Major Update — Patch Notes v0.9.0

Dear Overriders, greetings!

Thank you all for your passionate support and valuable feedback! After a period of intensive development, "OverRider" V 0.9.0 is now officially live!

In this update, we’ve not only optimized the Full Super Armor Break system and introduced the brand-new Training Room, but also made multiple improvements across the game.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new!

Combat System Rework: Super Armor Overhaul

To enhance combat strategy and interaction, we have completely reworked the rules of enemy Super Armor.

• While in Super Armor, enemies now have a hidden Durability value. When this Durability reaches zero, the enemy will exit the Super Armor state.

• Durability is refreshed every time an enemy uses a new skill.

Ways to reduce Durability include:

• Dealing Damage: The basic way to chip away at Durability.

• Blocking: Successfully blocking an attack will greatly reduce Durability.

• Skills: Some attacks that previously broke Super Armor instantly now deal significant Durability damage instead of an immediate break.

• Ultimate Skills: All Ultimate Skills still instantly break Super Armor.

New Feature: Training Room Now Available

We’ve heard your requests for a proper place to practice and test builds. You can now access the brand-new Training Room via the leftmost terminal in the Clinic:

• AddedBasic TutorialsIncludes training stages covering the game’s core mechanics, helping both new and veteran players master combat fundamentals.

• Free Training Mode: Unlocked after defeating Ritsuko Nitta. In this mode, you can freely equip any build items that you have obtained at least once inside the Chrysalis.

  (Unfortunately, build items won’t be retroactively added to old save files, since we didn’t track that data at all before.)

• AddedNew Achievements4 new achievements related to the Training Room and build collection have been added.

Optimizations & Bug Fixes

• Enemy Spawn Logic Adjustments: Optimized enemy compositions and spawn pacing in later stages to prevent excessive on-screen chaos.

• FixedShop FixesFixed inconsistencies between displayed items and actual items for sale in the shop.

• Achievement System Fixes:

  • Fixed issues where some achievements could not be completed.

  • Corrected discrepancies between achievement descriptions and their actual completion requirements.
