To make things worse, his older brother and sister are planning to usurp his father.
On his sixteenth birthday, he is given a suit of armor that belonged to his uncle, the Black Baron, which allows him to take his place as the Overlord.
As in the other Overlord games, you'll do fairly little of your own fighting.
Most of the game is played through manipulating your minions.
You direct your minions with the Wiimote and move the overlord himself with the Nunchuck.
There are four types of minions: You start with browns, who are good melee fighters.
As you progress, you gain reds, who are are immune to fire and can attack from a distance with fireballs, blues, who are healers and can swim and greens, who can turn invisible and clear poison.
Minions are summoned by spending life force, which you gain from fallen enemies.
Unlike other games in the series, this is not color specific.
Gromgard can make his minions attack a specific target, which could be an enemy or an object.
Minions collect weapons and armor from enemies and things they smash and use them to improve their abilities.
He can also throttle a minion, which causes them to explode.
Different minions do different kinds of damage.
He can quick-kill them for a boost of mana or health, depending on minion type, or make them sacrifice themselves in a blood or mana pit for a larger boost of mana or health.
Mana and health can also be refilled more traditionally by picking up items or having the minions do it.
He can control where the minions go by placing waypoints.
All active minions will stay there until told to move.
Game progression is represented by a map.
Each section of the map has its own sub-map.

About Nintendo Wii
Launched in 2006, the Wii's motion controls (Wii Remote) brought casual and non-traditional players into console gaming at a scale no prior system had achieved, making it one of the best-selling consoles ever. Because so many Wii units sold with bundled software like Wii Sports, the bulk of the library is inexpensive to collect — but it also means truly rare Wii titles (often niche Japanese-only releases) stand out sharply from the norm.
Gamevaro tracks Overlord: Dark Legend for Nintendo Wii with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Overlord: Dark Legend to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WII release dates back to 2009.
