Self-described as a “tactical bullet-hell RPG”, Grid Force is in reality a Mega Man Battle Network style game. Presented with visual novel style branching dialogue and illustrated comic panels, it immediately impresses, and continues to do so as the scale of what it’s attempting is revealed. Grid Force is unafraid to reinterpret the core ideas of its inspiration, with arenas that vary drastically, and a large roster of playable characters that shake up the way battles play out on every screen. Unfortunately, Grid Force’s ambitions often overreach, leaving the execution of its many ideas inconsistent through its runtime.

Overwhelm’s pitch nearly convinced me that it would be for me. An action-horror platformer where enemies get new abilities each time you beat a boss. It flips the usual action game dynamic and pushes back harder each time you take a step towards beating it. On top of that you’re only given three lives to complete a boss before you start all over. And you can only take a single hit.
