What is Star Overdrive?

You play Bios in a single-player, third-person action-adventure on the alien planet Cebete, searching for your missing partner. You ride across three biomes, perform tricks, gather materials to upgrade your hoverboard, and explore ruins to unlock skills. A keytar and powers that alter gravity and release kinetic energy help you fight enemies and solve puzzles.

For you if...

+you like alternating fast races with slower platforming challenges
+you enjoy experimenting with powers to overcome environmental obstacles

Not for you if...

−you want uninterrupted riding without on-foot challenges or resource gathering
