While it retains similar gameplay mechanics, the game introduces unique content and leverages the Wii controller for a distinct experience. Reception has been mixed, with critics lauding its humor and story, yet noting issues with animation quality, brevity, and an overall lack of challenge.
Dark Legend is a spinoff of the 2007 video game Overlord, and is set as a prequel. The gameplay is similar to Overlord, but presents some differences. While the game does not have several features of the original game or its sequel, Overlord II, it offers some new content and a new gameplay style taking advantage of the Wii controller.
Reviews of the game are mixed: praising the humour, story, and controls of the game, but finding problems with the animation, short game length, and lack of complexity or difficulty.
