- OVERWHELM is an action horror-world platformer where enemies power-up and you don’t.
- Horror-world Exploration: Explore the oppressive caverns of the hive, guided only by a sparse map. Enemies can appear from anywhere at any time.
- Bosses Give Enemies Power-Ups: As you defeat each of the five unique bosses, their abilities get distributed to the enemies of the world with escalating difficulty.
- Tactile, Tense Combat: Combat is crunchy and fast. One hit and you die. Three deaths and the run is over. Defeat bosses in different orders to optimize your playthrough.
- Intense Soundtrack & Soundscape: The sparse but powerful soundscape keeps you focused and scared. The soundtrack provides occasional ominous synths to compliment intense boss fights and big moments.

i beat the game :D
intense
Hesitant yes, while the core gameplay is fun and the setting drips in style you'll find your playtime artificially padded by cheap enemy kills. The game does a lot to put you under pressure and give you the experience of "when you have nowhere left to go but forward, you'd better not hesitate." Because a second spent double guessing your next move is a second too late to react to an enemy leaping at you offscreen. In many cases this can be predicted as "they can't move midair so as long as I keep moving they won't get me" but at the same time they can simply spawn in the next area and you're going to run into them without being aware they exist. This sums up most of the deaths you will experience in this game. Chokepoints to other areas will get you killed, it is not a may. In saying this the gameplay feels deliciously desperate and your control over the character is excellent if a bit vaguely explained. I'll fill in some gaps the game does not tell you; 1. You can airdash using the right click punch instead of spacebar. 2. Punches throw you in the direction of the cursor, you do not get sent straight forward. 3. If you accidentally uppercut while wall jumping you cannot use it in self defence until you touch the ground. 4. Wall jumping also uses the mouse as a directional input and doesn't work if the mouse is above your character. 5. You cannot shoot your weapon while throwing a melee dash, this should dissuade you from spamming it. 6. Bosses that are not monstrously large can be knocked back by the punch.
Counting your remaining shots while planning your return from a boss battle is one of the best parts of this game and is the reason why it is a thumbs up. All in all it does give the impression of fighting for your life and lives up to the name. But it also suffers from poor design decisions around camera control and teleporting bosses that are used as a shortcut to throw off players that get into a rhythm. Ultimately resulting in unavoidable deaths, even if your reactions are acute.
Lo recomiendo porque es divertido pero tiene varios problemas.
Lo menos relevante es que tenga poca música o pocos sonidos en general, pero no es demasiado importante tampoco.
El movimiento de la cámara es minúsculo y no te acompaña del todo bien, y entiendo que eso te fuerza a ir más lento y a lo seguro, pero no estar en control de lo que podés ver es muy frustrante, a pesar de tener toda la pinta de estar hecho así a propósito.
El mapa es siempre igual y no varía nunca nada en ningún momento, salvo que juegues el +, que está invertido de izquierda a derecha.
Y lo último y que más me rompió las pelotas, y motivo por el que no jugué más es la nube del final del "modo difícil", es demasiado rápida (y a veces se glitchea un poco, pero no lo suficiente como para que eso sea lo que se sienta injusto), sobre todo si el juego te manda a matar al Kraken al final y abajo del agua sos más lento que trabajador del estado.
Concepto interesante, el juego da un poco de miedo, especialmente la parte de la araña, porque está bien ambientada y los enemigos se camuflan perfectamente.
Se maneja bien, se ve lindo (excepto las medusas con propulsión) y en general, lo que puse al principio, es divertido. Estresa un poco, sobre todo si alguna de las arañas de mierda te salta desde un ángulo re de mierda cuando no ves nada y es muy acelerado todo como para poder reaccionar.
El juego realmente no te premia por ir despacio y matar todos los bichos, pero sí que te castiga por tratar de rushear y pasando todo de largo.
No sé, la versión difícil me parece que sobra, el juego está bien como está hasta ese punto por la mayor parte así que se lleva una nota positiva, pero hasta ahí.
6,5/10
OVERWHELMING.
Beat main game in this amount of time.
Honestly, really fun game, I normally don't really like arcady games that force you to do long sections deathless, but this game gives you a way to practice and start at whichever boss you'd like, once you have it unlocked, which is fire.
Neat concept of beating bosses powers up enemies instead of the player, and ups the ante with (more? or harder) enemy spawns, higher boss HP or just extra spawns during fights.
Last segment of the game felt a lil underwhelming personally, when it comes to gameplay, but the small chunk of story the game had to offer felt really sick.
I'll probably update this review after doing NG+, but for just regular ending, I'd honestly recommend this game as a short and fairly challenging experience!
