Role: Game Designer Genre: Strategy

Overview

OVERLORD is a narrative-driven third-person action-adventure game with deep RPG systems, designed for mobile platforms with live service components. Players assume the role of Ray, a 32-year-old warrior sent back in time to his 12-year-old self but retaining his Combat expertise and memories. This unique premise creates an emotional journey of redemption, power progression, and dark fantasy storytelling.

Final Thoughts

This project taught me valuable lessons about balancing game complexity with player accessibility. Creating systems that are easy to learn but difficult to master proved challenging but rewarding.
