Description: As a newly undead Lich, protect your dungeon realm from brazen adventurers who attempt to rob you of your treasures and slay your precious monsters. As master of your domain, direct your monsters into the fray, place deadly traps and defences, and cast spells that help or hinder. Use strategy, brawn and trickery to thwart the heroes and preserve your subterranean rule. The player wins if they successfully defend against waves of heroes, and loses if the heroes find the Overlord’s animus hidden in each chamber and destroy it.

Review: Underworld Overlord is a dark cartoon game that is also filled with more fun and dark humour than even the devil himself would approve of. Cut short it is a tower defence game that sees you trying to protect your crystal (animus) from tomb raiders in the shape of muscle-laden “heroes”. Not only does this game look great, it is also well laid out in the controls which meant I hardly any troubles navigating around.

But I do feel it is the characters that make this game so great. From the evil little Onagu The Deceiver to all the funny heroes and allies you can call to your aid. This is a game you can easily get into and some of the bigger levels also make great use of VR and a good swivel chair is suggested. The lack of multiplayer stops it from being something extra special, but even with single player mode only I still think it delivers its moneys worth.
