As we all may know, I love comic books, so how this game has an Onomatopoeia style and comic book style of art, makes me want another in the future. The game is beautiful and the game doesn't dwell on the world's worst scenarios, but goes more on the world's funnest and great times you can have in the apocalypse.
As the trailer says completely (Don't say this is spoiler, because they say it in the trailer), the people in city drank an energy drink called Overcharge and became a monster-like zombie called the OD (Overcharge Drinkers). Afte hell has broke loose, Scavs are the only human threat. The story is nothing, but an ambitious ride into a hilarity of quests. I mean your respawn just screams jokes and references! This is my favorite respawn animation.

Anyways, the game is funny. I like a funny game and it's something I want in the gaming world. I know some games are getting more and more serious like The Last of Us or the Bioshock series, but I want to see a funny joke to be in there. And if you think of it, the game kind of reminds me of Saints Row 4.
Anyways, the gameplay is fun. The grinding mechanic is really easy to use, but difficult to master! I mean there can be some real good players out there that I know can get a 100 combo out of one go in the game.
Oh, and there's a combo mechanic! Kind of hard to remember that when you're busy killing OD's and scavs. It's satisfying to to get the combo meter up and along with power ups that comes with each hero tear. With the combo mechanic, it can enhance the way you can play with abilities called Amps. I guess you call it a hack skill, if you may. You can equip many at at a time to weapons or yourself. And every tear goes to a certain level. But you gotta get moving to keep your 4 tears. You can keep it up by killing OD's or Scavs, grinding, trick grinding, bouncing, grind bouncing, and killing while doing one of the two. It sounds dirty, but it's not.
Overall, the game has a nice round up. Yeah, you can't take the game seriously when there's a serious cutscene, but the jokes and hilarity you experience is fun. Even my sister likes this game, and she hates games with a trick mechanic!
Well, I would rate this game a 9/10 for the gameplay and an 8.5/10 for a good story. I hoped you liked this and I hope you enjoy this game when you get it for free for gold. So, lets get drunk on Overcharge...
And 'til next time...
