6 Games Where You Play as the Bad Guy

The Overlord – Overlord

Recommended Videos
Overlord, Bad Guy

After a long slumber, you are awakened from your tomb by two companions. They help you suit up and reclaim your old base of operations.

Now, this has the makings of a game about a gallant knight and his friends taking back the kingdom from evil, right? Well, if you paid attention to the title whatsoever, you’d know that Overlord is actually the exact opposite of that premise.

In this action RPG, Players take control of the titular Overlord, using their influence over lesser beings, gremlin-like creatures known as Minions, to conquer the kingdom it once ruled.

Players are given a choice to be evil or really evil, building on the corruption that humankind has already got started for you.
