HG:
It took me an hour and a half to get past the first level of Overture. Hard doesn’t begin to cover it really. It’s a fast paced, action ‘Rogue-lite’, with a lot of monsters, a lot of loot, and not a lot of story. While the game is certainly fun in short bursts, you are going to have to sink a lot of time into it before you can progress.
There are 24 playable classes split up into four types: warriors, rogues, mages and shamans. At the start, you will just have one option from each of the four types, the standard warrior, a ranger, the wizard and the cleric. The others are unlocked using the money you accumulate each time you venture out into one of the randomly generated dungeons. This money is also used to upgrade the attack power of a character once it has been unlocked.
Not only is he a game designer with two very good games under his belt
(Overture and SanctuaryRPG) but an impressive resume that features Software
Development and co-founding Black Shell Media.

Artemis writes: "Overture is another example of a strange hybrid game that gets many things right, but it also appears inconsistent in the way it presented itself."
