INTRODUCING OVERLANDERS
GAMEPLAY
Overlanders is an aggressive hover-racer, where you chase the monster and his destruction is the end of the race.
Not just the speed, but weapons and tactics decide who will be the winner.
AI
We are very proud of our AI system, we’ve developed a really professional and aggressive bot, which almost resembles the behavior of a real player. Weapon usage is based on a sophisticated logic. The AI will try to use the correct strategy given the weapons he has.
MULTIPLAYER AND CAMPAIGN
Experience fast-paced multiplayer racing, with weapons, power-ups and more. Race online or practice in the campaign. 5 players per race.
VEHICLES
You have 4 hover-racers at the moment. In addition to their appearance, their behavior and handling are different, so you will surely find the most suitable one.
SKINS
The game contains 64 skins total, in categories (Rn-Down Style, Metallic, Legendary).
COMMON AND SPECIAL
Each racer has 6 common weapons, which can be upgraded. In addition, they have three unique abilities, also upgradable to four levels.
Let’s see the racers:
<*>
COMET
She mostly resembles a regular motorbike. Very small in size, especially compared to the others, but should not be underestimated. Its main advantage is acceleration and drifting.
Unique abilities: Shock Wave, Smoke, Mines
<*>
GOLIATH
He’s a real heavy duty racer, despite its size, it is relatively fast, but slows down a bit in turns. Good combination and easily becomes your favorite. Due to its size, he handles collisions better than Comet, so it can be a good choice for a beginner as well.
Unique abilities: Double Torpedo, Invisibility, Smoke
<*>
BUFFALO
This character is medium in size and he is the most balanced.
Easy handling and good max speed.
Unique abilities: Shock Wave, Invisibility, Smoke
<*>
FLUX
For a novice player, he can be challenging, but for a more experienced pilot Flux can be a great companion. Slow acceleration, but if you navigate skillfully, the top speed will surprise you. Handles collisions very well.
Unique abilities: Invisibility, Smoke, Double Torpedo
COMMON UPGRADES
BOOST
Gives you extra speed. Useful when you want to catch up or escape from the enemy.
TRAP
Place a large trap on the track. Hard to avoid in turns and slows down who hits it.
SHIELD
Block all attacks. Useful when you hear the rocket behind you.
COIN
Free money! Easy way to get some bonus coins.
GRENADE
Quickly fire three grenades. Slow down other racers or damage the monster.
TORPEDO
Fire a rocket, tracking the enemy in front of you. Also deals damage to the monster.
SPECIAL UPGRADES
DOUBLE TORPEDO
Fire two tracking rockets. Eliminate two players or damage the monster.
INVISIBILITY
Blocks all damage and gives you extra speed. Useful if you want to win.
MINES
Scatter these mines on the track. Hard to see and very distracting if somebody hits it.
SMOKE
Place it on the track. Thick smoke will appear, that distracts racers in it.
SHOCK WAVE
Fire a strong pulse around you. Slow down all racers who are in range.
TRACKS
You have 14 tracks at the moment, which are played in 3 different environments. On these unique worlds, you can expect all types of weather and different times of the day.
Race in the sunset, snow or night rain.

Introducing - Support
This is the fourth episode of our weekly series, where we introduce you the vehicles you can play in Overlanders.
You have already seen three of them, so it is time to introduce the last one, the Support.
This character is a medium sized vehicle and his main weapon is a long ranged and very accurate rifle.
As you can expect, support has a lot of abilities that you can use to help your teammates.
Just to mention some of them, support can heal other players, equip them with shields and give them other bonus effects.
If you play support, you can also help your squad by slowing your enemy down or divert the attention of the beast to gain some time for your friends.
With the long range sniper, support should stay farther out from the fight as he can not take too much damage. However some of your abilities require you to get close to your teammates.
Support can be played with numerous styles, since you can customize your abilities to your prefered way of play.
We recommend this character for those who like to have larger view of the fight rather than rushing into the middle of it.
Your role is very important and can change the result of the fight.
This is the last update, where we introduce the four players. You can read last weeks update about the Trapper here.
We will still update you about the state of the game as regularly as we can, but if you need even more Overlanders you should follow us on Twitter, where we show work in progress levels, features and smaller updates.

This machine is the biggest from our crew. Two roles, driver and artillery, both under your control.
The Trappers main role is to try to slow down the target or make it incapable of damaging the others.
Hooks, ropes, nets this guy has them all.
When playing Trapper, you should try to isolate your target from the others, then slow it down or make it stop completely while the others try to take it down.
Your role is important, you have to forge time for your friends to escape if the situation gets too hot.
With this powerful artillery you can also deal some real damage, how you play is your choice now.
Trapper has one weapon, that can fire various projectiles, mainly
Hooks, ropes, nets - to slow the target down
Rockets, drones, bombs - to deal damage where needed

Assault - The fastest
This is the second episode of our weekly series, where we introduce you the four vehicles you can play in Overlanders.
Last week you got to know the Heavy, this week you can read about the Assault.
This bike is the fastest and easiest to navigate and armed with quick firing weapons.
Assault can’t take a lot of damage, but he can navigate through every fight and escape if necessary.
Assault has the ability to track down and find the enemy, deal reasonable damage and summon supportive actions to the team.
The main goal for him is to detect creatures, get really close to them to deal both aerial and powerful focused attacks.
He can boost up to very high speeds, leaving most of the creatures behind.
Assault has two main weapons.
A smaller rapid fire gun, with reliable range and damage.
This is the base weapon for the Assault
The secondary weapon is a customizable slow fire weapon with high damage.
The main selling point for the Assault is the variety of abilities, that can deal damage to multiple opponent and do many more things.
Thanks for reading our updates.
You can follow us on Twitter or Facebook, if you want to see more pictures and similar updates.
Next week you will meet the Trapper.
Introducing - Heavy
This is the first episode of our weekly series, where we introduce you the four vehicles you can play in Overlanders.
First of all, the Heavy.
This bike is relatively fast and armed with the biggest and deadliest weapons of all.
Heavy can take a lot of damage, but you still have to be careful. He is not immortal.
When in combat, heavy can deal a lot of damage without being interrupted, but can't stay in the middle of combat for too long.
The main goal for him is to deflect the monster from the more vulnerable bikes, while dealing as much damage as he can.
He can boost up to high speeds, but not for a long time, so always watch for a way out of a bad situation.
Heavy has two main weapons.
A smaller rapid fire gun, that can attract the attention of the beast, but nothing more.
Not like his big gun.
The large guy on the front takes the biggest damage from the four bikes.
It's a multipurpose weapon, that can be configured for different play styles.
