Overfall

Heartily recommended!

Being a gamer since before ZX Spectrum, I've witnessed it all. The good the bad and under the kitchen sink. Disillusioned with recent AAA titles I reached for Overfall and it has kept me coming back for another go for close to 20 playthroughs now. The music score is excellent, doesn't get annoying after many hours of gameplay. The sound effects are very satisfactorily squishy slashy where necessary. The art style looks simple but is spot on with attention to detail. Chibi style characters that over time grow on You and make You laugh with appropriate story context. Well written short stories in humorous light style that will force You to revisit them time and again. Numerous witty references to well known games, books, products, songs. At it's core it's a roguelike with turn based tactical combat, some resource management, a bit of trade and unlockables that allure to try the game from a slightly different perspective. Three decently tailored difficulty settings allow for a more forgiving experience. All of the above outlined positives together offer more than just the sum of their parts! Haven't experienced a single crash or hang of any sort. Downsides? Yes, unfortunately, the GOG release (GOG-3) doesn't offer the Story Creator Mode, which supposedly allows community users to create new content. (Hopefully added soon GOG?)
