Granted it was became an FPS but infinitely bigger hit than ''Fuse'' ever was. If anything, shortly after its release, shooters with a slightly cartoony artstyle (''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Valorant}}'', ''VideoGame/ApexLegends'', etc) became so dominant in the casual market that still didn't negate the fact that it's fun personality attracted audiences which is something this game could've gotten if EA didn't try to follow the treads of the time.had ''Overstrike'' been unveiled around 2017, it would have probably been seen as a trend-chaser.
