I just loved Overlord. The gameplay is a very interesting mix of action and strategy. The 2nd game had even more intricated strategic challenges.
I also loved the fact you could step in and be a difference maker during fights, either by boosting your minions, doing AoE damaging spells or just whack the hell out of the ennemies.
I heard Pikmin was very similar in general gameplay, but I am not sure if you could actually join the fight of your minions in that game.
I was wondering if anyone knew of other games with similar gameplay. I'd think a grittier version of Overlord, with a player as a Necromancer would probably have a lot of potential. I am just wondering why we don't see much more of these games...?
