Super Grave Snatchers
Raise the dead. Kill people. Raise them, too.
There are also spells like fireballs and soul tornadoes, if you don’t want your minions to have all of the fun.
Campaign is not long, but there’s a sandbox mode and a survival mode that you can unlock, also.

Super Grave Snatchers is a short, beautifully retro, necromantically witty and very engaging game.
The controls are simple enough, and fairly intuitive. On higher difficulties, the length of the game makes the creative permadeath fun rather than a chore (I recommend at least 2 Cheat Death items, because you basically have 1 HP). On lower difficulties, well, it’s a blast to just run around necromant-ing everything in sight. :D
As for the musical score - ::chef’s kiss::

Dangerous Lands 2 - Evil Ascension
Definitely wasn’t ready for any sort of launch. I got out of the first area and it switched my character for some reason and made the enemies around me nearly invincible (I was only doing 1 damage no matter what I threw at them and they must of had 2000 hp) and took out half my health in a single swing. Also there is not volume control which is shitty since the in game sounds are straight nails on a chalk board.

Fallen Angel
Lucifer has returned with only one thing on his mind – claim the seat from the old man. However, this will prove a daunting task. The gates to God are locked, and only the decapitated heads of the Archangels will open this lock. Time to get some payback on these self-righteous fools.
Devilishly fast action
The fast-paced combat, reminiscent of Wizard of Legend, is what initially drew my attention. And, I’m happy to report it passed with flying colours. Your first run should take about six hours, depending on how much you explore and how good you are at separating Archangels from their souls. One important thing I can’t stress enough - ⚠️**DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT PLAY THIS WITH A MOUSE AND KEYBOARD!**⚠️

UPDATE:
As time has gone on the game has gotten more updates, and bugs are continually being fixed. If you have tried the game previously and were turned off by minor things, please give it another chance. It’s a solid experience, and now at a standard price of $15, it’s even more worth it.
Oh man where do I start?
tl;dr
Fallen Angel is a great game and is definitely worth your time if you’re a fan of stylish-action/hack and slash style games. The combat may not be as in-depth as something like Devil May Cry, but it’s still a solid experience for being from such a small team.

I’d recommend this game…with quite a lot of reservations. The TL;DR version? If you’re a fan of the Overlord world and story, buy it during a sale. If you’re like me and you really, really like Overlord and need your smashing sheepies fix, then maaaaaybe it’s worth buying now. YMMV.
First, the good. The story is funny, with Pratchett’s humor put to good use. The minions are entertaining, as always, and the dialogue is cheeky and fun. The world designs (especially the Netherdeep hub) are quite neat. The Netherghul designs are fantastic, and it’s fun to be able to play a variety of characters. It seems obvious that Codemasters put a lot of love into the game. The minion upgrades you can purchase were also pretty useful and unique compared to the previous games. The voice acting is fantastic, and I really liked the new characters as a whole. It was pretty cool to see the remnants of the old Overlord’s empire, too, such as statues of the minion wolf riders and Fay. The animated cut scenes had a really interesting wood-cut kind of style, which was unique and kind of neat to see in a video game.

Undead Horde
Ok, here’s the thing. I’ve always liked necromancer type games, and vampires, and mummies, and werewolves and all that Bela and Boris stuff. But, some of the real hardcore horror games don’t appeal to me. I don’t care for gore all that often, and I don’t like true horror. I like the old campy stuff. And that’s what this reminds me of… hear me out.
This has skeletons and orcs and humans and bears and scorpions and treasure chests and magical weapons and skeletal necromancers summoning the dead, and it’s all done in a cute art style that I love. I mean, c’mon. How can you NOT think the main character is adorable? And during the first mission when I got undead bears, I was over the moon.

Undead Horde, eh? Action RPG game where player takes role of evil necromancer, who’s hellbent on purify the world from the living.
You will go through around 30 maps on a 5 different lands: from little human villages to vast orcish deserts and to great knightly citadel. On your journey you will met around 30 adversaries, which 90% of them are living beings, who can be ressurcted in undead form and stay permanently (not to mention some staff’s can summon temporary minions). I like that developers made for each living creature an undead version of it, no matter - it’s peasant with pitchfork or bear or giant.

