“The game is a solid meh. The combat is monotonous and unbalanced (jump, drop kick, win) and the platforming while fine doesn't do anything really exciting with it. The only thing that kept me playing was the story,…”
“You could just as easily have titled this game "Wuxia-ship Down," and very little would change. A sequel/soft-reboot of [i]Lugaru HD[/i], [i]Overgrowth[/i] is many things at once, including a stealth game, a fighting…”
“I like this game despite the fact it s abandoned and it feels incomplete. It s unique and had such a huge potential... The combat is brilliant.”

“super fun, great combat and very easy to mod”
“The combat is smooth, the mods are cool, the campaigns are nice, the parkour is alright. but the main attraction of this game for me was that i could beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of rats without peta attempting to assassinate me.…”

“this game kicks ass and if your considering buying it i feels sorry that you may never know the hidden ball knowledge that is OVERGROWTH, the physics based combat plus the sweet early 2000's style graphics kicks ass,…”
“I liked the character models and the procedural animations, but the gameplay not so much. Knowing this game came from the developers of Receiver, I was expecting a combat system with some well balanced complexity.…”

“I think this is the most fun combat I've had the pleasure of playing, and every other facet of this game is very very charming. Challenging without feeling unfair, I've had a delightful time playing through the story.”
“Frustrating but fun, gets more fun the more time you try to actually learn the mechanics and stealth, but I like the fighting aspects of it, just feels smooth.”

“After all these years, it still feels like an early access tech demo. Can’t recommend it, though sadly it is a game serving an undeserved niche. Also, the devs are blaming Steam for its games underperforming rather than…”

“I love the movement of the game and the fighting mechanics they are very fun to play with. The combat levels are not hard because you can use the dropkick every time, but the only thing that is kinda hard is the parkour and I like that. What i don't like about this game is the…”

While you may believe in them if your experiments don't resonate with as many players as you think it should, that's not the fault of Steam. Given…”
