About the game

Set sail in Overfall, a whimsical roguelike turn-based RPG of diplomacy and danger. Recruit unlikely heroes, forge alliances or crush your foes across ever-shifting seas to find a lost king. Every run is fresh with procedural worlds, permanent death, branching story encounters, and hand-drawn art.

The value story

Across all 90 discounts in the 11 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 5 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 82 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Pathway ($15.99, scores 43) outscores it, and so does Black Book ($7.49, scores 77). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

this is an old hidden gem that is quite a surprise. the game is shockingly well made and loop well crafted.

Pretty interesting concept and had a good time playing it years ago. Blending multi-stage turn based combat with a rogue-like gameplay loop. Significant amount of unlocks and party setup possibilities adds quite a bit to the replay value.
