A New Home, a Vicious Foe

In Overpowered 1 – Mars Infestation, humanity has been forced to flee a dying Earth and has set its sights on Mars. The only problem? The planet is already inhabited by hordes of aggressive local creatures. It’s up to you, as an elite soldier, to exterminate these menaces so your fellow humans can finally settle on their new home.

Run, Evade, Aim, and Fire!
This is a pure, action-packed survival shooter presented in a fluidly animated pixel art style. Using intuitive twin-stick controls, you’ll need to run, evade, and gun down every incoming threat across top-down environments. You can collect power-ups to upgrade your weapons on the fly, and the faster you take down your enemies, the higher your score will climb.
The game features four intense story missions, each with multiple objectives and levels to master. For those who want a pure, endless challenge, there is also a survival mode where you can challenge the online leaderboards to see how long you can stay in the fight.
Your Mission, on Any Platform
Overpowered 1 – Mars Infestation is an Xbox Play Anywhere title. This fantastic feature means that your fight for humanity’s future is never tied to just one device. When you buy the game digitally from the Xbox Store, your single purchase for £4.19 unlocks it for you on both your Xbox console and your Windows PC.
All of your high scores and progress are synced via the cloud, allowing you to seamlessly switch between platforms. You can tackle a story mission on your PC, then jump over to your Xbox to try and top the survival leaderboards without ever having to start over.
