Overture is an action-adventure roguelike where you choose from 24 character classes and venture into randomly generated dungeons. Each run takes you through floors of enemies toward a floor boss, with the aim of reaching the final boss.
Combat pits you against groups of enemies and projectile-heavy attacks. Classes have their own standard and special attacks, and companions can join you in battle.
Enemies can drop weapons, loot, gold, and experience. You can upgrade characters between runs, while randomized levels, rewards, and boss encounters shape each attempt.
Some reviewers enjoy Overture as an easy-to-start game for a few quick runs, and describe its chaotic bullet-hell combat as addictive. They also call out the range of classes and bosses as a draw. Other reviewers find that the randomized runs become repetitive, and that luck and gear can outweigh player choices.
