OverDrive X is an awesome hack and slash adventure game powered by the UE4 engine.
It’s a Rambo-style game where all you need (or want) to do is chop up some enemies and watch the gore fly. The game takes place in a futuristic cyberpunk environment where foreign tech from the future is visibly seen in the setting, enemies, and even weapons.
If you’ve played games like Devil May Cry, you’ll already be familiar with the style. Aliens have been discovered on other planets like Mars and they’ve effectively created a new race dubbed “The Evolved.”
The game in its current state isn’t really a game but more of a prototype. So far, there’s not much story to it other than what you just read and that you’re some hero trying to stop the aliens from experimenting on more people by traveling through multiple planets and throughout space itself.
However, so far the combat system looks very impressive. It’s really just action-packed arcade-style nonstop button mashing and swinging your weapons to do awesome attacks that look extremely flashy on screen.
The game’s combat has enemies that spawn over a large city with lots of baddies to chop up. You can pull off amazing moves, combos, and slice and dice your enemies into gore clouds. There’s even an ability for you to transform into some monster.
I assume this is the “overdrive” mode in the title.
Either way, the demo is still very early in dev, so it’ll be a while before the game rolls out into a beta. It’s still a combat system to be on the lookout for. You can play the demo of it just to try i out. Being on the UE4 framework makes the game super realistic and fun to play.
OverDrive X is a game I’ll be watching. Stay tuned for updates. This is one action-packed cyberpunk title that does the combat right.
- Awesome hack and slash combat
- Combos, flashy attacks, and lots of button mashing
- Gore, gore, gore
- The combat is nice, but what about the rest of the game?
