Overlord: Dark Legend

Evil Always Finds a Way

Like Overlord II, there are four minion types willing to put their life on the line with a dutiful pleasure. The Brown Minions are strongest, in my opinion, and are good for general combat. The Red Minions are both fire-eaters and throwers, razing anything and everything your Wiimote can aim at. The sneaky assassins of the group are the Green Minions and are great for stealth missions. Lastly, the Blue Minions are the bishops of the group and can not only heal but also resurrect fallen subordinates. The Minions may be a bit unnecessary in comparison to the difficulty level, but they are still quite comedic and fun to have around.

Much to my delight, the Life Force that you collect from fallen enemies is no longer color specific. In past Overlord games, the Life Force that dropped was relayed to the color of the four available minions, so you often found yourself short of a certain type. With Life Force aplenty in Dark Legend, I had no issues summoning Minions of any type to do my specific bidding.

A new comedic addition is the ability to grab a Minion by the neck and shake them until they rage. This is as easy as aiming at a Minion pressing A & B simultaneously and shaking the Wiimote like hell. This drives the Minion mad and turns them into a kamikaze demon ready to explode on the nearest enemy. It made me laugh yet felt tacked on. If you feel like a giggle it's worth a try, but using it during normal gameplay is more trouble than it's worth. Needless to say, I used it only when a puzzle required me to.

If that's the case, you probably have a van with a bunch of these in the back.
