Space Overlords

Game Overview

Space Overlords is an action-adventure game developed by 12 Hit Combo and published by Excalibur Publishing. The story casts you as one of the titular "Space Overlords"—ancient divine beings who, after escaping from a millennium of captivity, seek bloody vengeance against the tyrannical entity known as Kesedihan that imprisoned them.

Instead of confining the destruction to individual city blocks, gameplay takes place across entire spherical planets. Controlling one of several unique Overlords (each featuring distinct body types, weights, and combat abilities like devastating spin attacks or energy beams), your objective is to demolish every building, wipe out defense towers, and crush military tanks to conquer each world. The game features a multi-chapter story campaign, custom planet creation tools, and local multiplayer modes.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q: How does movement work on spherical planets?

A: Because the levels are curved, round planetoids, walking or dashing in a single direction will eventually loop you back around the globe, allowing you to circle enemy installations and approach bases from multiple angles.

Q: Are there multiple characters to choose from?

A: Yes, the campaign features multiple unique Overlords to unlock and control, varying in speed, power, and combat style (such as multi-armed brawlers or projectile specialists).

Q: Does the PS Vita version include trophies?

A: Yes, the game features a full trophy list—though completing it requires a heavy grind dedicated to destroying hundreds of thousands of individual buildings.

Q: Was the game released physically on cartridge for the PS Vita?

A: No, Space Overlords was released exclusively as a digital download title through the PlayStation Network store.
