A playable demo for Codemaster's Overlord II became available today. The full game comes out in North American on June 23rd.

Overlord II is an action adventure game. You play as an evil bad summoner dude, who wants to wreck havoc because he is such an evil bad summoner dude. Also, being an evil bad summoner dude, your goal in life is to become the King of Chaos. Apparently their is an opening in your kingdom for the position of King of Chaos.

You get most stuff accomplished via these imp minion-types you can get working for you. For example, say there are some pesky warrior dudes after you -- you can call up some red imps guys to toss fireballs at them. That sort of thing.

Interested PC gamers can download the demo here. Interested PS3 gamers can get the demo from the Playstation Store, of course.
