![]() The cool thing about the Fuse powers that you utilize is that they never run dry. No matter which soldier you’re in, you’ll be able to earn experience points, which you can then turn around to enhance your special abilities so you can do some major damage. ![]() An ability known as Leap, this allows you to go from one soldier to the next, as you can utilize their talents depending on the situation, then go back to a favorite. You’ll learn that quickly enough, because Fuse actually gives you an ability that most team-based games lack – being able to jump from one soldier to another almost instantaneously. Each character has special abilities that prove very useful when it comes to battling enemies, whether in the middle of an ambush or charging into a power station to some capacity. From what we’ve seen thus far, that’s what Fuse is. If you’re familiar with Insomniac’s Resistance franchise, then you know they can buckle down and create a swelling action experience. However, it isn’t long before it lands in the wrong hands, and the quartet of soldiers must do whatever it takes – including using some of these powers – to retrieve it. It’s sometime in the near future, and this energy source has been adapted from strange alien beings. The plot to Fuse actually involves energy that goes by that same name. In fact, the focus on more genuine action may be the best thing going for it. That’s not to say the gameplay looks like it’ll suffer, though. The game, which will be coming next year, continues to have the four members that were initially introduced in Overstrike, but rather than working with a cavalier rock-n-roll attitude, as they were in the debut trailer, this team is more tightly wound by military tactics, and it’s anything but a laugh as they try to defeat enemy forces. Not only that, but it also received an intimidating new name – Fuse. ![]() Was it still in development? And if so, what was Insomniac up to? We didn’t hear anything up until a few weeks ago, when the project re-emerged with a more mainstream action focus in mind. However, since that initial showing, we haven’t heard too much from Overstrike. That game, Overstrike, was first shown at E3 via a brief trailer, featuring over-the-top gameplay and a wink-in-the-eye presentation that the company was known for. However, last summer, it shook up the system a bit when it announced that it was working with Electronic Arts on a new third party project. For the longest time, the team only worked on the PlayStation 3, producing exclusive content for Sony. Just play any of the Ratchet and Clank games and you’ll see what we mean. Even though not every game that they release is a guaranteed home run (Resistance 2 grinded for a while), Ted Price and his cohorts always put forth a grand effort that few third party teams can match.
