OVER RUSH: Exciting High-Speed Card Battle RPG
NHN PlayArt is set to launch its fast-paced card battle RPG,
OVER RUSH, starting with an open beta test (OBT) on September 17, 2026. This eagerly anticipated title will be available on iOS, Android, and Steam, providing a unique gaming experience unlike any other.
What is OVER RUSH?
OVER RUSH marks NHN PlayArt's first venture into Steam distribution, designed to be both engaging and accessible. Players will find that they can enjoy the game without memorizing complex rules or card effects, making for a more relaxed gameplay style. The battles are designed to provide instant gratification with real-time decision-making, coupled with rogue-like elements that enhance replayability and depth.
Set in a futuristic city called
Sync City, where AI robots known as Workroids coexist with humans, players will assume the role of the leader of a special task force called
R.U.S.H, formed to combat rampant Workroid malfunctions. Joined by an independent-thinking Workroid companion known as
Buddy, players will navigate unpredictable scenarios and challenges.
