![]() ![]() Maybe I’m just a sucker for medieval fantasy settings, especially when a little magic is thrown in, but I absolutely loved everything about the world in Overlord. Aside from this, enough complications are introduced with meaningful consequences to keep things entertaining, but the outcome is never in question. Without anyone else from Yggdrasil, there’s a constant air of mystery surrounding the circumstances of what occured. Though, he clings to the hope that there are others that share his fate. The fact that he isn’t exactly human, which is brought up consistently throughout the show, brings something fresh to the table as well.

However, the lack of someone that the main character can relate his situation to opens up intriguing paths for the story to take. There isn’t much that sets Overlord apart from similar anime. Instead of being kicked off the server, he found himself placed in an unknown medieval fantasy world! Now trapped alongside the numerous NPCs that his guild owned, Momonga plans to use his god-like RPG abilities to make the most of his unique situation. Resolved to wait in-game until midnight, he reminisces on his guild’s legacy, alone. After venting his frustrations of being the only one willing to wait up all night, Momonga settles in for his final experience within Yggdrasil, only for it to never end. ![]() While most people have made peace with this fact, seasoned player Momonga wants to see this game through to the absolute end. As one of many in a wildly popular genre, Overlord accentuates what it needs to remain relevant.įollowing its twelve years of uptime, DMMO-RPG (Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) Yggdrasil is shutting down its servers. ![]() In saying that, there’s isn’t any need to. Overlord makes the most of these aspects, but doesn’t build upon them at all. Not to mention how it’s almost a guarantee that the most powerful player will, unsurprisingly, beat the odds in every situation presented to them. There’s only so many times I can watch an awkward harem form, without fail, around a socially inept geek. Albeit, every defining feature of the trapped in the game genre is beginning to become stale. The culmination of every defining feature of the trapped in the game genre has led to Overlord. ![]()
