Exciting New Off-Road Driving Game: Over the Hill
Funselektor Labs, the creative minds behind the beloved indie game Art of Rally, are back with an exciting new project that promises to take players on a scenic and relaxing journey through the wilderness. Their latest creation, Over the Hill, blends the calming and minimalist visual design of Art of Rally with a focus on exploration and adventure. If you were a fan of the chill vibe of Art of Rally, you’re in for a treat with this upcoming release.
A Visual Feast in the Making
The announcement trailer for Over the Hill showcases the signature style of Funselektor Labs, with breathtaking visuals of lush landscapes, towering trees, vibrant sunsets, and challenging terrains. The game is all about the experience of exploration, with missions that will lead players through a map filled with diverse biomes, changing climates, and hidden collectibles. Dune Casu, the mastermind behind the game, drew inspiration from his own travels across North America in a camper van, promising a truly immersive and captivating adventure.
Embark on a Journey with Friends
One of the most exciting features of Over the Hill is the opportunity to team up with friends and explore the wilderness in a range of iconic trucks and SUVs from the 1960s to the ’80s. Just like Art of Rally brought together a cast of rally legends, this new game is set to introduce players to a unique collection of vehicles that pay homage to classic models. Customizing your vehicles will be essential to overcoming the challenges of the game’s environments, adding a strategic element to the gameplay.
Anticipated Gameplay and Mechanics
If you’re envisioning Over the Hill as a serene version of popular off-road driving games like Snowrunner or Mudrunner, you’re not alone. The developers seem to be aiming for a gameplay style that complements the peaceful and meditative experience of Art of Rally. While details on specific gameplay mechanics are still scarce, the promise of a slower pace and a focus on exploration has intrigued fans of the genre.
Looking to the Future
As we eagerly await the release of Over the Hill, there are still many questions surrounding the game’s mechanics and overall experience. Will players have the option to switch to a behind-the-car chase cam for better visibility? How will the unique visual style of the game impact gameplay? While the specifics remain a mystery, one thing is certain: Funselektor Labs and publisher Strelka Games are working hard to deliver an unforgettable gaming experience. Stay tuned for updates on this highly anticipated release.
