Solve puzzles, fight formidable enemies and wield the powers of the Keytar in this intergalactic adventure.

After intercepting a mysterious distress signal, you'll embark on a daring adventure through an alien world, uncovering secrets hidden in its depths. Ride your stylish Hoverboard to traverse stunning landscapes filled with alien structures, from scorching sands to wavy waters, each testing your traversal skills to the limit.

As you venture deeper, you'll face relentless enemies in frenetic melee combat, using multiple unlockable skills and abilities to overcome them in creative ways. Customize your Hoverboard to suit your riding style by solving puzzles and gathering resources that enhance its speed, steering, gravity, and more.

Combat is a creative blend of physics-based powers, melee strikes and whether you're racing through terrain at breakneck speeds or battling fierce adversaries, the Hoverboard will be your ultimate companion in this thrilling quest for answers.

Every challenge brings players closer to uncovering the connection behind the distress signal, the protagonist’s past and the fate of the galaxy.

Italian developer Caracal Games and publisher Dear Villagers are proud to announce the release date for Star Overdrive, coming to Nintendo Switch on April 10, 2025.

Following its Nintendo Direct reveal in August 2024, Star Overdrive captured the attention of sci-fi and action-adventure fans. During the reveal, the developers cited The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as one of their biggest inspirations. While Star Overdrive draws inspiration from classic open-world action games, its hoverboard-based navigation and physics-driven powers offer a truly distinct experience.

Key Features:

  • Diverse alien world: Journey through four uniquely distinct biomes, each brimming with challenges and secrets to uncover.
  • Emergent Gameplay: Unleash and combine powers to battle enemies, bend the laws of physics, and solve intricate puzzles.
  • Hoverboard: Speed through vast landscapes, perform incredible tricks, and gain the edge in intense combat.
  • Epic Battles: Engage with unique creatures, from small-scale foes to towering bosses, each requiring strategy and skill to overcome.

Star Overdrive is coming to Nintendo Switch in April 10, 2025 as a timed exclusive, followed by PC (Steam) at a later time.
