Overlord Raising Hell on PS3

February 27th, 2008 by Rajiv Ashrafi in Action, News, PlayStation 3

Having conducted much tyranny and pain on PC and Xbox 360, Codemasters has announced a PS3 version of Overlord, its minion-accruing action game. Originally released last year on the aforementioned platforms by Triumph Studios, and enjoyed by many, the game will make its appearance on the PS3 with the content from the original, its expansion as well as some of its own, in one exclusive edition.

Set in a seriously twisted fantasy world, Overlord: Raising Hell is an action adventure that has players being ruthless, determined, and even a little despotic as they pillage lands and conquer kingdoms in order to be proclaimed the all-powerful Overlord. At the heart of the game is an army of slavish little creatures known as Minions, and their presence provides Overlord: Raising Hell with its deliciously dark comedic touches.

Totally loyal to their Overlord, Minions will use their unique skills to fetch, fight and even die for him. Opportunists by nature, a Minion will rob an opponent of a mighty axe to arm themselves with and steal armour to wear for protection. Players will amass armies of up to 50 Minions as they explore and conquer the world’s five domains. Use the Minions tactically and they’ll always be on hand, ready to sacrifice themselves just to save the Overlord’s illustrious arse.

The PS3 edition will feature additional levels, each representing a supernatural abyss for the game’s five kingdoms. It will also be enhanced with detailed visuals, an audio system with 7.1 surround sound and gameplay refinements, such as the addition of an on-screen mini-map. Look forward to it this Summer.