EvilQuest
EvilQuest is an action adventure RPG in a retro style. It comes off as something like a late NES or early SNES/Genesis title… if that perspective helps. You are a very powerful, evil dude that gets betrayed by his army and locked up. However, you escape captivity and go on a quest to regain your mighty power and ultimately seek to destroy God himself. Sounds pretty cool, right?
You basically go around overworlds seeking towns and dungeons. You can do some generally mean things along the way, but you’re focus is to find four elemental things and then go to the final area once the barrier is broken. It’s some standard, by the books stuff. But it works. Along the way, you fight through monsters and bosses in a Zelda-esque fashion. Defeating them will net you gold, which can be used to purchase equipment to make yourself stronger and items to recover from loss of health, loss of magic, or status ailments. As you progress, you’ll find stronger weapons and different spells to help you tackle your foes. Also gained from defeated enemies are experience points. Getting enough of these will allow you to level up. Upon gaining a level, you have the option to distribute a number of points into whichever stats you see fit. This can be fun for building a specific way for different playthroughs. Want to beef up your magic skills? Maybe you want to deal mighty blows with your weapons. Or perhaps you just want to be a well rounded warrior. It’s nice for some customization and replay value, yet not too complicated as to overwhelm the player. I also would like to point out that I thought the music was alright, but I do enjoy the art style quite a bit. Guess I’m a softy for that kind of thing.

First of all, I had to think long and hard about whether to give this an overall thumbs-up or thumbs-down. I finally concluded that since I put in the time to not only finish it but get all achievements, and for all its faults it was only made by two guys it seems so it’s somewhat forgivable, that it had just slimly earned a thumbs-up. That being said…
WHAT THIS GAME IS:
An action-RPG straight from the NES era, very specifically based heavily on Crystalis to the point at which it’s basically a poor man’s copycat of that game in every way. I would suggest skipping this and going to play Crystalis if you like the basic gameplay but want to waste as little time as possible, but if you love Crystalis and want more just like that you might as well give this game a try. When all’s said and done, the gameplay itself is actually quite fun with some fairly well-designed boss battles.

Overlord II
I’ll order by pros, cons, summary and conclusion to make this as uniform and readable as remotely possible. Spoilers have been omitted out of respect for those with prying eyes.
+Minions are as nuts and jovial (albeit only to you/allies) as they’ve ever been
+Absolutely gorgeous visuals compared to the first game
+More original comic remarks from Gnarl and your mistresses to keep you chuckling, along with the hilarous antics of others complimenting the overall tone of the satisfying precipice to the game’s inevitable cessation

I enjoy the Overlord series. A mix of high fantasy and parody that’s only a few pedophilic steps shy of Xanth, you play as the titular Overlord, an evil master of a swarm of multi-colored minions, who sweep across a fantasy world, sewing death and destruction in your wake. You control your Overlord and your minions simulatinously, walking across the battlefield, slinging spells and swinging your weapon of choice, while your minions fill a cannon fodder role, exactly as willing to run into the heart of an impossible fight for you, as they are to put anything and everything they can find upon their heads.

Overlord™: Raising Hell
Making a demon army, enslaving humanity, and taking over the world…. Ya who wants that? ME. Make more of these games please.
Being a demon lord sith master dark force (copyright) yadadada is pretty awesome!
Control and Minons
Overlord focuses on you staying in control of well .. the overlord while you can also control minions. I really like these types of games that are define you as a single character who you are always in control of while manipulating units makes you feel more like a general in the front lines and not a king who is a potato in a castle you never see.

Overlord™
Overlord™ Review
Overlording awaits sire… The fields are planted; peasants are cowering in fear, all in anticipation of your arrival…
Some key points that this game offers:
-
Dark humour
-
RPG like no other…
-
Hordes of minions at your disposal.
-
Magic, mayhem and chaos.
-
A Tale of revenge, justice and general enemy bashing.
Gameplay & Controls:
The controls are quite simple, you can use a controller or your keyboard and mouse, the game however offers only partial controller support for the PC version. The keyboard and mouse are both used for gameplay with the mouse acting as your eyes, pointing in the way you want to look and go. The LFM used to send your minions out, and the RMB to call them back, holding both of them down you sweep your minions in the direction you want them to go. The mouse wheel can be used to scroll through your different minion types, and the numbers above the alphabetical keys.

Overlord is a deep game with even deeper nostalgic connections but so sadly overlooked even by myself for the longest time. If you’re looking for an old game that still lives up to standards today, or if you just want a basic RPG collectathon that you can occupy yourself for hours with, at the price it is Overlord will meet every expectation and hope you could ever wish for. I couldn’t recommend this more, this is one incredible, criminally underrated RPG you don’t want to miss.
This game had it’s 10th birthday this year, I only played it for the first time a few years back and have made it my yearly tradition to come back around this time of year (October - December) to replay Overlord + Raising hell. I got this game years prior in a bundle of some kind for about 90p/just over $1. After neglecting to play it for ages I finally got round to it and for that amount of money it blew my mind - even for the average price it is on here now (£3.50) it’s an absolute steal.
