Overstaffed
Overstaffed is a two-player co-op action-adventure game set in the world of Arrilla.
The wizards the players control are exploring an ancient area known as the Forsaken Ruins, home to many different environments each with their own climate and inhabitants in order to retrieve an artifact that is said to be extremely powerful.
The game features multiple co-op elements such as overstacking, allowing players to throw each other to reach normally unreachable areas or defeat more difficult enemies.
