I've now spent almost four hours with the game, and its biggest problem is that it's not enough of a Pikmin clone. Overlord is not a strategy game, it's more of an adventure game. The world you explore isn't nearly as interesting as the one in Pikmin and the indoor environments are worse then the caves in Pikmin 2. Also, the whole "Being Evil" factor seems really hamstrung. They should have done more with that. Still, the game is worthwhile. It starts off slow, but once you acquire the Red Pik... er, Minions, some interesting puzzles and boss battles are to be had.
