Overlord Mode (Phase Shift Overlord in-game) is an unique ability of the Summoner. Activating this mode sets the player's camera to a top-down perspective and alters the controls to a scheme reminiscent of traditional Real-Time Strategy games. Phase Shift is also activated (if it is not active already).

In Overlord Mode, the Summoner is able to summon and command minions, as well as manage his team's defenses: upgrade, sell and repair, anywhere on the map, all while being intangible to enemies and defenses.
