12 itemsAbout the Game
The Chronicles of Overlord is a tactical RPG set in a world torn apart by war between humans, elves, orcs, and other races. An ancient evil known as the Devourer threatens to consume the world, and only the Overlord—a resurrected master of necromancy—is aware of the approaching catastrophe. To prevent the annihilation of all life, he must seize four legendary artifacts, each guarded by the mighty rulers of their peoples.
