Just what. Is. OverField.

I gave it a try and, gotta say, it's one of the laziest globalizations I've played in the past five years. Not resizing the text boxes for the new text, translating the same thing multiple ways to add to the confusion, and straight up just not translating things sometimes ...

And yet I don't care because it's so damn fun.

For as little effort as they put into the globalization, the amount of effort they put into the gameplay is astounding.

As for what it is... well, it is gacha, and it's basically a platformer but with more open world vibes, that's kind of also an mmo social game (while not massively multiplayer, it is at least medium-large amount of players in the same channel).

Now that SOUNDS like a recipe for a disastrous clusterfuck, but ... it somehow works? I was initially confused how you can customize your avatar when you have no avatar ... and it's just that you can put costumes on the gacha characters and change their appearance at will.

My favorite silly cosmetic is a chair you wear on your back, and other people can sit in it. I loaded into a channel where five people had somehow sat themselves in a tower, with the bottom person racing across the screen dragging them along.

As for the more gamer part of the game...

The basis of OverField is that there are LARGE maps with tons of collectibles, mini-dungeons, challenges, resources, and various areas you explore using a team of three characters. You man one character, and the other two follow along and auto their attacks.

The maps are large enough that they give an open-world exploration vibe, but they feel much more like platformers, what with all the platforms and tricky navigation.

Now I am TERRIBLE at platformers and tend to find them frustrating, but OverField has a magical 3s rewind button that allows you to try again if you fail that jump - without having to start over. That made it actually playable, and enjoyable, for me.

OverField is also stupidly cute. The "large maps" are actually mini settings - we just get shrunk and put into them. The first one is a garden path in a bottle. The second a japanese bonsai garden. The third is a laboratory/library setting. It's a very charming setting with charming characters.

As for gripes... for once I was disappointed that there wasn't more tutorial, because holy smokes there is just SO MUCH to do and not enough explanation. I just didn't know some of the things existed without just snooping through all the menus.

Outside of the game mechanics and map design, some of the other game designs feel a bit less good. Like ui decisions and the decorating function. And the auto combat is... wonky.

Playing it on mobile is ... uh, well, I'd call it punishing difficulty. One challenge wanted me to pop balloons across a tightrope within a time limit and i was just like... yeah no. I'll wait until I'm at a computer.

ANYWAY, OverField surprised me. I thought it was just going to be a time waster and was prepared to toss it to the side after seeing the jank, but the devs focused on what mattered.

I just hope they do continue to come out with more maps of the same quality as these first few ... that is the one thing that could ruin it.

Overfield Tavern, Troy, Ohio - So last night we took a little trip back in time 200 years to the Overfield Tavern for dinner and live entertainment. All of the hosts were properly attired in period dress and acted the part. We had a blast! The tavern was built and established by Benjamin Overfield in 1808 in what was then the American frontier. Over the centuries it has at times doubled as Troy's courthouse, holding trials in the upper room. Today, it serves as a museum, preserving the building for posterity. Between the duck, the lamb and the pawpaw pudding (it tastes like pumpkin pie), we ate, drank and talked the night away. A big shout out to my buddy Alek for inviting us and also to his wife Samantha for really helping to make the evening special. Thank you both for everything! We will have to do this again! #MikeDoesHistory #history #education #dinner #Overfield #tavern #Troy #Ohio #duck #lamb #pawpaw #court #judge #instahistory #historygram #LikeMikeDoesHistoryOnFacebook #SubscribeOnYouTube (at The Overfield Tavern Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq6bw9hFUbd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18tvhtxeynst6

Hard rocking psych track that has almost an 80’s heavy metal feel to it! The vocals have this washed out vibe that contrasts with the progressive heaviness of the track. Really interesting to say the least!

Almost as one continuous song broken into nine tracks, Rosetta sends you on a journey of atmospheric, spacey, post-metal progressions with a heavily emotional influence contrasted by some of the heaviest metal in the Philadelphia scene I’ve heard in 2015.

The One2s Release Music Video For "Cryer"

The One2s just released a new video for “Cryer” and it totally has that 90’s artistic / psychedelic vibe that many videos had at that time. Cityscapes of Philadelphia, New York and a west coast city that is presumably LA are layered over film effects and close ups of their gear. Their thick shoegaze, post punk sound compliments the video perfectly. All and all, a pretty solid effort off of “EP 2″ that translates to video seamlessly! Their next show is a bit off in the distance on April 27th with Overfield, Clustersun (ITALY!), Allora Mis and Panaphonic at Bourbon and Branch, but definitely plan to get out there, especially since the tickets are super cheap right now! They’re back in the studio recording so maybe by their next show they’ll have some more news as to when that release will be ready! So press play, get into The One2s and get to the gig on April at Bourbon and Branch!
