Overlord, Overlord: Raising Hell and Overlord II are all now available on Steam for Linux. Overlord II is also a brand new port today!

Note: You may have issues if you previously purchased them from bundles and other random stores. VP has reached out to Codemasters to add Linux to them. If you're only buying it now, you will be fine.

You can see my previous thoughts on Overlord and Overlord: Raising Hell in my previous article here.

I think Overlord + Overlord: Raising Hell are well worth the money and Virtual Programming did a cracking good job on them.

As for Overlord II, it's a brand new port! I had even shorter notice than last time being told only on the day it's released. So you will have to wait until later tonight for any thoughts on it. In future I'm sure I will get more time to cover VP's ports properly. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: FredOI got these games in a Codemasters Humble Bundle a couple of years ago, and they are currently not downloading. Need to wait for Codemasters to activate them I guess.

I have the same pack with the keys of this game not redeamed.. And I have another codemasters pack from Indiegala...
I wonder if those keys will work

Quoting: darkszlufthe game does not work on MESA Radeonsi, you'll need fglrx or amdgpu-pro in order to play it.

That bug has been fixed. https://github.com/virtual-programming/overlord-linux/issues/2

QuoteCodemasters have advised us that bundles that were available to purchase prior to the release of the Mac and Linux version do not qualify for a free copy of the game for the new platforms. These special bundles were sold purely for the supported platform at that time.

Well I guess I won't be playing Overlord anytime soon.
(1 I don't wanna buy it again, 2 can you even buy it when you own it on steam?)
