How it feels

A wickedly funny power fantasy where playing the bad guy feels mischievous rather than menacing.

About

Overlord: Raising Hell is the expansion to the 2007 action role-playing game Overlord, which adds an extension to the game's single player with new levels, plot, enemies and weapons. Along with an extended story, Raising Hell also features new weapons and armor to be created in the forge of the Overlord's Tower. In the game's seriously warped fantasy world, players will become the Overlord and get first-hand experience of how absolute power corrupts absolutely.
