*copied from Wiki*
Overgrowth takes place in the savage world of Lugaru where rabbits, wolves and other animals are forced to use paws, claws and medieval weaponry to engage each other in battle. Combining 3rd person adventure platforming with intricate melee combat, Overgrowth achieves a unique feel. Overgrowth also benefits from Wolfire's brand new Phoenix Engine which has been built from the ground up to allow the use of cutting edge graphics, animation, and physics. Add to these exciting features Overgrowth�s realistic artificial intelligence and streamlined control system and the result is an astoundingly immersive experience.

My opinion:
Well, this game is only in its alpha stages, (175 as of now), and it's awesome. You're able to do parkour, do huge jumps, and beat the living balls out of other NPCs. I'm pretty sure they're having a split screen/multiplayer feature, which makes this game even better.

You can preorder the game by clicking the logo, and if you do preorder it, you can play the alpha versions too. It's only $30 as of now.

I highly recommend buying this game.

Lugaru?

Yeah

I don't think it's very feature-creeped though. From what I can tell from the dev logs the people working on this really know what they're doing. Besides, the game doesn't have many actual features at the moment anyway.

The beginning of the first one, Lugaru, was absolutely evil.

Yeah, I've played some of the alphas. I don't plan on downloading any more alphas though until a major update comes though.

Yeah, I'll probably stick with 175 until a big update. It takes like, an hour to download each one for me.
