#OVERLORD II PS3 GAMEPLAY OFFLINE#
Overlord II features four multiplayer modes, available both online and in offline split-screen, each with its own map. In places throughout the game, available minions must use their abilities together in order to overcome obstacles and defeat tough enemies. Players can give custom names to their favorite minions, and resurrect them in a special graveyard if they are lost in the line of duty. Green minions specialize in stealth, serving as excellent assassins, and otherworldly Blues use magic to heal others and avoid harm. Reds can set their surroundings aflame in no time. Brown minions take the part of the belligerent infantry boots on the ground to cause chaos by hand. As before, minions are distinguished by their color, and four main types are available in Overlord II. Minions can also ride wolves and magical creatures into battle. The sequel expands play with more skilled minions that can perform more tasks, and can work together to operate war machines and sail heavily armed vessels. Of course, it's actually the Overlord's minions that do all the dirty work. Players can choose a path of Domination, ruling mercilessly over the farms and villages of the land and plundering their resources at will, or a path of Destruction, leaving nothing but death and scorched earth in their wakes. Again, the enemy is a civilization known as the Glorious Empire, a great Roman-inspired kingdom that seeks to banish all magic and superstition from the world. The story of Overlord II continues from the first game, as the player assumes the role of the original Overlord's son. Retaining the play style of its predecessor, the game combines the third-person squad management of the GameCube masterpiece, Pikmin, with the wry, good-to-be evil sensibilities of the home computer classic, Dungeon Keeper. Mean-streaked tacticians are called upon to fling more minions and raise more hell In Overlord II.
