OverKill

OverKill is a 1992 action game with a title that makes its intentions remarkably clear. Players are placed in a hostile environment and given the opportunity to deal with enemies using an impressive selection of weaponry, because apparently ordinary levels of violence were not considered sufficient. The gameplay focuses on fast action, shooting, movement, and surviving waves of opponents who seem to have taken your presence personally. Its presentation is very much in keeping with the era, offering a straightforward challenge where reflexes and firepower are the main tools of the trade. OverKill does not ask the player to spend hours pondering the meaning of existence. It asks a much simpler question: can you get through the next room without being overwhelmed? The answer depends on your aim, your reactions, and how much ammunition you remembered to collect.

  • Fast-paced 286 compatible shooter with awesome Adlib soundtrack 21/03/2021 23:34
    Don't be deceived by the EGA colour palette, this is a quality game. The EGA implementation is very well done (similar to Commander Keen). This game is a must-play if you own a 286. The Adlib soundtrack is amazing! The game has no sound blaster SFX unfortunately (similar to Silpheed), so I recommend turning off the SFX and just enjoy the music. There are six stages in total.
