Although only brown minions were available during my hands-on time, the strategic potential that comes from managing a group of four different unit types is definitely high.īut during the introductory section of Overlord II, your minions stumble upon a pack of wolves, or "wolvies," that they immediately take to riding. Green minions are your stealth units and the blues are once again your support creatures, as they possess the ability to heal their comrades. The browns still function as your main soldiers, while the fire-throwing reds cover the long-range battle plan. Speaking of minions, the four minion types return in Overlord II, along with a host of new moves. Of course, this could just be a matter of "getting used to the controls" after an hour or two is spent sweeping minions about. I wonder if this is going to be a precise enough method down the line when the enemies are more voracious. My primary hesitation comes with mapping both horizontal camera control and minion commands to the right stick. Ultimately, having so much control over your character and his followers seems like an impossible feat on a controller, but it works fairly well. So like the original Overlord, Overlord II is all about giving commands to your minions while simultaneously controlling your character. Furthermore, pushing the right stick forward will sweep your minions forward and they can be guided left and right after having the initial sweeping order assigned to them. R1 is used for minion selection and R2 orders your minions to attack/interact with whatever is in front of you (or whatever you're locked on to). The remaining two triggers give you control over your minions. As for the triggers, L1 reorients the camera behind the Overlord while L2 is used to lock-on to different targets. X is used for attacks and Square casts a lightning spell. The left stick moves the Overlord around the environment, while the right stick rotates the camera.
DOES OVERLORD II HAVE CONTROLLER SUPPORT PS3
As I played the PS3 version, I can only speak on how that console version controlled. Before the town is actually attacked, you have a while to acquaint yourself with the controls and chase a bunch of meddling children in the process. This entire beginning section serves as a tutorial for the player. The minions struggle to help the new Overlord escape from Nordberg, as the town is suddenly besieged by warriors of the Glorious Empire, a Roman-esque legion of soldiers and sorcerers. Turns out this little troublemaker is the Overlord's son. After all, his eyes are always glowing in an evil manner and you can't see his entire face. There, a small child is found and he's quite unlike the other boys. Their quest takes them to the quiet, icy lights of Nordberg, a town nestled deep in snow-capped mountains and trees. However, the darkly adorable creatures search high and low for signs of a new master. The Overlord is gone and the minion army has been without a guiding hand for quite some time. Overlord II picks up where the original Overlord (expansion pack) left off.
