    This an awful game. The combat system is great and I wish I could be used in a better game. Let me give you the run down medicore story, one deminsional main and side characters, awful pacing forced and uncomfortable anime tropes shoved in, janky animations, weird looking 3d character models, and destablzing textures. After 8 hours of play I felt physically ill just playing and whileThis an awful game. The combat system is great and I wish I could be used in a better game. Let me give you the run down medicore story, one deminsional main and side characters, awful pacing forced and uncomfortable anime tropes shoved in, janky animations, weird looking 3d character models, and destablzing textures. After 8 hours of play I felt physically ill just playing and while notcing how the texture looked the spread out jngs. And The Difficulty curve (on Normal) goes from too easy to the game almost preventing you to attack enemys due to some **** accurcy percentage and no the percentage does not change based on how close you are to the enemy but random. Lesson here folks just play Persona 5 because at least that game wont want to make you hang your self.… Expand

    If you would call this a poor man's Persona, you would not be far from the truth. But is there really no beauty in poverty? Yeah, this game made us think about stuff way too much, but that does not mean it is not a great and fun title. It lacks a bit of polish but still offers plenty of reasons for you to grab a Switch and delve into its world of lies, mystery and moral dilemmas. Oh and some catchy j-pop too!

    While it is the strongest version of The Caligula Effect, it is hard to recommend Overdose to anyone but the most hardcore of fans given its flaws.

    Ultimately, there are many issues with The Caligula Effect: Overdose. There were many things in the game that I truly wanted to like, but unfortunately they do not save it from being a poor title. In its entirety, The Caligula Effect: Overdose is an underwhelming and mediocre experience from beginning to end.
