These levels are fun in concept, or at least when the action remains limited to jumping from ledge to ledge rather than trying to mimic wall runs from Prince of Persia. But the problems of learning what works and what doesn’t are never so annoying as they are in Overgrowth’s frequent platforming segments. But it's so effective that it kind of feels like cheesing Overgrowth's combat system, but considering there's really no rhyme or reason to the way it works, breaking it doesn’t seem like much of a crime. Whenever I'd find myself in a tough spot, I'd fall back on Turner's flying kick move that requires nothing more than a jump and a left mouse click to kick an enemy in the face. “One move, in particular, is godly to a fault. In its best moments, Overgrowth captures the exhilaration of wuxia films in a way few other games manage. Subtlety more your thring? Just send Turner into sneaking into camp and slash the throats of the pernicious pooches before they can even whimper. (Surprisingly, Overgrowth is much more fun and intuitive with a keyboard and mouse rather than a gamepad.) Press Q and he fires off spears into the backs of dastardly dogs. Press shift, and he dodges attacks with swords that could kill him in one shot.
Once on the ground, he can perform timed parries that send the ruffians tumbling on their backs, sometimes nabbing their spears, swords, or daggers for himself in the process. Turner’s about as hardy as a scrap of paper, but as a rabbit, he can leap across distances like Neo hopscotching skyscrapers in The Matrix and then land feet-first into the face of hateful Labrador Retrievers in samurai armor. By extension, it's what Overgrowth is best at. “As Turner says himself, it's what he's best at.
