Overlord - Preview @ ActionTrip

Another preview for Triumph's Overlord as the expected release date approaches.  This time its ActionTrip and here's a snip:

Throwing you deep into a more or less typical fantasy setting, Overlord places you under the skin of a powerful Overlord. Resurrected by minions, you take on the challenge of bringing balance to the world. The Overlord who reigned before you was destroyed by seven beings. Having defeated the Overlord, they all returned to their homelands as heroes. Despite their heroic efforts, these heroes eventually succumbed to corruption. The holy paladin, for example, got consumed by lust, while the gluttonous halfling hero transformed into a huge monster.

The game begins when you awaken in a ruined tower, resurrected by an old minion named Narl, who acts as your advisor in the game. Luckily for you, most powers and abilities of the ancient Overlord have been passed on to you. That's where Narl comes in. His initial counsels come as a few basic instructions on how to use these powers and make use of your minions.

What does your average Overlord do, anyway? Well, once he establishes his dark tower, he can head out to wreak havoc and spread terror across the land. What else?
