The other Overlord games see you guide a host of minions under the guise of the malevolent avatar himself, but this time you're offered direct control of the underlings themselves, as Overlord Minions mixes puzzles with action on the popular handheld.

For our latest Overlord Minions coverage, click here to download PlayZine Issue 30 for free.Utilising touchscreen controls, you combine the powers of Blaze, Stench, Giblet and Bolt to get past obstacles and enemies in an attempt to prevent your master from being overthrown. Each has his own ability - for example, Bolt can heal other minions and himself, while Blaze can burn certain objects.
Getting past some of the trickier obstacles requires a bit of head-scratching, but otherwise this is a hugely accessible game, with well-realised stylus controls which only degenerate into sloppiness when combat comes to the fore. A humorous adventure with plenty of charm, Overlord Minions is designed as a perfect accompaniment to Overlord: Dark Legend on Wii.
