The player contends with the Overlord's brother and sister, who are siding with the Elves and Dwarves (respectively) to start a war and claim the kingdom for themselves. The Overlord shuts down her business, and takes care of the last of the fairytale creatures. The Overlord finds the cookie sales are being used by Doris to earn money from the tooth fairy (the cookies cause children's teeth to fall out). The Overlord intimidates the salesman, who claims the real person behind this is a kind witch named Doris, who lives in the woods. After slaying the wolf queen, the Overlord learns from the children he freed that they have seen the Blue Minions, mentioning that the local children have been disappearing after visiting a cookie salesman. The Overlord escorts the little girl, to find the girl is a wolf queen. The Overlord kills them, and returns to town to meet a little girl in a red hood, who asks him to take her to her grandma's house in the forest. He visits the nearby town of Meadowsweet, where he meets a bard named Nym, who asks him to kill the local wolves encroaching on the town. Using a rock giant to thin their numbers, the Overlord reclaims the forge and establishes some dominance in the world. The Overlord goes to reclaim the castle forge, that is in the hands of the notorious "Black Flame Bandits". A brown Minion takes Jinks' title as the castle jester. Fighting the Overlord in a pumpkin-launching makeshift tank, Jinks is sent flying after the Overlord causes the tank to explode. He destroys the remains of the Halflings, but incurs the wrath of the insane castle jester, a Halfling named Jinks, who was behind the attack. Planning on stopping this, the Overlord finds the Red Minion Hive and returns it to the castle. He begins his rule by tearing apart his brother and sister's room (with help from some Brown Minions), and repels a Halfling infestation. On his sixteenth birthday, Lord Gromgard is left alone when his father sets out on yet another quest to reclaim his fortune, leaving Lord Gromgard with his extremely unpleasant older siblings, Lord Greenville and Lady Gerda.Īfter getting a birthday present, the Overlord's Minion-commanding gauntlet, Lord Gromgard finds the Dark Tower and the Overlord armour that once belonged to his uncle, the mysterious Black Baron, and begins to learn the ways of the Overlord. Desperate to reclaim his fame, the Overlord's father, the once mighty Duke Gromgard, set out on a quest to acquire some of his lost assets, only to return with nothing and to find his wife, Duchess Gromgard, had run off with a rich and strong nobleman from a neighbouring kingdom.
As the years passed, the kingdom suffered many problems in the form of blights, poor crop harvests, Halflings taking the local food, bandits stealing from the populace and wolves eating or destroying what was left. Lord Gromgard, as a child, was told by Gnarl that, on his sixteenth birthday, his destiny would be fulfilled. In the form of puppet show-esque cutscenes, the Overlord's story is told (with Gnarl doing the narration).
Instead of the unnamed Overlord introduced in the previous game, Dark Legend follows the story of a new Overlord, named "Lord Gromgard". Overlord: Dark Legend screenshot, showing Gnarl and the new Overlord. Unlike Nintendo's New Play Control! Pikmin, however, Dark Legend also incorporates additional gesture controls for special abilities, such as one that lets the player grab a minion from the horde using the tilt and motion sensors in the Wii remote, shake the remote to imbue the minion with the Overlord's power, then release it to run at a target and explode. The Wii Remote's nunchuk attachment is used to control the Overlord, while the remote itself is used to organise and control the minions, capitalising on the controller's motion sensor and pointer capabilities. For example, unlike the other Overlord games, the life force collected from defeated enemies and used to create minions is no longer colour-dependant. However, the game presents some differences in terms of gameplay design. The four minion types (brown, red, green, and blue) and their abilities remain unchanged from the original. Much of the basic gameplay is similar to that of Overlord. See also: Overlord (2007 video game) § Gameplay
