Crash Override

Overview

Mow down hordes to power up and save the mainframe. Survive a run to save the core, or derezz while trying, and then rezz again. Match weapons and upgrades to create an overpowered build. Move quickly to stay ahead of the crash wave. Collect data before it's lost forever.

Play Crash Override as one of 6 avatars against a horde of viral glitches. Explore the cybernet with its 2D monochrome 80s CRT visual style and driving retro synthwave soundtrack.

Liberate CPU fragments from glitches in the mainframe. The more CPU fragments collected the faster your avatar becomes, and with enough CPU, the location of the virus is decoded.

Reach CPU level 100+ to unlock the location of the virus.

RAM fragments can be collected. RAM provides storage for new weapon and upgrade programs.

Data fragments can be found. Data provides keys to unlock doors and access to locked caches.
