Jan. 2026

This is a fun, but short, metroidvania game where you get to go throughout all of Nazarick. It's soundtrack is baller and the game has some simple enough formula anybody could play it. If your a fan of the Overlord series this is a fun game to try out! My advice would be to wait till it's on sale as it's base price is a little high for how short it is... -Overall fun game, sasuga Ainz-sama!!

Dec. 2025

If you enjoy both Overlord and Metroidvania games, then this is a solid purchase. It's far from a perfect game, but it's fun and the writing cleaves very nicely to the original series. However, if you haven't watched Overlord, I would strongly recommend doing so before you play this game. The game just drops you into the middle of one of the climaxes of the first season, with no explanation at all as to what's going on. Pros [*]Beautiful pixel graphics mixed with show-accurate backdrops, etc. [*]Good character dialogue [*]Fun gameplay, especially the platforming [*]Variety of difficulties (not always included in Metroidvania games) [*]Good Soundtrack Cons [*]Feels very Indie, such as having text that is oddly crisp placed over pixel graphics or highly minimalist UI [*]Combat is a bit clunky, between strange hitboxes and attack timing [*]Directional attacks or grappling are both over and undersensitive, leading to somewhat sticky controls [*]Some lore inaccuracies, mostly relevant to the light novels (where abilities are explained in more depth). This is largely not noticeable if you've only watched the anime (or just aren't a huge Overlord nerd). Mixed [*]Rather linear: while there are some locked or hidden areas to go back and explore later, the game itself is very linear for the most part. This makes it good for a more casual experience (or a good entry point into the Metroidvania genre), but loses a bit of the depth of the genre defining games such as, obviously, Metroid and Castlevania. Conclusion I greatly enjoy this game and fully recommend it. Contrary to other reviews, I think this game is worth $30 for the content and length of the game (I'm only maybe 50% done as of writing this review). Combined with replay value in achievements for every difficulty, and the general fun of exploring, you're not buying a small or unpolished game here. I have a feeling that others who judge it as worth less than $30 are basing that solely on its Indie vibe, rather than on the actual length or depth of the gameplay. After all, it's not like this game is $60 or $70 like a major release would be.

I don't really play many metroidvanias, but I enjoyed this game. It's a nice little trek through an expansive dungeon, taking on various boss monsters as you clear each section. I wouldn't consider the game to have much depth or be very difficult, but it's fun for what it is. If you're a fan of the Overlord series and not adverse to the game's genre, then it's an easy sell. Otherwise, you can probably do better. In terms of gameplay... -The combat: During bosses, is very fun - definitely satisfying to learn the attack patterns and master dodging to take them down. During exploration, it's nothing to write home about - most enemies in the game are very weak and plentiful heals mean being sloppy isn't punished. -The platforming challenges: are perfectly fine I'd say. They're mostly simple, though occasionally they require more careful movement. I'm not sure how I feel about the mace that you grapple off walls with though. I might just be bad but the mace feels pretty wonky in this game. -The exploration: solid. The game's world isn't very huge, and progression to the normal end is very linear, but there are tons of optional pathways you can take if you choose to. I always love exploring game worlds and collecting treasure, so this is an easy win for me. Though, disappointingly, the in-game map is partially broken, so you can't rely on it if you're trying to go for 100% exploration. Presentation wise... -The sprite-art: very nice. I'm not an artist so I can't go into detail, but I'd say the game looks quite good. -The music: solid. Most tracks aren't incredible but there are a couple I really like. -The story: nonexistent. The story is uninteresting and the script feels phoned-in. Luckily this is easily ignored and doesn't detract from the experience. Overall I'd say this game is fairly good. Definitely not mediocre, but not quite great either.

Oct. 2025

It 's a decent metroidvania, a bit hard to understand the map, but overall a decent 10h to finish the game with everything on hard difficulty. My only big complaint is that there's achievements to collect things and finish the game in easy and normal that should automatically count if you do it in Hard.

May 2025

If you were to ask me about a game for the Overlord franchise I'd not expect a metroidvania game. Still its alright and fun enough for an any% play through so long as you get it at a discount. The game is a bit too linear for my taste and the controls could really use some work. If you like the anime/LN you'll probably like this game, but I'd also recommend to play any Metroid or Castlevania game first.
