The player is locked into an arena with a seeming unending stream of goody-goody foes to kill. The final combat portion makes up the bulk of the proceedings. Proceeding through the game’s lengthy levels devolves into one of three things: solve a simple puzzle, navigate through environmental hazards as quickly as possible in a timed race, or slog through unending mobs of, well, mobs to reach the end. What follows is an action/RPG with no real loot or new skills to learn. Ranking goblin minions Gnarl and Ricket find this frightfully boring and resurrect a previous example of true evilness to fix the issue.

It begins with the player choosing one of four characters to control, two ranged and two melee. Those hoping for some form of an Overlord 3 will find find themselves brutally disappointed.įellowship of Evil is an isometric Diablo-clone where the player is able to call on four color minions to aid the spread of chaos. (Switch out Gnarl for Cheney, and holy crap! This allusion becomes apt.) Despite what it says on the tin, none of the strategy that comes into play from positioning minions can be found in this latest title.
