About the game
Overturn was a campaign on Kickstarter that was suspended by Kickstarter for multiple reasons including DMCA violations. The game was never produced. The demo rulebook made available was mostly a straight-up copy of the Massive Darkness rulebook. Overturn is tactical combat based RPG board game with co-op elements to it. It uses a rich Middle Eastern folklore as a backdrop to tell its story which is ingrained with supernatural elements, legends and conspiracies. The game uses a multiboard system to depict major scenarios with each major scenario ultimately ending after defeating its boss. The objective to win is simple: defeat all the bosses to reach the final boss and win the game. This can be done all on its own but it’s the coop element that makes Overturn unique. Each board or primary mission can be completed with multiple heroes and players yet each player has the option to pursue their own version of the story on the board and the choice to assist other players or not. The combat is turn based with the enemies having their own unique AI that makes them formidable as well as unpredictable. Players grow their levels by defeating enemies and learning new skills and increasing their power. This applies to enemies too who grow just as much tough as the player grows bolder.
