Overture Review | Hardcore Gamer

A while ago we had a chance to preview a build of Overture by Black Shell Games, the same people that gave us the rather cool ASCII turn-based epic, Sanctuary RPG: Classic and the new and improved Sanctuary RPG: Black Edition. We stated in our preview that Overture will hand your butt to you, and this rings even more true in the final release. Overture is one tough cookie, and while we had some fighting chance when we were toying around with the demo (even making it past the first boss in our first attempt), the finished game turns the challenge up a few notches and will make clearing the first area an uphill battle.
