Those with an evil streak can set out to be the ultimate badass by reigning with a cruel fist, ordering their Minion army to cause wanton destruction and torture innocents for no reason whatsoever. Alternatively they can approach the game as a good guy, using the imps at their control to battle evil and save helpless townsfolk.
