Ah, Overlord... sweet cradle of chaos, how gloriously crooked you still stand!
Stepping back into Raising Hell feels like dusting off a cracked crown — the one you stole, probably — and marching barefoot through smoking ruins with a gleeful scream.
The minions are still idiots. Beautiful, devoted idiots, who would rob a peasant, strangle a chicken, and leap headfirst into molten doom just because you pointed vaguely in that direction.
The new realms of hell twist their little brains into even stranger shapes, offering tougher challenges and blacker laughs. And yet, the heart remains pure — pure nonsense, pure anarchy, pure stupid, wonderful loyalty.
Raising Hell doesn't fix the clumsiness or polish the rough, jagged soul of the original. No. It sharpens it, makes it wobble on the edge of madness even harder, and somehow that’s exactly what it should be.
Here, villains aren't brooding masterminds — they're tired, slightly deranged monarchs trying to keep a straight face while their army sets itself on fire for the fiftieth time.
Long may we stumble, long may we burn, and long may the goblins screech our victory into the soot-stained skies.

The game has native support for ultrawide (21:9) & super ultrawide (32:9) resolutions! :)

A classic game for sure. I haven't played it in many many years. Decided to remedy that in 2025. Had such a great time with this. Slight issues on modern hardware but nothing too terrible. Can't wait to dive into Overlord 2 now that I've finished this.
