Override 2: Super Mech League Review - Take The Same Ones And Start Over

Override 2: Super Mech League Review - Take The Same Ones And Start Over

Two years ago, Override: Mech City Brawl was released, the title put us in command of a robot for battle in arenas. The concept seemed appealing, but yet, many flaws spoiled the experience: too limited content, too messy handling and fights ... In short, all was not rosy in the land of mechs. With the arrival of Override 2: Super Mech League, my expectations were high and I hoped that the major flaws of the first title would be corrected. More content, more rhythm in the fights ... These are all flaws that I found in the first episode and which unfortunately have not been corrected. So what does this new game bring us?

Override 2: Super Mech League game characters

Let's play mecha-no

Before I start, let's do the presentations, Override 2: Super Mech League is a 3D fighting game between robots (mechas), developed by the Brazilian studio Modus Studios Brazil, those nostalgic for Grendizer, Gundam, or even Power Rangers are in charge. of these iron giants.

I specify directly. If you don't have an online account, go your way. In fact, you will not be able to play even locally with a friend or against the computer if you do not have a Switch Online subscription. Now let's talk about the different game modes, they are four in number:

  • Quick game: in this mode, it will be possible to quickly launch an online combat in 1v1 mode or a combat with 4.
  • League: this is an equivalent of a career mode in which you will be able to evolve within several leagues and you will be able, via the garage, to obtain new mechas thanks to the money earned during your fights.
  • Versus: for local games with a friend (but with a mandatory Switch Online account ...), online or against the AI ​​for 1v1 (split-screen) or 2v2 fights, this is where it happens.
  • Training: The name of the mode speaks for itself, you are here to train and learn the four key combinations necessary for your battles.
  • Garage: this is not a game mode, but this is where you can, thanks to the money you earn during your league matches, buy new mechas, change your avatar or display proudly your hard-earned titles.

Override 2: Super Mech League gameplay

This is the mech plus ultra

The roster is made up of twenty mechas, all very well done with a very sought after character design. There is something for everyone, ranging from pseudo-MechaGodzilla to a unicorn robot, including a fish robot. Each mecha has unique attacks and gestures, but all of them have the exact same key combination for achieving combos via triggers. I am far from the variety of combos of a Street Fighter for example, but this is not necessarily a negative point, on the contrary. Because you don't have to learn endless key combinations, which makes the game very accessible.

A little adaptation time is needed to get used to the heaviness of the gameplay, it's still mechas all the same! You can catch/throw your opponent, jump, defend yourself, collect weapons that appear in the arena, punch and kick and execute ultimate attacks once the gauge is full.

Did you see your face, mech?

Graphically, the robots are really very well done, they evolve in destructible arenas representing different environments providing a different gameplay each time either by their verticality or by their dangerousness, with molten lava which damages us, for example. However, these arenas are very small, perhaps too small, and cause serious problems with the camera, the latter often having the unfortunate tendency to stand behind an element of the set.

In two years, Modus does not seem to have corrected the defects of the first part. Far from being flawless, Override 2: Super Mech League remains a fun and easy-to-access game for short games. There is a real feeling of power to watch our mechas lift a building to throw it at our opponents.

Override 2: Super Mech League availeble on Steam for PC

Override 2: Super Mech League Review, the conclusion

If you are a fan of vs. fighting with a multitude of combos, then this game is not for you. No single-player mode is available, since the game is only intended for online. However, the game servers already seem empty, and finding an opponent is no easy task. Let's face it, the game is mostly aimed at young players and veterans of the nostalgic mecha of a time gone by. All of this is accompanied by a rather well-chosen soundtrack, especially that of the title screen to immediately put you in the mood.

Retrogaming Forever - Liero One Of The Best Game I Ever Played

As many of you probably know by now, I am a fan of retrogaming. I remember since the 80's I where my dad bought me an Atari 2600 VCS I felt in love with the world of computing. Since back then I became interested in programming as well. After playing games for many years on both my Commodore 64 and TRS-80 Color Computer, I slowly get involved in PC gaming. As you may know PCs at that time were not the ideal machine for games, but the '90s became the years of changes and one of the games that brought my attention was Liero. Conceived and created in 1998 Liero became a popular duel game in classrooms and homes alike. Between 1999 and 2005 the thriving Liero community created astounding maps, mods, and editors to enhance the experience of this amazing game. This is the final version of the original generation of Liero released in early 2000. Even after the last two decades, Liero maintains its popularity. If you are still an old fan of Liero, you will be more than happy to lear

Watch Dogs Legion Review: a neat and promising cyberpunk atmosphere

The verdict is getting closer for Watch Dogs Legion , now closer than ever to its official release. A few weeks before the launch, we were once again able to take charge of the Ubisoft Toronto team's title and this time focus on its atmosphere and its history, after having discussed its new features and gameplay a few months ago. Here we were able to play Watch Dogs Legion for more than 4h30. Unlike the one in July which made us discover the first hours of the game, this demo was slightly more advanced in the game: two districts of London were already released and we had access to new scripted missions. Finally, from a technical point of view, note that this session took place remotely on a version of Watch Dogs Legion playable thanks to the Parsec streaming solution. Watch Dogs first of the name took us to a modern Chicago with a rather serious and down-to-earth tone. Watch Dogs 2 fully embraced its Californian vibe, juggling themes related to the joys and sorrows of Silicon Val

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Review - Good Concept Does Not Make Good Recipe

While, like every year, 2020 promises to end on a high note with a bunch of big video game releases, some less publicized titles still risk trying their luck in this congested niche. This is the case with Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin , a somewhat peculiar Japanese title since it offers a rather unusual mix of genres. Although the niche is rather poorly chosen, stuck between blockbusters like Watch Dogs Legion and probably eclipsed by the release of the new generation of consoles, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin does not dismantle and wants to be generous. After giving you my first impressions in a preview, let's now see what the finished product is worth it. I played for about 20 hours on a classic PlayStation 4. During our review, I did not encounter any major bugs or concerns. I already told you about it in my preview, the first impressions on the title of Edelweiss are quite mixed, although I came out with a certain enthusiasm. First of all because the graphics processing is quite disapp
