2	''Overlord: Fellowship of Evil'' is a multiplayer dungeon crawler ActionRPG spin-off of the ''Videogame/{{Overlord}}'' series made by Creator/{{Codemasters}} and released on October 20, 2015.
3
4	After the fall of the last Overlord, the world has begun healing from the carnage and ruin caused by his reign, much to the concern of Gnarl and the Minions. Seeking a new Overlord, they decide to revive four dark champions as Netherghúls and put them through the Trials of Evil as they rampage through the lands and stop The Golden from cleansing the lands:
5
6	* '''[[PlayingWithFire Inferna]]''': Brutal Ruborian warrior who fell to rock trolls and the most straightforward melee fighter.
7	* '''[[LadyOfBlackMagic Malady]]''': A necromancer who sacrificed her life for a final curse. A ranged attacker with focused attacks.
8	* '''[[AnIcePerson Cryos]]''': A Nordbergian Dark Elf Prince who was killed by Hakon in a MutualKill. A ranged attacker who specializes in crowd control.
9	* '''Hakon''': A Dwarf who lead the bandit gang "The Utter Bastards" who met his fate at the spear of Cryos. A melee crowd-control specialist.
10
11	The game takes a GenreShift towards co-op multiplayer RPG gameplay, though Minion control returns in a limited fashion.

13	----
14	!!The game features examples of:
15
16	* ActionBomb: Rather than throwing fire, red minions carry bombs and can be ordered to suicide-bomb enemies.
17	* ArtificialStupidity: The pathfinding of Minions is utterly broken, which regularly ends up with them getting stuck on scenery, or worse, running straight into the Golden in an attempt to hit enemies, and thus turning good to fight '''you'''.
18	* DamageSponge: The champion enemies are particularly tiresome to fight.
19	* GenderEqualEnsemble: Two females (Inferna, Malady) and two males (Cryos, Hakon).
20	* GenreShift: Rather than a third-person Action RPG[=/=]RTS mix, the game is more of a ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' clone with minion control being largely simplified.
21	* GoodHurtsEvil: The Golden is a constant obstacle since just being in it makes you take damage while Minions are immediately "cutified" and become enemies. [[spoiler:At least, until the final stage, where the characters become {{Walking Wasteland}}s and are able to poison the land with their very presence]].
22	* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Averted, in that there's a ranged specialist and a melee specialist for each gender.
23	* AnIcePerson: Cryos' attacks are all ice-based and focused on slowing the enemies down.
24	* {{Knockback}}: Averted. The player character and the enemies can slice at each other indefinitely, never getting knocked back or stunned.
25	* MalevolentArchitecture: There are quite a few dungeons littered with cumbersome traps like person-sized buzzsaw blades.
26	* MookMedic: The blue Minions, summoned through picking up blue orbs in battle. Since you're the evil one, they're fighting on your side. Unless, of course, they happen to run into the Golden...
27	* ShieldsAreUseless: Two of the characters have shields, but since the game is based all around battles against large swarms of low-damage enemies, it's more efficient to just mash attack until everyone is dead, instead of trying to block against constant attacks.
28	* ShouldersOfDoom: Inferna's pauldrons are stupidly massive even compared to previous protagonists.
29	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Ricket the Blacksmith is the first female minion in the series and seems to be the only one in the game.
30	* SuddenlyVoiced: Unlike previous protagonists, the Netherghúls do have in-game dialog in the form of commands and battlecries.
31	* WorldHealingWave: The Golden, which is some sort of magical manifestation of good that can make Minions good and is downright lethal to the protagonists.
