About GUILTY GEAR 2 -OVERTURE-

GUILTY GEAR 2 -OVERTURE- is an action strategy game developed and published by Arc System Works, released for Windows on 31 March 2016. It pushes gameplay and entertainment to the extremes with a splash of competitiveness, combining two completely different game systems in one fast-paced real-time environment. You are the commander of your troops and at the same time the frontline hero of your army, battling enemy forces head-on while giving out commands.

The heart of the game is the system called Battle X Command. Real-time strategy and 3D battle action merge, so you are never simply watching from above. You move your Master across the map, issue orders to your units and jump straight into fights whenever the situation demands it. Blending action and strategy in your own way is the key to seizing victory, and every player develops a personal balance between both sides.

Your player-controlled Master comes equipped with a rich arsenal of actions. Dash across the battlefield with the Blast Drive, chain together combos from a wide range of attack patterns and use steps, aerial dashes and special attacks to their greatest potential. Charging the tension gauge to its maximum lets you unleash devastating Overdrives on your foes, turning a tight skirmish around in a few dramatic seconds.

Commanding troops matters just as much as fighting. You micro-manage your forces, advance together with your units and capture enemy bases to extend your control of the map. More than 50 different units are available, each with unique actions and abilities, which means the composition of your army and the timing of your orders shape the outcome of every battle long before the final duel begins.

Battles change pace quickly. A full-fledged army war can turn into a sudden-death duel between Masters in the blink of an eye, so you have to keep an eye on both the big picture and your own character. Reading the flow of combat, knowing when to defend a base and when to lead a charge personally, is what separates a solid commander from a truly great one in this unusual hybrid.

There are plenty of game modes to explore. The campaign tells the story through cutscenes between battles, while Exhibition matches let you set up battles on your own terms. Training helps you learn the controls and the command system, and Free Mission offers additional challenges to master. An Option menu and a replay viewer complete the package, letting you study your best victories later.

GUILTY GEAR 2 -OVERTURE- runs on Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 with an Intel Core 2 Quad at 2.8 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, a GeForce 9800GT, DirectX 9.0c and 3 GB of storage, and full controller support is included. For anyone who enjoys stylish character action, likes commanding armies in real time and wants an experiment that feels unlike other strategy games, it is a distinctive pick from Arc System Works.
