Overlord: Minions

200960/100
PuzzleHack and slash/Beat 'em up

Fantasy

Minions distills the Overlord formula into a bite-sized, puzzle-focused package. Players command a squad of four demonic imps, each with unique abilities, to solve environmental challenges and defeat waves of enemies. The core loop revolves around mastering the interplay between these imps, using their strengths to overcome obstacles and exploit enemy weaknesses. This spin-off's success lies in its tight level design, which cleverly incorporates its limited scope to create a surprisingly addictive experience.

About Overlord: Minions

Details
Meet Giblet, Blaze, Stench, and Zap - an elite Minion crew who, assisted by minion master Gnarl, get star billing in Overlord Minions, an irresistible and accessible puzzle action game, designed exclusively for Nintendo DS. In Overlord Minions, the Overlord commands the Minion team remotely. The Nintendo DS stylus becomes an extension of his evil will and every precise Touch Screen command is the player-as-Overlord directing, commanding and combining minions in battle, pointing and sweeping them to attack enemies and solving puzzles to execute his dastardly plans. Controlling the Special Farces team of four, players negotiate fiendish levels and take on a huge range of warped enemies to hunt down the Kindred, a cult dedicated to resurrecting the mighty Dragon Kin, a race of humanoid dragon hybrids, determined to replace the Overlord's despotism with their own. Extending the Overlord series' trademark humour, gameplay focuses on the mischievous physical comedy of the minion's antics and is delivered in a stylised cartoon visual style.
