Overload combines intense action with awesome graphics to create the ultimate zero-gravity shooter. An engaging single-player story campaign, a score attack mode, and online multiplayer give the player an intense experience and lots of replayability. Destroy robots, rescue survivors, blow up the reactor, and escape before the whole thing explodes! From the creators of the classic game Descent.

I was in high school when Descent came out. As amazing as games like Doom were, Descent and Descent 2 were just absolutely mind blowing. The moment to moment gameplay, the graphics, the sound - it just made for a gaming experience i couldn't get anywhere else.
This game is basically how i remember Descent. If you look at the graphics of that 1995 game now, it looks blocky and super low resolution. But of course, i don't remember it that way! Overload looks great, sounds great, and plays great. It is incredibly fulfilling to master the movement and circle strafe around a target on multiple different axes.
I've mostly gotten bored with traditional FPS games. Even the boomer shooters that call back to the 90s. But this game is great fun, and is sorta an FPS.
Buy this if you liked Descent, or if you just like fast paced movement-based shooters.

It's Doom, in zero gravity!
When I saw the trailer for Overload, my immediate thought was "They are gong to get sued by the creators of Descent!" I was glad to find out it was the folks from Descent that made this game. All of the fun, full 3D, vertigo, shooting, is here and then some. Fully voices mission briefings, inventive ship designs, and gorgeous graphics. AND it works in VR.

Awesome game. Descent was one of my favorite classic PC games and this is that but modern graphics. Kind of surprised there aren't more '6 degrees of freedom' games, it's a totally untapped genre these days.

Everything the Descent series was meant to be. If you did not have the pleasure of experiencing the apex of late 90s PC gaming, you can get caught up with what the old heads experienced, but perfected with Overload.

You know how things are always better in your memories? This is the Descent that you remember. Not the one you played, but the one your brain remembers you playing. Yes Please.

It's basically Descent 1-2 updated for modern systems. If you liked those, you'll like this game too. If you haven't played them, Overload is a 3D shooter compensating slower movement with full usage of three dimensions. Easily playable on mouse+keyboard.
