Ahead of the 26 March release date, a new gameplay trailer for Etrange Overlord has been released. The action-RPG is the first game from SuperNiche games and is headed up by former NIS CEO, Sohei Niikawa.
You play Étrange von Rosenburg a duchess who has been accused of murdering the king and is swiftly executed for it. Finding herself in hell, she decides to take the place over, recruiting minions to battle the attacking forces and bring her sweets.
The new trailer goes through the mechanics of Etrange Overlord, including the sweets you can make, the minions you can befriend and the unique rail system that carries you around the map.
