Etrange Overlord is an action RPG sent my way by NIS America, which is always appreciated. It has been a while since I worked with them, and I picked a nice title to return with. Etrange Overlord is the story of Etrange Von Rosenburg, and upper class woman obsessed with sweets. She is falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to death, and finds herself in Hell.
What is a noble woman obsessed with sweets to do in hell? Take over and get sweets, of course. Now, if you are familiar with the Disgaea series, you will feel right at home playing this one. The sense of humor is the same, and considering some of the creators are the same, this shouldn’t surprise you. There is even a bad guy named Doomaz. Yes thats said the way you probably think it is.
With adorable graphics and a cast that would be right at home in any anime, the real question becomes, how is the gameplay? Well, it is quite good, honestly. Each character feels different, and it is easy to switch between them at the touch of a button. With items floating around the battlefield to either power you up or toss at enemies that come at you in waves, you will never feel at a loss for something to do during battles. More importantly, with up to 4 players online, there is plenty of strategy involved for those who care to partake in this. You can beat the game without ever doing this. I never found myself being punished for wanting to play solo, as the AI-controlled players are more than competent.
The real question is, do you enjoy these types of games? It is a 9/10 title from NIS America; any fan of theirs or the genre should pick it up. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
