Overlord: A Dark Fantasy Adventure Game Developed by Triumph Studios and Published by Codemasters

In Overlord, players take on the role of a resurrected warrior known as The Overlord who has control over hordes of gremlin-like creatures called 'minions'. The game is set in an unnamed fantasy world where the player must defeat seven corrupt ruling heroes to reconquer the lands and establish their lordship over its inhabitants.

Developed by Triumph Studios and published by Codemasters, Overlord was released for Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, and PlayStation 3. The game features a third-person action-adventure gameplay style with a unique twist - players have control over an army of minions who can be commanded to do various tasks such as fighting, carrying objects, or even playing musical instruments.

The game received generally favorable reviews upon its release in 2007, helping to boost overall sales for Codemasters that year. An expansion pack called Overlord: Raising Hell was also released, which added new multiplayer maps and a local split-screen co-op mode.

Overlord II, a sequel to the original game, was announced in 2007 along with two spin-off games - Overlord: Dark Legend for the Wii and Overlord: Minions for the Nintendo DS. A PlayStation 3 version of the game, also entitled Overlord: Raising Hell, was released in Europe on June 20, 2008, and in North America on June 24, 2008.

The development of Overlord began in early 2006 and took over a year and a half to complete. The game was first announced in May 2006, with gameplay being unveiled at E3 2006. The former two versions of the game were released in North America on June 26, 2007, followed by releases in Europe on June 29, 2007, and Australia on July 6, 2007.

Overall, Overlord is a unique and entertaining game that offers a fresh take on the action-adventure genre. With its dark fantasy setting, engaging gameplay, and lovable minions, it's no wonder why the game received positive reviews and helped boost sales for Codemasters in 2007.
