Overlord - Blu-ray Forum

The review at gamespot said you need to micromanage a lot during combat. But do you have to micromanage or could you just leave it to the AI if you play on an easier difficulty level?

Do you think Overlord II will make Overlord I not worth playing anymore? II is coming in June.

I was also wondering, can you pause during combat like you can in Baldur's Gate?

Micromanaging.. hmm well not really, its pretty straight foward.

Try the demo on the psn store that should get you a good feel for the game.

One of the most annoying demos I've ever played...this sold well enough for a sequel?

Have you played the demo? I've noticed a lot of people mentioning Overlord the past week (due to this sale) and a lot of people are under the wrong impression about what the game is about. Even at $10 I'd play the demo first. Remember that 3 $10 games adds up to one really good $30 game. I have a feeling a lot of people will be buying this game b/c of the price and then realize it is not for them.

Edit: I am honestly surprised this game did well enough for a sequel too.

Edit 2: This game is NOTHING like Baldur's Gate.

I sorta have to micro manage a little bit, but its not that bad. It was a fairly easy game and i thought it was pretty enjoyable. Nothing amazing, but not bad.

I'm mostly interested due to the RPG theme and getting to play a bad guy. I don't know any other games for PS3 that have both elements.
