Summary
What if the apocalypse was actually... awesome?
The year is 2027. The place is Sunset City. Things kick off when resident mega-corporation, Fizzco, launches its latest energy drink, Overcharge Delirium XT. Unfortunately, if you think energy drinks are a little bit toxic now, just wait until you see what they're like in the future!
Most of the population is transformed into an array of mutants, aka "the OD'd". This, for many, is awful news. For you, someone who hated their job and spent far too much time playing games, watching movies and reading comics, this isn't so much awful as it is awesome. It's time for you to step up into Sunset Overdrive's epic campaign and become the hero your city so badly needs.
With amazing agility you'll leap into action in a vibrant, chaotic open world with a host of parkour moves and a huge arsenal of insane weapons. If you've played any of the Ratchet & Clank games you know that creative weaponry is one of developer Insomniac's hallmarks. If, for example, you're surrounded by hordes of mutants, draw their attention by firing cans of Overcharge Delirium XT from the Captain Ahab, then turn them into airborne meat by detonating an explosive teddy bear.
Players can team up with up to six other gamers online in co-op challenges with a risk/reward mechanic. If you dial up the craziness in Sunset City, the rewards are potentially huge! But, you know, you might end up as paste.
If you like your shooters with a large does of anarchy, you're in for a treat.
