Morgoth Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Ever heard of this game? It's from Triumph Interactive, makers of the Age of Wonder series. Website Seems like it's a funny mix of RTS, action Adventure and Dungeon Keeper. I never really knew what that game really is about, but there're now two gameplay videos in HD res available, which really spiked my interest. There will also be a playable demo available, this or next week. Gameplay video Part1 Gameplay video Part2 Totally hilarious! Rain makes everything better.
Musopticon? Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Looks like there's finally going to be some spiritual successing in the wake of the long-dead DK franchise. Colour me interested.

Musopticon? Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Big list for being a Good Evil Overlord #1 Never ever do the "tell the good guys your plans once you entrap them"-routine, you'll regret it later, while slowly descending to bubbling lava or similar rather deadly abyss. #2 If you destroy a small town, say...with a horde of zombies, make sure you kill every last straggler there. Orphans and trauma-induced amnesiacs can be dangerous in the long run #3 Be nice to your lieutenants: Befriend them, make sure they have medi-care and dentristy and above all: do not change your overall plans or over-rule any decisions that align with your lieutenants alignments or code of honour. Angry lieutenant=rebellious lieutenant=dead overlord. #4 Make sure you concubines and mistresses love you above all. Not the hero, not the hero's dead father, not his dog or familiar or family code. Unless you want to invest in even more winetasters. #5 Muhawhawhawhaaa in moderation and your eyes open, nary a knife needs a bigger opening.

Calax Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 why do I get the feeling that you are going to be hunted by some bumbling idiot (like the three 'adventurers' who work for you at crossroads keep in NWN2) who dies in twenty seconds?

LadyCrimson Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) The 2nd video shows you fetching a crane to rebuild your castle - and there's the dungeon heart like thing ... plus other little castle touches. Has more of the action-rpg gameplay look, but seems both funny and may have some 'lair' stuff. More importanly, it has stupid minions who wear pumpkins on their heads.

mr insomniac Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 This game looks like a fun diversion. I'm all for minions running around with pumpkins on their heads. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.

Musopticon? Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Aha, my allusion was spotted. That list is worth it's kilobytic weight in gold. Which is, relatively, quite a lot.

Blarghagh Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I heard of this game, I didn't know it was so far in development. Looks kickass.
Morgoth Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Prevoo @ Eurogamer (X360) Rain makes everything better.
kirottu Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Oh religious activist will love this game. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
metadigital Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Prevoo @ Eurogamer (X360) Overlord is developer Triumph Studios' attempt at creating a universal remedy for over-exposure to fantasy works, a common malady in our post-Lord of the Rings, post-Harry Potter world. It ruthlessly pillories every fantasy staple ingredient - your first opponents will be out-of-control halflings under the command of a grossly obese former hobbit hero, and you'll find yourself tearing a swathe of destruction through halfling-burrows which look suspiciously like those we're used to seeing in Lord of the Rings. Okay, NOW I'm interested. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Dagon Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Pretty interesting game especially for for me and other old Dungeon Keeper fans But what we really need is the proper Dungeon Keeper sequel or a game which will be a total copycat!
Blarghagh Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) I wonder what the current position of the rights to Dungeon Keeper is, since Bullfrog no longer exists. Edited June 8, 2007 by TrueNeutral
Llyranor Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I just tried the 360 version demo on Live Marketplace. Game is pretty cool. The sense of humor so far is very nice. Burning hobbits hiding in wheat fields will never get old. I'll pick it up eventually. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
legion Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Going by the demo, the gameplay seems a little simplistic, but fun nonetheless. I imagine things will get more interesting when you have all four minion types to play with. Gameplay aside though, the spot on humour of the story/setting coupled with what appears to be great voice acting should be worth the price of admission alone. I'll be picking it up as soon as it comes out.
Musopticon? Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) Anybody know anything about the devs? Do they have some kind of relation to Bullfrog?

Morgoth Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Anybody know anything about the devs? Do they have some kind of relation to Bullfrog? They're the developers of the AoW series, which has some fanboys. Although I never played these. Btw, the DEMO is out now! Rain makes everything better.
Musopticon? Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) I liked Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic a fair bit. Going by their previous games, they definetly know a lot about fantasy cliches at least. Edited June 11, 2007 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Deraldin Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Btw, the DEMO is out now! I'm downloading the PC demo as I type. I really hope this one runs on my computer. Can't wait to give it a shot.
