"In Etrange Overlord, you play as the most fearsome villain in the world, who has a desperate need to eat sweets - because it literally sustains her life force. Also, you're in hell. Oh, and it's a musical. There's a lot going on in Etrange Overlord, but if I told you it's the new game from Disgaea creator Sohei Niikawa, it would probably make a lot more sense, as he has a real penchant for setting games in the afterlife."
"After playing Etrange Overlord for two hours, it's quickly gone from a passing fascination to something I'll absolutely be sinking more time into. It's a delightfully charming and sometimes delirious little game that fully carries on the Disgaea DNA, from its humor to its surprisingly complex gameplay. Etrange Overlord follows Lady Etrange von Rosenburg, a noblewoman executed for an assassination attempt on the royal family."
Etrange Overlord centers on Lady Etrange von Rosenburg, a noblewoman executed for attempting to assassinate the royal family who awakens in hell. Her survival depends on consuming sweets, which literally sustain her life force, and she uses magic and an overbearing personality to bend demons to her will. The game blends tactical combat with a world map of missions, short cutscenes, side quests, and optional content. Humor alternates between dry wit and slapstick, including a running gag about her gaunt, skeletal face when deprived of sweets. Etrange Overlord is a full-fledged musical with characters bursting into song, and it favors snappy pacing to balance its fusion of styles.
