Overfall - Early Access Review

The Nerd Stash has reviewed the Early Access version of Overfall and likes it:

On paper Overfall sounds like a dream come true for any fan of role-playing games.  With a feature list that includes permanent hero death, procedural world generation, and challenging and addictive turn-based combat. So you can understand why I was very excited to get my hands on it when Pera Games was kind enough to send us a copy to review.

Overfall is ambitious and daring, not to mention beautiful and spirited. The developers have taken elements from strategy-focused RPGs, Roguelikes, and procedurally generated open world games and thrown them together into one large hand-drawn mixing bowl. With so many different features the game could easily suffer from inconsistency in quality, thankfully that’s mostly not the case.

My only real complaints with the game so far are a few difficulty balancing issues, and the generic main storyline. I did come across numerous typos and grammatical errors as well, although since the game is still in early access these will inevitably be corrected. At a completely reasonable price of $9.99, there is no reason you shouldn’t pick up this awesome game. If you are looking for a deep, open RPG, with great replay value then I would readily recommend Overfall.

Pros

• Great hand-drawn graphics and atmospheric presentation
• Fun and engaging turn-based battle system
• Deep story building features adds longevity to game

Cons

• Generic main story
• Sometimes difficulty spikes with no warning
• Still some spelling and grammatical errors to work out

Score: 4/5 - Amazing
