You've been awakened by your former minion master's demise, who was brutally killed by self-proclaimed heroes. The Dark Tower, once a symbol of ultimate evil, has been left in shambles. As the new Overlord, it's up to you to restore the tower to its former glory.
The game lets you summon minions from spawn pits, starting with basic brown ones that are prone to close-range combat. However, as you progress, more powerful red minions become available, resistant to fire and capable of firing from a distance. These minions follow your lead, gathering resources and destroying unwanted items along the way.
As you conquer and destroy, you collect life force, which is essential for summoning more minions. But don't worry, you're not defenseless – as an Overlord, you possess a mighty axe and can cast spells like fireballs to scorch your enemies or conjure shields to protect yourself.
As the game progresses, unlocking new tower rooms like the Armoury and Forge becomes possible. Here, you can craft armor and weapons for yourself, making you an even more formidable foe.
