Overlord: Raising Hell/ is a surprising game on so many levels. It's surprising that it hasn't been a bigger hit, given its simple yet involving gameplay. The basic premise of the game is simple and yet the difficulty curve is deceptive: at the beginning, throwing hordes of minions at enemies will get you by, but as the game progresses strategy becomes more important, and throwing hordes of minions into a battle will do little other than get those minions killed.
It's surprising that you get so attached to your minions too. Perhaps it's just that it's a shame to waste all that armour they've collected, or perhaps naming them all was a mistake. Of course, you can create new minions as needed, but it's not quite the same. You'll never be able to replace young Minion #7.
It's also surprising that you'll want to keep coming back to play more. There's at least fifteen or twenty hours of gameplay here, and once you've done that, there's the option to do it all again on legendary difficulty. Since you'll often be exploring several different realms in parallel, if you get stuck there's always another realm to explore in the meantime.
