The story of Overlord begins where other end. Seven heroes return after their victory over the dark ruler 'Overlord' home. Sorry, no happy ending for these heroes, because each of them is plagued by one of the seven deadly sins. Thus, the halfling, a sort of common version of a hobbit with ingrown toenails, plagued by gluttony. However, the player does not crawl - as expected - in the skin of these heroes, but should get started as the dark ruler who defeated backward in what was once an impressive tower. If Overlord is intended to stave off hunger. Revenge on the seven heroes Help in the quest comes from the Minions, a kind of gremlin-like creatures, who are hyperactive and laughing at the player jump around and dance.

The choice between good and evil is somewhat similar, though it is in the Overlord longer a choice between bad and uber-bad. As the character is worse, it will also be seen in his appearance. In the home, the tower resemblance to the Tower of Sauron from Lord of the Rings, the player can customize the look of his character itself and even the tower is to tweak at will. Because the dark lord has his hands full with inventing harassment against the seven heroes, but the tower is not always clean with.
