Game mechanics

Overlord: Escape from Nazarick features side-scrolling action. Clementine begins her journey through the Great Tomb of Nazarick unarmed and stripped of her former abilities. Moving through the gloomy locations, the girl gradually regains her magical abilities, gains more and more powerful weapons (such as a dagger, a sword or a great hammer) and upgrades her already existing weapons. Thanks to this, over time she can not only get to places that were previously locked for her (for example, the protagonist will deal with the vegetation blocking her way only after she learns how to throw fireballs), but also face increasingly powerful enemies, including bosses.

Clashes are dynamic, and during them we have to not only skillfully use magic and make good use of weapons, but also show dexterity and reflexes. The reflexes are also useful during the exploration of the tomb, because it involves jumping on platforms and avoiding numerous traps set for Clementine.
