Get A Peek At OverDrive’s Giant Players By Mantic Games
July 14, 2021 by brennon
Mantic Games are continuing to preview more from their upcoming Sci-Fi sports game, OverDrive. This week we saw the start of their video series which teaches you how to play but also a look at the Giant miniatures you'll be able to paint up!
Dozer // OverDrive
Each of the characters that you see here were painted up by the talented hand of Studio Giraldez and show off what you can do with these miniatures! There is a great variety in the terms of Giants you'll be able to paint up and play in the game, all with their unique powers to bring to the tabletop.
Karadon // OverDrive
One of my particular favourites is Karadon above. I grew up in the era of Street Sharks so I am all too familiar with the lure of weresharks. Build onto that my love of the Rokea from World Of Darkness and models like this one push all the right buttons.
As well as there being some very "Saturday Morning Cartoon" miniatures in this collection, you'll also note a fair few which wouldn't look out of place on the battlefields of Warpath.
Skarathron // OverDrive
It's neat that the whole "Warpath" aesthetic hasn't been lost within the range. It makes OverDrive feel like it's part of an expanded universe whilst also giving it a unique look. It is very bright and poppy which matches with the style of game Mantic are putting together.
Brank Reborn // OverDrive
You can also take things to the next level and start throwing in some weird alien awesomeness too. I think The Spawn might be my second favourite of the miniatures in the set just because of all of the tentacle gribbliness!
The Spawn // OverDrive
I totally made up "gribbliness" and I am sticking with it. If you want to get even weirder with your aliens then consider the strange and ethereal quality of Synechdoche!

That gives you a look at the different Giants that you're going to get to play with in the core box for OverDrive. More are planned for the future to help you expand on your draft options. It will be cool to see how long it takes players to work out the strongest combinations!
How To Play OverDrive
Also, make sure to check out their current set of introductory OverDrive videos showing you how to play the game.

Ooh fantastic looking game figures.
Those look great.
Fantastic looking figures and maybe a interesting game to checkout too!
If Karadon doesnt have some sort of sharknado themed move I’ll be disapointed ??️
So they’ve reskinned Dreadball with all of the biggest figures they could scavenge from their other game lines, but without the ball?
It is quite a big departure from Dreadball but is derived from it. Should play and feel very differently.
The models shown here are all existing Dreadball models (except for the Spider I think). There are going to be some all new models coming as well thoug.
They are all pre/existing DreadBall / DreadBall Xtreme giants, including the Krastovor spider-robot. Good for mantic they can make something more with them and give them a new lease on life.
