Override 2: Super Mech League Review - The Final Verdict
598There are a lot of things about Override 2: Super Mech League that are well-designed and well-executed. On a visual level, it’s beautiful and conveys an appropriately affable tone that could have been further expanded upon, and its centerpiece Leagues mode isn’t much of a story, but it offers an acceptable framework for fighting each of these fights without suffering from the imbalance it could have fallen into.
Unfortunately, the barebones framework of the rest of the game forces an emphasis on the combat, which doesn’t require as much nuance or depth as is necessary to stop it from getting old after just a few fights.
Having a wide range of mechs with unique move sets helps delay the inevitable, but the shallow combat system makes the entire experience feel less rewarding than it should have. You can come to Override 2 for the lovable characters and beautiful presentation, but you’ll likely feel like you’ve gotten everything out of it just as soon as you’re starting to get into it.
