Perfect Intense First Person Ship Combat
Well, almost perfect. But I'll get to that later. So I never played the Descent games, so I can only say as a big boomer shooter fan, Overload ticks all the boxes. Here's what I enjoyed most about the game: - Insane weapon variety. You actually get a total of 16 weapons to use. That's absolutely nuts and is almost too much since there's not enough key bindings to dedicate to each weapon. Two weapons are bound to one key (the keys 1 through 8 by default). You can scroll through them quickly with mouse scroll, but I just used the number keys. They're all well balanced and unique. - Good character progression. So you can also upgrade your weapons and ship features (like damage taken, energy usage and speed) with upgrade points you find throughout the campaign. Each weapon has different upgrade paths, so you can tailor each weapon to how you wanna play the game (weapons with better tracking abilities, fire speed, damage, etc). - Incredible music. Each of the 16 levels in the campaign have unique music tracks and I loved every one. They have a heavy synthwave feel, kind of similar to Ghostrunner, Hotline Miami and System Shock 2's music. - Tons of different enemies. There's around a dozen or so different enemies with completely different tactics. Some will beeline towards you with melee weapons or to self destruct. Some might fire homing missiles at you and even become camouflaged and teleport around. Some you will shred apart and some are heavily armored, huge flying tanks. All of them are really fun to fight. Unfortunately, I have a couple problems with Overload. - Game runs perfectly except on levels 13, 14 and definitely 15. No framerate dips or crashes, but can stutter a lot during chaotic fights. - No upgrade points on levels 13-16. The environment changes a lot during the end, and exploration isn't incentivized besides for powerups and big ammo supplies. Ultimately, I just had too much fun to remove any stars on my review!
