Xbox fans, gear up, because Turbo Overkill, the highly praised cyberpunk FPS, is hitting the console today, and it’s more electrifying than ever!
Courtesy of indie dev Trigger Happy Interactive and the iconic Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill pays homage to classic shooters like Doom and Quake by combining their pulse-pounding action with contemporary flair. Dive headfirst into the neon-glistening chaos of Paradise, taking on the role of Johnny Turbo. He’s no ordinary protagonist—he’s a cybernetically modified anti-hero armed with creative tools, a killer chainsaw leg, and a relentless quest for revenge.
So what’s waiting for you in Paradise? This futuristic megacity isn’t the utopian dream as promised. It’s a grimy battlefield plagued by corporate greed and unruly AIs. As Johnny, you’ll journey through three expansive episodes packed with complex levels, memorable characters, and relentless action—all running seamlessly at 60 FPS.
Let’s delve into some of Turbo Overkill’s key features:
Iconic Combat: Arm yourself with outlandish firepower, including dual magnums and plasma railguns, turning every session into a spectacularly gory display.
Kinetic Gameplay: Execute wall-runs, double jumps, and mid-air chainsaw slides for dynamic, rapid combat that rewards inventive mayhem.
Epic Levels: Explore neon-infused slums, forsaken arenas, corporate towers, and even the far reaches of space across three thrilling episodes.
Enhanced for Xbox: Relish incredibly smooth 60 FPS gameplay with enhanced visuals on Xbox Series X|S, promising an immersive experience like no other.
Turbo Overkill also boasts a top-notch voice cast adding life to its gritty characters. Patricia Summersett lends her voice to the mystifying and lethal bounty hunter Ripper. Jon St. John, the voice behind Duke Nukem, brings wit to Johnny’s AI sidekick, SAMM. Gianni Matragrano voices the shrewd Maw, while DB Cooper takes on the role of the enigmatic TeraTek executive, The Exec. Lastly, Tay Zonday becomes Dr. Nyx, Johnny’s bio-cybernetics expert. Their spectacular performances enrich Turbo Overkill’s heart-pounding storyline, making every encounter and interaction truly memorable.
