous productions made by the Triumph studio, this time we can play not as just one, but four different dark lords; the basic mechanics have also changed, as the title is no longer a TPP action game – it has been designed as an RPG, where we experience the action with a camera located above the field of battle.
In Overlord: Fellowship of Evil we, once again, step into the shoes of an antihero , who this time operates from the nether world. It is our main ambition to unleash monstrous evil, forcing the world of the living to fall to their knees, and making us its dark master; the game offers four different candidates for this prestigious title – Inferna, the brutal warrior, Malady, the necromancer, Hakon, the dwarf, and Cryos, the dark elf. Each of the heroes has their own unique abilities which they can use in a hassle, we are also aided by the minions during our playthrough; the minions have several different classes – the green ones poison enemies, the red ones use explosives, while the blue ones are focused on defending our character. The gameplay revolves around travelling through the world, fighting enemies and solving various puzzles. The campaign can be beaten in single player mode; however, the title features a co-op mode for up to four players, playing via the internet or LAN.
The scriptwriter Rhianna Pratchett, known from productions such as Mirror’s Edge, Heavenly Sword or Tomb Raider, has been actively involved in the creation of the game.

Bland at best, broken at worst, this shallow reinvention of the cult strategy puzzler is hell for both fans and newcomers.

Evil always finds a way, but this time it might have taken a wrong turn
PressA2Join: 3.5 / 10 by Daniel Pitt
"Overall, Overlord: Fellowship Of Evil had so much promise, especially after Codemasters made it's announcement via Twitter, that has all to suddenly turned to disdain with its poor construction and lack of substance. The story can be completed within seven hours with up to four players if you can find three misguided fools to share your pain with".
