The test covers iOS and Android, with downloads starting on the 17th. Recommended hardware includes iPhone 12 or later on iOS 15.0 and Android 11 with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 class chip or better, at 4GB and 8GB of RAM respectively, and at least 5GB of free storage. Nobody gets to keep progress: the developer plans to reset OBT data because the build is tuned separately. Players who fill out the survey by September 24 at 23:59 receive a code for an in-game item usable after launch. Registration runs on the official site and at the NHN PlayArt booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, which runs September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe. A Steam version is planned.","whyItMatters":"Producer and director Kota Terada says the game is an experiment in whether a hybrid casual model, free to play with gacha and ad support, can work in Japan, and he has said he would like to release it within the year if the beta response allows.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eAll five are unlocked during the test, with one character opening each day. Producer and director Kota Terada, who is also main planner, said the project began in late July two years ago with about five people and now runs at roughly 20. Development is 80 to 90 percent complete, with monetization and events still unfinished. He cited Slay the Spire as an influence and said card costs were cut after playtesters said they did not want to memorize card effects.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTerada said on the reasoning for the beta timing: \u0026#34;It was originally planned as a closed beta test, but it happened to overlap with TGS2026, so we thought, why not just make it an OBT?\u0026#34; On RUSH mode costumes, he said Purge and Full Armor are a form packed with a boy\u0026#39;s dreams. Post-launch plans include guilds, raid battles, season passes, Buddy skins, and Buddy mini-scenarios. A repost campaign from September 17 gives one winner signed shikishi from the five voice actors, and the TGS booth (Hall 2 S08) has a playable demo, life-size photo panels, a limited card gacha drawing 3 of 10 card types, cosplay masks, a stamp rally, and a live performance by the NHN PlayArt sound team.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"OVER RUSH wipes all beta progress and places the reward, an item code, past the reset.

NHN PlayArt incentivizes testing a build that does not persist.","threadsPost":"OVER RUSH resets every bit of beta progress, since the build is tuned separately from launch. That makes NHN PlayArt's survey item code the one reward that outlives the test, and the reason to grind a week that gets erased.","newsletterBlurb":"NHN PlayArt opens the OVER RUSH beta on September 17, a real-time card battle RPG where you connect same-color cards and counter enemy attacks. The test runs to September 24 on iOS and Android, with progress wiped afterward and a Steam version planned.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"4Gamer.net\",\"url\":\"https://www.4gamer.net/games/040/G104060/20260909021/\",\"title\":\"スピーディで簡単で面白いって最高だよね？　爆速カードバトル「OVER RUSH」先行プレイ＆開発インタビューをお届け\"},{\"source\":\"Inside\",\"url\":\"https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2026/09/15/187775.html\",\"title\":\"New Game 'OVER RUSH' Open Beta Test Starts September 17!
