Play Overlord: Minions Online

Summary

Overlord: Minions turns the Nintendo DS stylus into a mischievous command stick for an evil mastermind. I guide a quirky Special Forces squad—Giblet the melee‑muscle, Blaze the fire‑throwing pyromaniac, Stench the sneaky scout, and Zap the aquatic healer—by tapping, dragging and sweeping across the touch screen. Each minion’s unique skill set feels like a tiny puzzle piece, and the game rewards quick, precise gestures as I juggle combat and brain‑teasing obstacles.

The visual vibe leans into a stylised cartoon world where the minions’ slapstick antics amplify the series’ trademark humour. While the Overlord himself stays off‑screen, his minion master Gnarl nudges the crew toward a larger goal: hunting down the Kindred cult that seeks to resurrect the Dragon Kin, a race of humanoid dragon hybrids threatening the Overlord’s rule. The blend of fast‑paced action, quirky characters and DS‑only touch controls makes the title feel both fresh and familiar for fans of the franchise.

Storyline

In Overlord: Minions the elite squad of Giblet, Blaze, Stench and Zap serve Overlord Gromgard, acting as his most independent and trained minions. Their first assignment sends them into the Withering Woods to stop a mysterious fungal ooze that is infecting both plants and the Overlord’s human subjects. The squad discovers the source is a sentient fungus called Globulous, which they defeat before entering the massive sewer pipes that fed the infestation.

The pipes lead to the halfling settlement of Briarthorn Burrows, where the Kindred cult is plotting to resurrect the extinct Dragon‑Kin, a Human‑Dragon race. After tearing through the town, the minions confront and dispatch Grub, a halfling Kindred lieutenant.

The journey continues to Cloudland Keep atop Shimmer Mountain, where they eliminate Lady Opal, the crystalline Kindred lieutenant commanding the human forces. They then press on to the Fossilized Temple of the Dragon‑Kin, battle dwarven defenders and defeat Duggen, a mutant dwarf lieutenant.

In the Floating Forest the minions crush the Kindred’s elven army and slay Ash, a dragon‑elf hybrid lieutenant. Their final assault on Dragonspire pits them against Silas Silvanus, the last Dragon‑Kin and Kindred leader, who summons his strongest experiment, Tiberius, before both are destroyed, ending the Kindred threat for good.
