Dear Overriders, greetings!
Thank you all for your passionate support and valuable feedback! After a period of intensive development, "OverRider" V 0.7.0 is now officially live!
This update not only reworks the Neural Network (Talent) System, but also introduces new playable characters, the ability to change your primary body, a brand-new Nightmare difficulty, and much more. Let’s dive into the details!
New! Change Primary Body
"Boss Supply Crates" have been adjusted: the option to “replace your Primary Body with the defeated Boss Body” has been removed. Instead, they now offer "Boss-exclusive Enhancement Chips".
The new "Change Primary Body" feature is now available in the "Chrysalis Hall", allowing you to switch your default body to unlocked Boss Bodies.
"Unlocking and upgrading" Primary Bodies requires a new kind of material, obtained from the Achievement System.
Unlock condition: defeat "Roxanne" at least once.
New! Achievements & Data System
In the "Chrysalis Hall", you can now track detailed "Gameplay Statistics" and "Achievement progress" at any time.
Completing achievements grants a new material, "Eggs", used to Unlock "Boss bodies" or Upgrade them.
New! Nightmare Difficulty
The super high-difficulty "Nightmare Mode" is now available!
In this mode, Boss attack patterns have evolved—DARE to test your LIMITS?
New Playable Character: “Ra8b1”
The new character “Ra8b1” joins the battle as an "Overrideable" enemy unit! You will encounter her in later stages.
She specializes in stylish combos and can "Create Mirages to repeat skills," giving her an explosive combat style.
With her arrival, “Horents” are back to Elites.
New Controllable Boss Body: “Miss Crimson”
The player-controllable version of “Miss Crimson” is now available!
She can be unlocked and used in battle through the "Change Primary Body" system.
New Full-Set Stage Theme: “Old Town”
The fourth major stage has been completely overhauled with a new full-set environment: Old Town, replacing the previously reused “Yayoi City,” for a fresh visual experience.
Neural Network (Talent) System Rework
The layout and effects of the "Neural Network" have been significantly reworked, offering a more balanced and diverse growth path.
Due to these changes, existing saves will have their "Neural Network" automatically reset, with all spent materials fully refunded.
Boss Adjustments
Stage 2 Boss is now “Miss Crimson”, and Stage 3 Boss is now "Roxanne".
Roxanne’s AI has been optimized to make her battle mechanics clearer.

Other Chips:
E.P. Sustain: While Core is active, EP converts into activation time (unchanged). New condition: requires at least 1 EP bar to trigger conversion.

Fixed "evolution modules", "traits upgrades", and "Ultimate skills" not unlocking correctly when overrode identical characters.
Fixed "O-9er" unable to reflect certain projectiles.
