Whoah hold on.

Overlord is not an RPG. It does not pretend to be an RPG.

I repeat. It. Is. Not. An. RPG.

Overlord bears more resemblance to a real time strategy game than it does an RPG. There are some mild dungeon crawling and puzzle solving aspects, but by and large that's about as far as the resemblance goes to RPGs.

I would classify the gameplay as a 3D third person strategy action game.

The storyline is OK - amusing, with some occasionally inspired voice acting but if you're looking for Shakespeare, these are not the minions you are looking for.

As for micromanagement, that's really not terribly necessary in most situations on anything but the hardest difficulty.
