5+ Games That Let You Be Unapologetically EVIL

EVIL

Sometimes even the most paragon-like of gamers get the urge to get away from the usual good-making and justice-bringing and delve into the realm of Evil. Let’s check out the best games that let you be as evil as you want and make no apologies about it!

Tyranny

In the world of Tyranny, evil has already won. Kyros the Overlord has the entire world under their thumb – except for a single region known as the Tiers that still manages to struggle. As a Fatebinder in the Overlord’s army, you wield a vast amount of power in the occupied lands of the Tiers. Will you use that to inspire stability and loyalty, or will you try to offer a better way? Do you stay loyal to your betters? Or do you have the vision and the will to challenge the order of things?




Overlord 2

Overlord 2 and its prequel take place in a bright fantasy world where you, yes, you, are the darkness. With incredible power at your disposal and a team of evil-minded minions to do your evil bidding, how will you resist the temptation to be incredibly despotic? THINK EVIL, BREED EVIL, CONTROL ALL!

You can ravage the land like a moody Tsunami; razing cities, forests and Imperial camps to the ground just because they looked at you funny. Your Minions are angry little Swiss army knives of pain: They can ride into battle on wolves and other magical creatures, loot the best weapons from stomped enemies, pillage houses for treasure, operate fearsome war machines, infiltrate enemy camps and polish your armor so thoroughly you’ll blind passing wildlife.




Dungeons 3

Descendant of the classic Dungeon Keeper, Dungeons series The Dungeon Lord has finally united his forces of evil. With his dark empire stable, he launches onto the next step of his plan. What can it possibly be? Expansion, of course!

Unleash your dark side in Dungeons 3 by creating a unique underground dungeon from a huge array of rooms, traps, and structures. Raise the most terrifying army the world has ever seen, by choosing from despicable creatures such as orcs, succubae, zombies and much, much more. Then, once you have built your forces, emerge from the darkness and guide your army to the light of the overworld, where you will corrupt the land and dispatch anything even vaguely heroic, cute or unicorn-shaped. And in a first for the Dungeons series, experience randomly generated levels, so that no two sessions are alike – never-ending fun for any evil conqueror!




Evil Genius

Everybody wants to rule the world! Achieve global power with EVIL GENIUS, the one and only complete world domination simulator. All the everyday tasks of the deliciously wicked mastermind are available to experience and master from building your ultra-secret base to developing spectacular super-weapons to carry out your nefarious master plan. How evil are you?




Undead Horde

The previous games have covered grounds for demons and evil people doing evil things. But there is a very important chunk missing: where are my Undead at?! (besides burning Teldrassil, that is old already).

Meet Undead Horde and learn that offending a necromancer was a grave mistake! Maraud through the lands of the living, raze their villages and steal their treasures. Re-animate all kinds of creatures and build an army of up to 100 undead to join you in your rightful – if evil – crusade.




Rogue Lords

Rogue Lords is a dark fantasy roguelike in which you play as the devil, which means you can change some of the game’s rules to your advantage! Run after run, manage your team of famous evil geniuses as they encounter unforeseen events and turn-based combat. Unlock new skills, create powerful synergies and use your powers to turn the situation in your favour at critical moments. Only by collecting ancient artefacts can you finally take your revenge on the Demon Hunters.




Bonus!

Black & White 2

That was a good run, but don’t you find being a loyal evil servant or henchman, an overlord or even the last of the necromancers is kind of… mundane? If so, I have just the game for you. Become an EVIL GOD with Black & White 2 and rain terror on your enemies and followers alike! You even get to have a divine animal avatar!

Currently, finding Black & White 2 is an entire challenge unless you already have the CD from back in the day. Wishlist it on GoG to see it return!

  1. I’d add CoV (City Of Villians) 🙂

  2. How could you forget Evil Genius? That game never gets the attention it deserves.
