Overland<\/a><\/strong> has been in development for a long time now.<\/p>\n

While Overland has been worked on, publisher Finji put out games like Canabalt<\/strong> (one of the very first endless runners) and Night in the Wood<\/a><\/strong>s<\/a><\/strong>. In recent times, they\u2019ve made press for games like Wilmot\u2019s Warehouse<\/a><\/strong> and Tunic<\/strong>, one game about basically just a square and the other, an epic about an adventuring fox. Yet all the while, Overland remained in the background, tinkered, toiled, and iterated. It became a highlighted game for Apple Arcade, it laboured into almost 600 development builds (according to their Twitter<\/a>), and after five calendar years, it\u2019s finally<\/em> putting all pre-release builds in the rearview mirror. Here it finally is: Overland 1.0.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth a mention that during that long stretch of development time, the themes and pieces that make up Overland are far more commonplace in the gaming industry: its a post-apocalyptic, gridded strategy game, not unlike seemingly a dozen games a year. You may or may not be able to pet the dog. And please, oh please, autocorrect… stop trying to autofill these impressions with \u201cOverwatch<\/a>\u201d or \u201cBorderlands<\/a>\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n
