Overruled is a multiplayer brawler like no other where the players change the rules as they play, directly influencing the dynamics and direction of combat. Challenge up to three friends with both local and online multiplayer to a battle and the person with the most points at the end will win the game! But the rules are yours to play with and with loads of change ‘em up cards, you’ll never know how the battle will go! You could be playing Deathmatch now, but one of your rivals might decide to change it to Swag Bag. Or King of the Hill. Or Capture the Flag. Everyone dead? Double the respawn timer. Not doing so well by yourself? Turn on teams. Got the swag bag? Double the points you earn.

Overruled! is a great game to play with your friends, or complete strangers who will most likely become your friends as you beat each other senseless.
This is the perfect game to spend hours playing with your friends/family or get that instant gratification of jumping into a random match and playing 10 minutes of awesomeness. Overruled! games are fast and frantic with the rules always changing keeping players on their toes and giving everyone a chance to be great at something.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a game that's as good online as it is playing locally.

Short version: This game takes you back to the good old SSB-brawling-with-your-friends times. The rule changing mechanics are a really nice idea. Recommended specially if you have firends/family to play locally with.
TLDR: Keep in mind that this is an early review. There are many things the devs are working on.
Controls: Controller works GREAT. It feels fluid and intuitive, you won't catch yourself having a hard time switching cards, jumping and hitting someone at the same time. On the other hand, keyboard controls feel plain out weird, specially on the card-controlling part (controlled using u, i, o, j, k, l). My first games were played using this imput method and it could sometimes get frustrating. This point is further aggravated by the fact that there are no remapping options at this point.
Gameplay: This is the strongest point of this game. It is a 2D brawler with constantly changing rules (tag, king of the hill, racing, FFA and more), which are twisted further by players constantly playing their cards to, for example, double the points given or disable melee attacks for some time. 4 player games can get insanely fun, specially (as I already mentioned) in local games.
Community: Right now the community is pretty small, and it can take some time to find a match to play in online. This can get frustrating at times, especially if you experience the "UPNP router bug" which won't let you create a lobby (which the game will automatically will do if it can't find a situable match, forcing you to lose even more time as it can't be cancelled until the error shows up).
Overall: The game is fun, but does not feel complete yet. If the genre draws you in and you don't mind encountering a few bugs along the way, you will surely have a nice time playing. The devs are active in the forums and the community seems to be growing in a by-day basis, so even with its current flaws, I recommend this game.

Fun, competitive and constantly changing. Hours of fun guaranteed and a must buy for anyone who likes platform fighting games. 100% highly recommended.
Funny characters with awesome dialogue, fun and crazy levels and a whole plethora of game card types to really ruin someone elses day whilst benefiting yourself. What more could you really want at your fingertips?
No really, pick this up. You won't regret it!

Overruled has more twists than your favorite reality television show, and more strategy too!
Overruled is everything you could possibly enjoy in a madcap multiplayer game. There are cards that change the rules at any time, which could help with timing in respawning, timing for your projectile weapon, or the amount of points possible, or the very game themselves.
The rule is simple - get as much points as possible, but how you get those points (and how much) depends entirely on the rules randomized every 30 seconds (or presented by a fellow player)
But at one point during the game, you have an "OVERRULED" card which negates any card presented on the table, so it's a game of juggling not only the platforming and combat, but the very rules and scoring themselves.
Play according to your skill set, or hinder your opponents on their best skill set. It's a very addictive game, and can't wait to see new levels, new characters and possibly more "twists" as the game continues.

This isn't any old boring game... This is Overruled!
I have had LOTS of fun playing this online with random players, friends and sometimes evan the developers ;)
This is a very competitive game where you want to play and play until you finally are the best and OVERRULE them all
This is a constantly changing action packed platform fighting game where you play by your rules and screw the day over for everyone else
#ScrewTheSystem by this game for hours of action and fun! 100% worth its money!

I love this game. Since the day I saw it at a games convention I kept going back to this one. It has a really unique art style and gameplay and for early access it has so much content. Since there are cards the game can change at any moment at one point you can be winning then the next minute your coming last. There is also a nice vary in map (with hopefully more to come) and a campain mode which is still being worked on. If you havn't bought it already stop reading the reviews and buy it. :D

UPDATE. The developers added an option to disable UPNP, so now I can host a game. I will update my review once I get to play! Thanks for that.
Note that the game insists on forwarding a fixed port. Please make this user-configurable? A command line switch, a text config.ini file, anything. I play on a laptop and a PC, and the only way to host on one or the other is to edit the router settings each time.
