Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is a spin-off from the main Overlord series, with the storyline taking place after the events of Overlord II, after the Fourth Overlord has perished. Rather than focusing on a new Overlord, the game is centered around Co-Op gameplay featuring four new "candidates" for the Overlord throne; the Netherghuls! The Netherghūls must work together to stop the advance of a force known as The Golden, which is slowly turning all things dark and nasty into sunshine and rainbows; including the minions!
