2027, Sunset City, a contaminated energy drink has transformed
most of the population into toxic mutants. For many it's the end
of the world, but for you it's a dream come true. Your old boss?
Dead. Your boring job? Gone. Transform the open world into your
playground by grinding, vaulting and wall-running across
the city while using a devastating, unconventional arsenal. With
hyper-agility, unique weapons and customizable special abilities,
sunset overdrive rewrites the rules of traditional shooters and
delivers an explosive, irreverent, stylish and totally unique
adventure exclusively to Xbox One.
Welcome to the Awesomepocalypse
Sunset Overdrive is set in the fictional American metropolis
sunset City. The story begins when a resident mega-corporation,
Fizzco, hosts a massive release party for its hot new energy
drink, Overcharge Delirium XT.
But the beverage was rushed to market. Profit first, most of
Sunset City is transformed into an array of various mutants, also
called the "OD'd". The city is quarantined and morphs into a
chaotic, mutant-infested Awesomepocalypse. Soon, you realize a
life of playing videogames, watching action movies and reading
comic books has given you the tools to become the hero Sunset
City desperately needs.
As you progress through the epic campaign, you'll encounter
numerous plot twists and surprises and work to unite a diverse
group of survivor factions in your quest to save Sunset City and
reveal Fizzco' s sadistic cover-up scheme.
A vibrant and immersive open world
Sunset Overdrive possesses a soul and style unlike any other
shooter on the market - vibrant, irreverent, thrilling and
explosive.
Set in a sprawling, colourful city teeming with crazed enemies
and powerful, unconventional weapons, "Sunset Overdrive" turns
the apocalypse into your own playground of carnage and mutant
destruction. Filled to the brim with insomniac games' trademark
humour and satire, "Sunset Overdrive" is a rebellious game that
breaks the rules and flips modern conventions of post-apocalyptic
shooters on their head.
Fast and explosive gameplay
Sunset Overdrive immerses you in a pulse-pounding, frenetic
action experience unlike any other. With a vast arsenal of
devastating weapons and insane parkour moves, you can jump,
wall-run, grind, zip line and vault across the entire environment
to build up your style meter and gain a advantage on
your enemies.
Each weapon in your arsenal is infused with insomniac games
hallmark creativity and allows virtually endless rtunities to
mix and match different ones to explosive effect. Surrounded by
mutants on all sides? Lure them away by firing delicious cans of
Overcharge Delirium XT from the Captain Ahab, and then sit back
and detonate an explosive teddy bear with the TNTeddy grenade
launcher.
Express yourself
Sunset Overdrive lets you become whatever hero you can imagine,
giving you virtually endless options to customize your appearance
and play style. Play as male or female, choose your preferred
body type and rock various hair styles, tattoos, clothing or
accessories that best showcase your personality.
Additionally, by building up your style meter, you'll activate
amps. These special player abilities allow you to customize your
style of gameplay. Find powerful epic amps like the Twist of
e, which can set off a nuclear explosion. Or summon weather
like tornado's and lightning with your amp slots available in
each weapon. Players can craft new amps by using amp recipes and
ingredients can be found across the city.
Eight-player cooperative online action
Sunset Overdrive lets you and up to seven other players team up
on Xbox Live in an action-packed online mode called 'Chaos Squad'
players join together to cause havoc throughout the city, voting
on a series of missions with a risk-reward mechanic. Do they
boost the chaos level of the city, increasing both the difficulty
and the potential rewards? Or do they take a team power-up,
sacrificing some rewards to make things easier?
Culminating in a cooperative version of night defence, successful
players unlock big rewards including in-game cash, overcharge,
crafting recipes, new weapons and vanity items. The seamless
transition between the campaign and chaos squad lets you keep
your newfound winnings across all game modes. Powered by Xbox
Live, chaos squad lets you switch from campaign to online
multiplayer and back virtually instantly.
Two-way communication and dynamic updates
Sunset Overdrive will bring a new level of community interaction.
New events and content will be introduced into the game at
regular intervals post-launch and players will have the
rtunity to determine items they can earn permanently in
subsequent updates. 3 sunset TV, a weekly show that streams
inside of sunset city, will also bring the voice of the developer
into the game on a continuous basis and player feedback will
shape the long-term evolution of sunset city.
Review
------
"It's a triumph of kitschy presentation, meta-humour and gamer
culture. If that isn't reason enough, I don't know what is."
-Rishi Alwani, IVG
"Sunset Overdrive is big, gorgeous, and a hell of a lot of fun.
Never has getting from point A to point B in an open-world game
provided so much enjoyment. It provides some of the most fun,
frantic, and fantastic gaming I've had on the Xbox One. Now if
you'll excuse me, I have to once-again adorn my wolf , leap
off the highest ledge I can find, and fire an explosive stuffed
animal at that group of angry robots."
-Marty Sliva, IGN
"Sunset Overdrive from Insomniac Games incorporates style, ideas
and gameplay lifted from the likes of Saints Row The Third, Jet
Grind Radio and Ratchet & Clank. And the game is glorious,
offering something for everyone."
