Mantic likes to give players the option of checking out the rules for their games for free online. They’ve posted up the OverDrive rules just for this purpose. You can take a look at Mantic’s newest fantasy sports game (though it’s a sci-fi setting) now with just a quick download.
From the article:
This week we’ve got plenty of exciting OverDrive content going live on the Mantic Blog – including a guide to two new players hitting the arena (The Bug and Big Mech), some tips if you’re getting started and new pre-orders. However, today we’re kicking things off with something rather exciting: free rules!
That’s right, you can now get a taste of OverDrive with our free rules. These cover the basics, like moving, Slamming and Dodging, plus you’ll learn how to draft your players and play the standard ‘king of the hill’ game mode. If you’re an existing DreadBall player with some giants or are just curious about how OverDrive plays, the free rules are the perfect place to start.
If you want to give the game a go, just dust off your DreadBall Xtreme mat, as the layout of the playing area is roughly the same… but without the fancy subs’ bench and proper rush counter… oh, and the scoring is different. But, apart from all that, you’ll be able to play the standard game mode.
