KEY FEATURES: Streamlined Combat Controls: Overgrowth uses combat contextual controls to eliminate the need for button mashing, combo memorization, and elaborate flight-sim inputs.
With only one designated attack button and a multi-purpose grab button, Overgrowth allows players to execute dozens of intuitive combat maneuvers.
Combat Strategy: Overgrowth levels present players with an environment and a set of objectives. However, beyond this initial setting, players are given complete freedom to determine when, where and how they should attack.
There are multiple logical solutions for each level meaning players can adopt thinking patterns most suited to them.
Realistic AI: The computer controlled characters in Overgrowth are self interested creatures.
Ego can drive enemies to attack the player singlehandedly, but if it becomes clear that fighting the player head to head is going to kill them, they will turn and run for help.
Unlike the bad guys in most Hollywood action movies, the Overgrowth AI has no qualms about making fights unfair by attacking savagely and simultaneously.
Realistic Movement: Overgrowth's movement is contextual, procedural, and physics based.
The result is a real-time, player-controlled parkour performance that avoids the pitfalls of motion capturing.
Mod Support: The editors that the Wolfire developers use to make Overgrowth are included with the game. Players are thus able to create custom campaigns, cut-scenes, levels, costumes and items.
Player-created content is supported by Wolfire's site so that modifications can be observed, ranked and shared online throughout the Overgrowth community.
Cooperative Multiplayer: Players can team up against the computer in online cooperative battles.
