A boy, helpless to protect that which he cherished... A girl, hopeless in the face of a promise unkept... A man, desperate to escape his finite destiny... A child, forgetting what must not be forgotten... OVERDRIVE presents a brand new super hero epic!
The narrative follows the story of Yuuki Yamato, a young boy who makes a wish to become his favorite superhero, Dengeki Stryker. Years later, as an adult, Yamato finds himself thrust into the role of Dengeki Stryker when an evil empire threatens his city. Reviewers praise the well-written character development, the blend of lighthearted superhero elements with more serious dramatic moments, and the engaging plot twists that unfold across the game's multiple "sagas" or storylines.
Players highlight the visual novel's high production values, including fully voiced dialogue in Japanese, animated cutscenes directed by acclaimed animator Watanabe Shinichi, and a soundtrack featuring music from the renowned band JAM Project. The art style and character designs, while divisive for some, create a distinct visual identity that enhances the superhero theme. Reviewers also note the effective use of various visual effects to bring the action sequences to life.
While the game is primarily linear, it features branching narrative paths and choices that unlock different story sagas and endings. Completing earlier sagas is often necessary to access the more in-depth character arcs and storylines in the later sagas. Players report that the limited choices still have a meaningful impact on the story and character relationships, contributing to the game's replayability.
