A third-person action adventure game from the creators of Downward. In Star Overdrive we travel the open world using a hoverboard. We can also face platforming challenges and opponents, using a unique keytar to defeat them. The overall gameplay is similar to titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Star Overdrive is an action-adventure game, reminiscent of the warmly received OkunoKA in its portfolio.
In Star Overdrive we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP).
The game provides us with an open world divided into various biomes, where we will find both wastelands and ruins, as well as other remnants of an ancient civilization.
We cover large distances, speeding on our hoverboard. It is a variation of a snowboard that doesn't move on wheels, but instead hovers above the ground. The protagonist can not only rush headlong, but also use elements of the environment as jumps, as well as perform daring stunts in the air (and merge them into spectacular combinations).
In many places, however, we must put our foot down on solid ground, and take up arms. In this role, the character uses a keytar, which is a hybrid of a guitar and a keyboard. It can be helpful in beating encountered opponents. On our path, we encounter both standard adversaries and powerful bosses, and during dynamic battles, we must demonstrate agility and reflexes.
As we progress, we develop the powers of our protagonist and unlock new skills. They can allow him to do things like influence gravity or release kinetic energy. Over time we can also improve the hoverboard, increasing its speed and maneuverability, as well as modify its appearance, adapting it to individual preferences.
In Star Overdrive we play as a hero named Bios, who decides to land on the surface of an alien planet called Cebete. The protagonist plans to investigate the source of the SOS signal coming from it. Our hero hopes that he will find clues that could help him in finding his missing beloved - Nous.
The graphic design of Star Overdrive is maintained in a cartoon style, which may evoke associations with games such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
