It was released on May 31, 2018 and is created by many of the original Descent developers, marrying classic labyrinthine combat with modern visuals and gameplay. Players pilot a customizable gunship through complex underground facilities on moons of Saturn, blasting hostile robots, rescuing survivors, and completing objectives like reactor destruction before time runs out. The game features a robust single‑player campaign with atmospheric level design, a deep Challenge Mode, and competitive multiplayer for up to 8 players. Players can upgrade their ship’s weapons and abilities, tackle varied enemy types including bosses, and navigate deadly obstacles such as lava pits, forcefields, and enemy turrets. Overload also supports VR, leaderboards, and a variety of control schemes including mouse/keyboard, gamepad, or joystick for precise zero‑G maneuvering. With intense action that rewards spatial awareness and strategic firepower, Overload is widely praised by fans of classic shooters and modern sci‑fi action alike.
