![]() You can use them to pick up relics for spells, max health, and mana increase as well. Summoning your minions is done via hives located throughout the levels. Using warp gates, you can quickly move from one area to another. You even have a mini-map with a compass that shows you your current objective. Everything works like a chain and it is never too hard to figure out what is expected of you. Then you use greens to absorb the gas before sending blues to turn the wheel. Say you have a turning wheel, but it has green gas pods around it. To solve simple environmental puzzles, certain amounts of minions are required. Later on, you will gain green (which absorb poison), blue (which can go into the water), and red (which can absorb fire) which are all needed at all times. You will first gain brown minions, who are your basic fighting grunts and are no good at anything but looting, pillaging, and beating on things. Minions come in red, blue, green, and brown and they are all unique in their own annoying, evil, and destructive little way. When it comes to actual gameplay Dark Legend is decent at best. Setting markers is done with the + button, and this allows you to tell a certain color minion to stay and attack for ambushing or get enemies you can’t reach. You can switch between different colored minions with the left, right, and down D-pad. There are no combo upgrades or anything like that. Yep, that is all folks just wave the ‘ol remote around or tap that lonely little Z button. All you do is swing your weapon with the Z button or wave your Wii-mote around. Wow, genius! Ok maybe not, but the fighting mechanics of the game are definitely not so genius. You just hold down the – button, move the cursor over your spell and let go. Unlike the minion sweeping, switching magic spells is really simple. Just holding down the B button on the other side is no good you have to “drag” them over there which is a serious… drag. This becomes very frustrating when you have several enemies hitting you and you need your minions to go across a log to cross a stream (only blue minions can go into the water). ![]() No, you have to put the cursor right in front of them like a carrot held in front of a donkey to get them to move. You can’t just move the cursor anywhere and hope that the little guys will follow. I know this sounds just fine, but wait, don’t get too excited yet! There’s a problem with this setup the AI is pretty dumb. When you actually get your first set of minions, you sweep them by holding down the B button and moving them around on the screen with the cursor. The Prince is controlled with the analog stick, the camera can be reset, and you can move the camera manually by holding down C and moving the cursor around the screen. You play the game with the remote and Nunchuk. Now you are probably thinking: “That sounds evil enough for me, but can I play the game to fit my evil Overlord ways?” The answer is, of course, you can, but it will require a little bit of patience so sit back and take some notes.
