The value story
Across all 47 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 60 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 85 percent. Moonscars ($19.99, scores 51) outscores it, and so does Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore ($19.99, scores 71). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
More about OVERLORD: ESCAPE FROM NAZARICK
Steam's global achievement data puts about 17 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 5.8-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 6 of the 475 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2022 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,362 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 673 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 180 reviews written there were positive, against 65 percent overall, and those are 36 percent of everything written about it.
At 5.8 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
I love the level design and the overall play style. Some of the movement tec is hard to get used to, but after a certain point the flow seems to work well. Generally its an amazing game and fun to play.

Pretty generic Metroidvania-style game using the Overlord IP. It was straightforward, and nothing really stood out to me. I will say that having to do separate playthroughs on Easy, Normal, and Hard to get 100% was annoying. I beat Normal first, assuming it would unlock the Easy achievement as well, but I was wrong... So if you're going for 100%, be prepared to do 3 playthroughs. (6/10)
My favorite parts of the game: 1) Difficulty achievements do not stack. So I can be forced to replay my favorite parts of the game 2 more times at a minimum. 2) The absolute nonstop "freeze the gameplay so some stupid animation can play out" that plagues the entire final third of the game. This is truly what every action-focused game needs, and the fact that more games don't do this is terrible. 3) You pay mana for...
