A fantasy world without an overly large, stereotypical demon villain would be far too nice, pretty, and sweet. According to Overlord: Raising Hell, fantasy realms need more evil. In fact, the want is so great that the game flips the typical demon antagonist into the main protagonist. The playful mix of satire, commentary, and terrible accents resulting from the flip is enough to delight even the most pragmatic gamer.
Yet, peel back the skin of the nefarious protagonist and charming little minions and what you’re left holding is a mixed bag. While Overlord is a decent romp through a series of missions aimed to make you laugh, think and fill the world with evil, there are also some particularly glaring flaws. These flaws on the PS3 platform are real deal breakers, and unfortunate considering the promise of Overlord: Raising Hell.
