While the original games were Pikmin-y doodads heavy on having your little demonic minion mates do the dirty work while you stood back, this co-op-packing spin off is far more action-RPG-y. Still, charging into battle as Netherghul with your human chums and a few minions backing you up still might be a lark. Maybe? … Now Available on Steam - Overlord: Fellowship of EvilOct 19, 2015 - Product ReleaseOverlord: Fellowship of Evil is Now Available on Steam! Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is an Action RPG filled with the series’ black humour and penned by award-winning scriptwriter Rhianna Pratchett. Players embark on an epic new quest in single-player or with up to three friends in co-op, assisted by the mighty, maniacal and occasionally moronic minions. It’s good to be bad, but it’s GREAT to be evil. Pre-Purchase Now - Overlord: Fellowship of EvilSep 1, 2015 - Product ReleaseOverlord: Fellowship of Evil is Now Available for Pre-Purchase on Steam. Pre-purchase the game to get a set of nine Team Fortress 2 Hats for your minions. *Offer ends on Sept. 29th. Minions, Ho! In Overlord: Fellowship Of Evil TrailerJul 23, 2015 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunMinions are big business nowadays, I gather from ignoring all the Despicable Me meme Thinkpieces and Hot Takes scrolling down Twitter. And yet, Codemasters are stepping away from their own brand of minions in Fellowship of Evil . Their upcoming spin-off of the Pikmin-with-jovial-murder series focuses more on player characters in co-op action. Minions are still around to do your murderous bidding, mind. Lest people think that they’re gone, Codemasters have dropped a new trailer focused on the minions, showing snippets of gameplay and a few of the great hats (and not-hats) they’ll get to wear. Very important to Overlord, hats. … Overlord – Know Your Minions and Your Questions AnsweredJul 23, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsPosting on behalf of Gnarl (He doesn't have a Steam Account) Greetings Humans, While those meatsacks at Codemasters have been busy working away I’ve been teaching Ricket to read using your messages. I must say some of them were delightfully evil and we’ve even learnt a few new words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viVQtkyKoJM Being the inquisitive beings that you are it would appear that you had a lot of questions about exactly what it is they’ve been cooking up, so I’ve commissioned an informational video and ordered the reds to poke the “Codies” with hot pointy sticks until they answered your tough questions... Which we actually think they enjoyed - You'll find their answers below. Why the change? Last two games were third person over the shoulder. Preferred the previous two games' in that respect more so than this one. Feels more like a Diablo spin-off now. I'd like to have the gameplay of the previous two games, but with more content, more customization to my dark tower, more story development, that sort of thing. You’re right in that Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is a big change in some respects, but it’s also very faithful in others. This is the main reason we didn’t title it Overlord 3. We’ve never even used that name in the office. Once we knew the game was going to be a spinoff (pretty much day one) we realised that’s how the game needed to be. We needed to be true to things like Rhianna’s storytelling, the character of Gnarl (and getting Marc Silk in for the voice), the use of the minions (and that gameplay choice of deciding which to use and when) and the feel of playing as powerful evil characters. However, we also felt it was an opportunity to give fans something new and exciting; a new perspective, new characters, a new story and new features like co-op play. Fellowship of Evil lends itself to being both a solo or cooperative tale that doesn’t forget to invite the minions. For the first time players will have the choice to invite other players into their game offering a compelling competitive and also cooperative gameplay, where players can collectively experience the different play styles that the four Netherghūls have to offer while commanding hordes of rampaging minions. In terms of co-op, from an early point, we thought about how many co-op games only really “work” in multiplayer, but in an Overlord game, as players have minions, they can use them to fulfil the typical co-op roles. In effect, even in solo play, you’re never alone. This seemed like a unique opportunity to make a game that’s as fun for solo players as it is in co-op. The team are huge fans of games like Towerfall, Samurai Gunn, Rocket League... We play these games in local co-op every lunchtime. These experiences made us believe that if we were going to do co-op, we wanted it to work in same-screen as well as online. This works well with Overlord’s humour; like when you watch a comedy movie alone, versus with 4 people on the same couch. Many of these things have c...Overlord – Know Your Minions and Your Questions AnsweredJul 23, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsPosting on behalf of Gnarl (He doesn't have a Steam Account) Greetings Humans, While those meatsacks at Codemasters have been busy working away I’ve been teaching Ricket to read using your messages.

Filled with pleasant conversation and tinkly niceness. It was all so very... dull. Evil, it seemed, was on its last legs. We Minions searched high and low until we found our salvation. All that remained was to find the right evil candidates. Dead evil candidates. The brutal Inferna, legendary warrior, crushed in aggressive altercations with rock trolls. Devilish necromancer Malady who extinguished her own life in return for a nefarious dark curse. Dwarven rogue Hakon and dark elf Prince Cryos – killed by each other’s hand. A two-for-one evil bargain! And so with the resurrection of these dark champions we begin to spread a little chaos again. Deviousness and destruction abound as these doers-of-dastardly-deeds combine their maniacal talents! For they must reluctantly work together to overcome the challenges ahead, as they embark on... a little fancy of mine... the Trials of Evil... (TM!) These undead servants of the dark arts, resurrected in the absence of a true Overlord... This “Fellowship of Evil” made up of our four freshly revived and foul smelling Netherghūls  need to work together and try not to kill each other while maintaining an expected level of evil. They’ll need to destroy all that is good on their way through the Netherworld and unleash hell on the world above! I’ll be sending some of my best... adequate... poorly trained minions along to assist. I trust you will kick, smash and crush them into shape. The blues will do their best to keep your blackened heart beating; the greens will sneak up behind your enemies and poison them, while it seems the reds now show little disregard for their own safety and I’m starting to wonder if providing them with explosives was a good idea! Finally we have the browns; they will... well... let’s just say the browns are the browns. Not content with their fossil fuelled chariots those dimwits at Codemasters have decided there is a buck to be made from our quest to restore the balance of evil and have signed their souls over to us in what I believe will be a rather lucrative licensing agreement. We’ve enlisted the assistance of the only human we trust to help make sure those meat sacks don’t make a mess of it and sent the devilishly evil Mistress of Scrolls Rhianna Pratchett to their cute little farmhouse to keep them in check. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z3dg5u5hUl0 Ricket, our blacksmith, informs me that construction on our new lair should be ready during this solar rotation and you’ll require the ownership of an Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or PC if you wish to enter... We’re trying to set up a games area in the Netherdeep you see and PlayStation Pin bowling requires a large number of “pins” when the reds are around. I have also acquired one of your human glow slates as I’m told it is a much easier way of getting you all to voluntarily follow us.
