About
I Am Overburdened is a silly roguelike with a fun twist to the tried and true classical formula. The player takes the role of an artifact hunter, who has a surprisingly large carrying capacity, embarking on a quest to search through dungeon after dungeon for mystical artifacts and answers, in a world where magic has long been forgotten...
What is this 20 slots, 100+ unique artifacts RPG nonsense?
Simple, your "hero" does not get more powerful magically by beating some orcs to death and he is not a wizard either. In the world of I Am Overburdened the art of magic wielding was lost, but legendary artifacts and relics retained their power. If you equip these you become stronger, sometimes immeasurably, and you may even learn reactive skills and otherworldly abilities, but no sane person wears two pants...
- Turn based rogue-like with permanent death.
- Run focused campaign, playable in short bursts.
- Fill a huge inventory having 20 slots.
- Find more than 100 crazy artifacts, all of them unique.
- Learn the ins and outs of an RPG system which feels approachable and fresh, but familiar and deep at the same time.
- Crawl in procedural dungeons generated from hand authored layouts.
- Collect details about monsters and artifacts in your journal.
- Unfold a funny story, packed with vicious evils, puns and jokes.
- Immortalize your best playthroughs in the "Hall of Fame".

A very nice little rogue-like.
The +: + runs quite short (20 to 40 minutes to defeat the boss).
+ The game is very pleasant, there are many different objects and some associations made at random are very powerful and fun! The game is still based on the luck of your run and also on your urge to force it or not, sometimes it will not be too push Grandma in the nettles, otherwise you will eat the dandelions by the root.
+ Several ways to play for now (and probably more in the future): 1-two difficulty modes: the normal mode, once the boss is defeated, one unlocks a nightmare mode quite strong and that requires more luck and testing. And once the boss is defeated in this mode, we unlock the treasure mode.
2-the treasure mode can be played in normal or nightmare, in addition to that, it is played in two ways: we have access to all the objects of the game even those that we have never met, one can either choose or even which object one takes in the proposed category (in the order of power e: blue, yellow, green and violet) or let it happen, sometimes this chance drove me crazy for the last success of the game but I ended up getting there and it is enjoyable to finally succeed a run at the nose!
The-:-the RnG that can Rager but the dev worked on it for normal mode and nightmare and personal, I have not suffered at the beginning and now it is even more enjoyable, the departures are easier. On the other hand, in treasure mode, the chance of our hero does not intervene for the drop of random objects and sometimes we hit the same several times without being able to fill his inventory of other things, which leads to a run that ends well before the end...
-The life span can be short depending on what you aim, if you just want to finish the game once in normal mode, with luck and knowing a little bit about the game, it will take you about 2-3h, no more (for my part, it took me about 1h20 before getting to win r for the first time and I realized that I had a lot of luck because it was difficult to kill him a second time). If you like to unblock objects etc. you will need more time, much more. And the game has a lot of things to offer at this level. Personally, I had all the successes after 15h of game.
Conclusion: I feted, if the trailer speaks to you and you still hesitate, find a video on the net, for my part, after seeing a let's play, I immediately hung and I ran on it, I do not regret. In addition the dev plans to add soon objects and modes of play, keenly the sequel!
