Hands-on: Overlord 2 Demo
Comments from Gilgalad
I’m a big fan of the first Overlord game. I love the humor, playstyle and artform of it so I’m quite excited of the next adventure.
I have just finished the demo of Overlord 2 and I have to say it looks amazing. Gameplay seemed untouched but why fix something
that isn’t broken. There were few minor details changed for the better, like minions not running straight into the water and dying.
Only new thing I noticed was the mounts for minions. Mounts look really nice but the demo didnt show anything special that you
can use em for, they didnt add any damage for the minions but I think the mounts added minions health.
The demo only showed the mounts as a new thing but I am excited for the siege weapons and new minion abilities
that are in the full game.

I have never actually played the first Overlord game, I have only seen glimpses of Gilgalad playing it, but I do know
the basics of the game.
My first impressions when playing this demo is that even a newbie like me can get the hang of this game pretty fast.
I tested both Xbox360 and PC demo and if you ask me, both of them were equally good in gameplay and controls.
The demo was short so that’s all I can say for now. I might get interested enough to try this game.

The demo is currently available on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The PC demo can be downloaded from here.
