As the stolen tower objects are recovered, new rooms and spells become available for use, and the Overlord's maximum health and mana increase. The player begins in an old ruined tower that has been plundered of its magical artefacts and acts as a central hub for the player. Once a forge is acquired, they can be used to imbue weapons and armour to increase the Overlord's abilities. In addition to controlling minions, the player can sacrifice them at altars of blood and magic to restore the Overlord's health or mana. At the start of the game only five minions can be summoned at once as the game progresses this can increase to a maximum of fifty. The player needs to pay life-force, which can be gained by killing creatures, like sheep or large bugs, to summon minions. Minions are summoned from the spawning pits found scattered throughout the game. Browns are melee fighters, blues can revive defeated minions and swim, reds throw fireballs at enemies, can put out fires and are immune to fire attacks, and greens backstab enemies and can clear poisonous gas and plants. There are four minion races, each of which have their own colour and abilities. Each one represents one of the seven deadly sins. The game centres around simultaneously controlling the Overlord and an army of goblin-like minions to traverse the 3D gameworld and defeat the Seven Heroes, who slew the Overlord's predecessor, and who have since been corrupted by power. The player uses the minions for the majority of tasks such as combat. The game also uses black humour and often parodies and satires traditional fantasy setting and plot. While the Overlord is controlled in a third person perspective, the way minions are controlled brings elements of real time strategy and upgrades bring those of role-playing games. or really evil," where certain actions and choices affect different aspects of the story and gameplay.
