What it is
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is a 2015 action role-playing game from Codemasters, set in a dark fantasy world shaped by the series’ black humour. Four Netherghūls, undead servants revived when no true Overlord remains, set out to restore evil while minions cause havoc under the guidance of Gnarl. The game can be played alone or in co-op with up to three friends, locally or online, in single-screen play. Players can also turn against one another during co-op. Its story was written by Rhianna Pratchett, and Marc Silk voices Gnarl. On Steam, it lists single-player and multiplayer, co-op, achievements, full controller support, Remote Play on TV and Family Sharing. The Steam listing specifies Windows. The adventure combines combat, minions and a comic take on a world overrun by good, with four-player co-op adding a chaotic group option.
