Evil found a way; there is more Overlording that needs doing…
Please note that this Review may contain spoilers from the Base game
Some key points that this game add on has to offer:
- New weapons and armor that can be forged.
- New areas to explore and conquer.
- New weapons have elemental damage powers.
- Continuation of where Overlord left off.
Replayability:
As with the original overlord game, overlord II does not really offer replay value, like I said in the Overlord review, this was before new game + feature came out. Although replaying the games is fun, you go the alternate route whether it’s pure evil or neutral evil.
There is the option of playing to either craft every item there is, collect all the tower heart pieces or just generally go around bashing things, the game offers that level of fun. Then there is multiplayer which can be played with mates or random players which is quite fun and entertaining, so even if there is no new game + multiplayer does offer some good fun.
MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
Overlord™ Raising Hell continues where the Overlord game left off, with Abyssal gates opening up in your conquered lands. These abyssal gates lead to a form of Hell where you will face off against the conquered bosses from the original game. That is the only way to close these gates and prevent more of your conquered peons from being lost to these gates.
These abyssal gates all lead to new areas with new content to play and explore along with some new puzzles to master. Several new weapons and gear can be forged with this add on. To obtain these new items one has to obtain their mould in these new areas.
Once the minions have taken it back to a portal you can go ahead and craft that item, be it a fire elemental sword or the harvester helm that allows you to double your life force gains. All in all, a decent add on to an already amazing story for your Overlord.
