In Star Overdrive, you will glide through a vast world on your hoverboard at incredible speed. Battle countless enemies and powerful bosses. Harness your abilities to tackle challenges, solve puzzles, and forge your own path.
Players explore a vast alien world filled with tough enemies, tricky puzzles, and hidden secrets across unique landscapes. Along the way, they can customize their hoverboard, tweaking its speed, handling, and gravity to match their playstyle or tackle specific challenges.
Star Overdrive quickly caught the eye of sci-fi and action-adventure fans. The developers revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was a major influence. While it takes cues from classic open-world games, its hoverboard navigation and physics-based powers make it stand out with a fresh and unique approach.
After picking up a mysterious distress signal, your adventure begins on an unexplored alien planet. You’ll travel through breathtaking landscapes, from glittering deserts to sprawling aquatic regions, each testing your ability to navigate. As you explore, you’ll uncover traces of an ancient civilization and unravel the story behind the signal.
Combat combines physics-based powers, melee strikes, and unique moves from the Hoverboard companion, encouraging players to outsmart and overpower their enemies in fresh ways. Each challenge unravels more about the distress signal, the protagonist’s mysterious past, and the galaxy’s uncertain future.
