Overfall Review – Delightful Masochism

The evolution of video games as an acceptable mainstream pastime isn’t without its negatives, not the least of which is the sacrifice of challenging gameplay as developers fight over the meatiest chunks of the market. On occasion, however, some developers dare to stray from the pack and fill an otherwise forgotten niche clamoring for the challenges that used to be, before the dawn of quicksaves, mindless damage sponge enemies and QTEs. The list is small but elite, including games like Demon Souls, The Binding of Isaac, Darkest Dungeon and now, Pera Game‘s very own Overfall.

Playing Overfall is equal parts addictive and emotional. Gameplay is one part strategy and two parts luck, relying heavily on random events ranging from power-appropriate quests, potentially crippling handicap attributes, consumption of limited food to heal your otherwise permanently bloodied team, and a constantly growing swarm of Nordic, dimension-traveling pillagers, the Vorn. This, of course, is all in addition to typical battle modifiers that can swing even decisive battles in an unexpected direction, such as missed hits and criticals that can destroy mage and rogue-esque companions in a single blow.

Score: 8.5/10

Summary: An incredibly challenging experience tempered by engaging gameplay and a beautiful, hand-drawn world.
