Revision as of 17:03, 3 July 2009
Overlord: Dark Legend is a 2009 third-person action-adventure game developed by Climax Studios and published by Codemasters for the Wii.It will be a continuation of the 2007 video game Overlord, released for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
Gameplay
Development
Rather than a port of the original video game to the Nintendo Wii console, Dark Legend will be designed completely from scratch to allow a native Wii gaming experience and so the controls have to be redesigned to allow the players to control the character using the Wii remote.The player will not control the unnamed Overlord character from the original game (a hero turned evil) but rather a "young, new Overlord" (dubbed "trainee tyrant") which is "able to take his growing pains out on the local fairy tale inhabitants as he protects his castle and lands." According to Dean Scott in an interview with IGN, there will be many references to the old game even if the new game will not directly share anything in common with it. The goal, Scott continues, is to establish "the idea that there have been a series of Overlords throughout time".
According to Codemasters, the Wii remote will allow new, unique control mechanisms such as "pluck[ing] a minion from the horde, hold[ing] him by the neck and shak[ing] him around".Furthermore this allows the minion in question to be imbued with power from the Overlord and to turn him into a missile to be sent to explode within enemies. The minions themselves will be the same four types as were used in the original game (brown, red, blue and green) but they have gained new abilities, some of which are, according to Scott, "themed around bodily functions that childish folk like us find hilarious."
Dark Legend will feature a completely new story line, with new characters and locations. The story will be written by video game writer Rhianna Pratchett (daughter of famous British novelist Terry Pratchett) who also wrote the story for Overlord.
