Evaluation

Overclocked launched on October 9, 2018 as a free-to-play action-platformer. Post-launch developer activity was limited to a handful of hotfixes and patches in 2018, and the only DLC ever released was an official soundtrack on October 10, 2018. There has been no new content, no roadmap, and no announcements of future updates for Overclocked since that initial period. The developer's more recent communications (June 21, 2025, April 17, 2026, and May 31, 2026) are focused entirely on a new, separate game called NOMIA — a turn-based tactics roguelike that has no connection to Overclocked's content. These posts were made on Overclocked's Steam page simply to reach its existing audience, not to announce anything for Overclocked itself. The artist who worked on Overclocked even notes that NOMIA is "the complete opposite" of the earlier game. Overclocked launched as a complete, finished product in 2018. With no unreleased DLC, no announced future content, and a developer who has clearly moved on to a new project, the game is considered content-complete as of its release date.

About this game

Overclocked is a free-flowing action-platformer that mixes combat and fluid movement. Take on the role of Amber, a glass-cannon vigilante who is fighting to protect her home from an enigmatic computer virus that amplifies negative emotions and augments physical strength. As tension mounts and new villains capitalize on the chaos, Amber must rely on her strength and her friends to protect her home.

Master a Unique Blend of Combat and Platforming


In Overclocked, one hit means death. Gameplay is divided into short levels that routinely throw new obstacles at the player. In order to survive, you must learn to adapt to these challenges. To thrive, you must master the controls and your ability to fight.

Finding the main story too easy? Each stage has a bonus objective waiting to be conquered. Complete enough of these bonus objectives and you’ll unlock brutally difficult challenge levels that will put even the best players to the test.

Uncover a Mystery Threatening your Home


Each episode in Overclocked is driven forward by a compelling story of intrigue and danger. Follow Amber as she and her friends work together to hunt down the source of a virus that is taking control of the people around them.

For the players who just want to get to the gameplay, or for those who are working towards 100% completion, turn on Speedrun Mode and flow through the game without distractions.

Challenge Others for Top Scores


Each stage has its own unique leaderboard, allowing you to compete against your friends and the Overclocked community for the fastest times.

Overclocked tracks your fastest game completion time and submits it to a global leaderboard. Beat the game to see how you stack up against other players. If you’re brave, see if you can take the #1 spot.
