Overrun (RPG)

Share Collapse

Author Comments

The year is 2050. Megacorporations rule the world and deckers access the Matrix through a datajack and a cyberdeck.


Overrun is an RPG based on the Shadowrun universe (FASA, 1989). The objective is to complete missions of sabotage and data extraction from corporate systems. Overrun has a random mission generator as well as a main story.

This is a remake of a game I made in 1996 using QBASIC. This version has a turn-based combat mechanic and extended dialogue.


How to play:


Arrow keys to move/attack.

Either that file searching mission from that beginner decker chick is bugged, or the spawn rate for the file that's required is unacceptably low for a starter mission. Plus, I had to move my left hand over to my arrow keys in order to control things comfortably, which was... A bit odd. That second point's probably more subjective than anything, but I felt it worth mentioning anyway. Also, a piece of dialogue concerning another decker from that ork dude (I think it was him, at least) wasn't in English, even though everything else was.

Not a bad game aside from those three grievances, though. Touch things up a little, and I could see you getting a solid audience here.

Edit: Turns out there was a button for reading files in more detail on the main Cyberdeck screen that I didn't notice until today. A little inch in the right direction in that regard would've been ideal, in my opinion, but at least it's there, I suppose.

Other points are still present, though, assuming you ever release another update. If not, again, not a bad game by any means-- Just some petty niggles.

It has a lot of potentel but its too difficult but its very imursive I feel like I am thare talking too someone in the hacker bar or stealing a file from a megacorp geting hit by bombs

Seems like an old school text based rpg with a little added to it. Pretty kewl

edit: i got stuck (maybe) i need to search a file for Misstepp but it doesnt show me what file to find and i look in every data store multiple times and nothing to finish the quest ever shows. Also the last NPC never finishes analyzing data from Pyro.

janosbiroleite responds:

You need to read all files until you find one that mentions a Mitsuhama decker. Then you have to talk to her with the file on your memory. If you left them unread or sell the files it won't work.

The analysis will only get ready after you finish some missions that only become available after you finish the one you are stuck on.

EDIT: I fixed this issue with the mission files so they are always available.
