Overlord

Wanna kill off the whole human population?Hunt unicorns as recreation?Overlord is here to satisfy your hunger.Play as an overlord that grab the throne of a defeated overlord,which you are suppose to avenge him.Really some B class movie plot , but it offers hours of evil entertainment before crysis get it ass out of development.
Flaws like invisible "walls" everywhere, minions drowning themselves, waypoint problem, makes it feel very unpolish.For such cute and rather childish game, the graphics is off course mediocre in terms of technology,but actually look very good in reality with overbright,(rather) high textures , great heat effect for cartoonish cutie little demons to run around.But the water shaders still leave much to be desired.
Easily got it to 16x12 resolution with only normal mapping set to off while the rest is at their max.Normal mapping is something like bump mapping or parallex mapping which give a object surface a 3d look, but since this is a 3rd person game, the decrease in visual quality is minimal until there is close up cutscenes of ugly human conversation, which is ugly by design...
