Overture has a lot of cool things going for it, from its pick-up and play gameplay to its catchy chiptune music. At the end of the day, however, Overture feels too by the books to leave a lasting impression. It takes inspiration from games like Diablo and Binding of Isaac, games that you’d probably want to play instead. Overture doesn’t try to achieve beyond its influences, instead serving as an inexpensive distraction that won’t last long despite a nice selection of characters.

Every so often you will find an NPC to fight alongside you and a swarm of bad things to kill, but it’s just run-stab-repeat, get to the end, celebrate. Like most procedurally generated games, there’s not a great deal of depth to this one, but if you have an hour (or six) to kill, it’s worth a punt.
