Overvolt

The driving games are great entertainment for waiting times and moments of boredom. Excitement and competition that can be carried in your pocket thanks to games like Overvolt A title developed for the platform Windows Phone with a curious approach. And it is that, far from controlling super cars, the user puts himself behind the controls of one of those small electric traction cars like the ones in the well-knowngame Scalextric

This is a driving game that wants to modify the classic approaches of car titles seen for mobile phones. Thus, far from testing the skill and reflexes of the user with accelerators, brakes and swerves, the game Overvolt only has one button: the accelerator And, in the same way as cars on rails, it only needs to offer more or less electricity to accelerate or brakeOf course, a key point in the different curves and sections of the routes, since it is quite easy to get thrown off the track if you are going too fast.

The gameplay of Overvolt is quite simple thanks to its approach. Although this does not mean that it is really easy. The layout of the different 30 circuits makes the player maintain tension and concentration until crossing the finish line, trying to push the maximum power with the accelerator in each corner.All this through three different scenarios where all these races are placed. Either to compete against the machine in a single player mode, or against other users from all over the world thanks to its section multiplayer

But playing with the power of the accelerator in each corner or in each jump is not the only thing that the user has to worry about. And it is that this game has other additions that make each race more interesting. These are power-ups that allow you to activate a turbo, launch missiles or protect yourself with shields, among many other issues. Of course, it is about paid content available in the game's own store. An aspect that can be buy with the money earned after each race or, if you don't want to invest so much time and effort, through the real money payment

Another issue to highlight about this game is its visual aspect. A cell-shading style that looks like something out of the comics and that works really well to give that differentiated aspect over the rest of titles of this genre for mobile phones. Along with this we must mention the possibility of photographing any object to apply it as a layer of paint to our car. The only downside is that the free version is somewhat limited, offering only three multiplayer games a dayand without having access to all stages and tracks.

In short, a different game that is the most fun and a challenge for regular players of driving titles. The good thing is that Overvolt can be downloaded free via Windows Phone Store Also, as a promotion, they are giving away the paid version for a limited time.
