Overstrike
What Overstrike is
Overstrike is a free, open-source mod manager for PC ports of Insomniac Games titles. It detects supported games and lets users keep multiple profiles for each, then switch between them. When launched, it scans its Mods Library folder and can find mods in .7z, .zip, and .rar archives. Users can reorder mods with drag and drop, disable them, and install the enabled mods to a game. Supported formats include .smpcmod, .mmpcmod, .suit, .stage, and .modular. For games that support suit mods, a Suits Menu tab lets users reorder, remove, or modify suits shown in the game menu. The Quickstart lists Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Overstrike is made for 64-bit Windows and requires the x64 .NET 7.0 Desktop Runtime. The maker says Proton may allow it to run on Linux, but does not guarantee that. If installation fails, the game is left unmodded and a detailed report is written to errors.log. The project uses the GPLv3 license.
