Override 2: Super Mech League Reviews & Ratings
So this game horribly disappointed me and my friend. We had played Override: Mech City Brawl and we absolutely loved it despite all itsSo this game horribly disappointed me and my friend. We had played Override: Mech City Brawl and we absolutely loved it despite all its unpolish and it was all because we had fun playing the game co-op. Playing muilitple pilots to 1 mech. It was the best feature in my opinion. Then we saw the trailer for This game and got extremely excited and bought it. We honestly should've researched it more but we assumed the most unique feature the game had was going to stay, oh how we were very wrong. They did away with not only our favorite feature of muilitple pilots but the fighting mechanics felt way different to, to be fair the mechanics were made better to make fighting more exciting but me and my friend just didnt like the feel of it as much anymore. The game fine but we personally dont like it due to removal of certain features.
I said Override 1 was great and I still think it is. There was a real charm to it despite not being the most polished experience; I had just wished that there was more single player content. I also assumed that maybe some licensed content would bring in a crowd but clearly, I was wrong as Ultraman DLC seemingly failed to bring people in. I’m really disappointed, as the mech design is just so good but this game is so boring. I think Override 2 killed all the goodwill I had from the first game; I really don’t care to try out a half-baked single player game attached to a dead multiplayer game again. It works fine and that’s the best I can say about this game.
As a game viewed independently from platform, Override 2 is a functional if not exceptional arena fighter that is brimming with charm and strong visual design. As a Switch game, it has a few too many rough edges to strongly recommend. It isn’t downright bad; this version just doesn’t carry with it any of Override 2’s strengths, leaving you with an ugly arena fighter that struggles to find originality or unique mechanics.
While fans of the original might be turned off from the drastic combat changes, what I will say is that it feels much more accessible, as my daughter was able to easily jump in and start doing cool moves without having to memorize a bunch of inputs. While this opens it up to a larger audience, it by no way feels even remotely balanced and usually degrades into who’s spammed special moves can outperform the others spammed move sets.
Simply put, Override 2: Super Mech League would have benefited from having more content. It feels rushed, and I cannot help but think the developers were forced into meeting a release deadline. Granted, what we do have is a smooth, and functioning game; but it’s a half-finished one that doesn’t have much of a player base, at all. Modus Games dropped the ball here and I have a hard time recommending Override 2: Super Mech League to anyone.
