INTRODUCING OVERLANDERS

GAMEPLAY

Overlanders is an aggressive hover-racer, where you chase the monster and his destruction is the end of the race.
Not just the speed, but weapons and tactics decide who will be the winner.

AI

We are very proud of our AI system, we’ve developed a really professional and aggressive bot, which almost resembles the behavior of a real player. Weapon usage is based on a sophisticated logic. The AI will try to use the correct strategy given the weapons he has.

MULTIPLAYER AND CAMPAIGN

Experience fast-paced multiplayer racing, with weapons, power-ups and more. Race online or practice in the campaign. 5 players per race.

VEHICLES

You have 4 hover-racers at the moment. In addition to their appearance, their behavior and handling are different, so you will surely find the most suitable one.

SKINS

The game contains 64 skins total, in categories (Rn-Down Style, Metallic, Legendary).

COMMON AND SPECIAL

Each racer has 6 common weapons, which can be upgraded. In addition, they have three unique abilities, also upgradable to four levels.

Let’s see the racers:

  • COMET

    She mostly resembles a regular motorbike. Very small in size, especially compared to the others, but should not be underestimated. Its main advantage is acceleration and drifting.
    Unique abilities: Shock Wave, Smoke, Mines

  • GOLIATH

    He’s a real heavy duty racer, despite its size, it is relatively fast, but slows down a bit in turns. Good combination and easily becomes your favorite. Due to its size, he handles collisions better than Comet, so it can be a good choice for a beginner as well.
    Unique abilities: Double Torpedo, Invisibility, Smoke

  • BUFFALO

    This character is medium in size and he is the most balanced.
    Easy handling and good max speed.
    Unique abilities: Shock Wave, Invisibility, Smoke

  • FLUX

    For a novice player, he can be challenging, but for a more experienced pilot Flux can be a great companion. Slow acceleration, but if you navigate skillfully, the top speed will surprise you. Handles collisions very well.
    Unique abilities: Invisibility, Smoke, Double Torpedo

    COMMON UPGRADES
