Is Overdriven Reloaded worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Shoot-'em-up fans who want several modes beyond a standard campaign
- Local groups of 2 to 4 players seeking shared arcade-style play
- Players who enjoy collecting hidden objects and completing challenge content
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a single focused campaign rather than six modes, challenges, puzzle maps, and a Boss Rush
- Players who want exploration-driven progression instead of repeated shooting, dodging, and score-focused challenges
- Solo players who do not want local multiplayer as part of the available structure
Our take on Overdriven Reloaded
Players looking for a conventional shoot-'em-up may hit a wall when they reach the 56 puzzle maps, where bullet use shifts into color-reflex and match-three play. Manic mode also removes the player's health bar, creating a separate difficulty jump.
What is Overdriven Reloaded?
Overdriven Reloaded is a vertical shoot-'em-up for 1 to 4 players in local co-op.
Its modes include Story, Arcade, Manic, The Line, seven Challenges, 56 puzzle maps, and a Boss Rush. Story mode has four difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Nightmare. Players can use two spaceships, with a third available to unlock, while searching for 35 alien artifacts and seven space cows. The puzzle maps include a color-reflex format in which bullets are used for match-three play. The game also includes Steam leaderboards, achievements, and an original rock soundtrack. The Special Edition Upgrade DLC is included for free.
