Overgrowth

released on Oct 16, 2017

Feel like the star of a martial arts film in Overgrowth, as you jump, kick, throw, and slash your way to victory. Free the rabbits from their evil overlords in the main story, then play through the prequel story, and finally, try out nine years of mods developed by the community, or create your own!

i want more experimental games like this

The combat is fantastic and satisfying, the platforming is fun and responsive. But the story is barely a story and not the best written. I never rolled my eyes or anything at it, or found it boring, it's set dressing more than anything. More of a, "Here's more of a reason to kill these people!" than an actual story. Also, the game is short. It took me 8 hours to beat all the pre-made campaigns, that being said, all of them had really good levels with fantastic gameplay. And one even had a good story! (at least in comparison to the others) that being Therium-2 which I highly recommend, multiple endings, ways to beat the level, secrets, etc. The main campaign and it's prequel are fun too, with very well made levels and scenarios. But this game ultimately feels like a tech-demo or early access to show what the dev is capable of.

Would I recommend this game at full price? No, unless the gameplay just really calls to you. Half price off or around that for everyone else? For sure. The gameplay is great, the mods are quite great too! Speaking of, if you're a rougelike fan, there's a fully working randomized world rougelike that has tons of new mechanics and an open world to explore, so that in itself will add many hours to this game for fans of that type of gameplay. Ultimately I recommend it, just either wait for a sale, or if it really seems like your type of thing, get it now.

I did enjoy this game when playing it for youtube because I got to be silly and do voices for each character, in terms of sitting down and playing it in silence for the enjoyment however. It would probably be a different story. The fighting in the game can be very simple to the point where you can pull similar moves during the whole playthrough of the game. The story I would argue is good, the way it is told is mild but I didn't mind it. I would recommend this game on a sale.

I don't know why I was ever excited for this garbage

so so fun a game i always come back to just for gameplay but not much story

Cool game engine and mechanics! But that's all there is to this game. More investment to the narrative, presentation and substance would have been nice, rather than overreliance on modders.
