Overload has made its way to consoles and PC. Read on to learn more.
Revival Productions’ Overload, the spiritual successor to the classic six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) tunnel shooter game Descent, is now available on PlayStation®4 for $29.99/€24.99. The Xbox One and Xbox One X will release soon. The PC version is available on Steam and GoG. Revival Productions, founded by Matt Toschlog and Mike Kulas, co-founders of legendary Parallax Software and creators of the classic Descent, created Overload as the ultimate zero-G shooter. It gives players three axes of rotation and three axes of movement unlike traditional FPS games that have only 2 axes of rotation and 2.5 axes of movement. The battle comes from all sides, above, and below, which adds to the game’s complexity and depth to control and movement, ultimately transforming the FPS genre into something completely new and challenging.
Players can expect an intense and deep single-player campaign, a highly-replayable Challenge Mode with online leaderboards, and individual and team-based online multiplayer modes. Overload offers labyrinthine environments, updated features, deeper gameplay, weapons with individual characteristics, dramatically enhanced graphics, and the ability to explore levels beyond main objectives.
