Attention Xbox gamers, adrenaline-fueled chaos is here! Turbo Overkill, a critically acclaimed cyberpunk FPS, is roaring onto Xbox today, ready to rev up your gaming experience with its unique twist — a chainsaw leg.
Birthed from the creativity of indie developer Trigger Happy Interactive and the legendary Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill pays homage to the good ol’ days of shooters like Doom and Quake. It merges their epic, fast-paced action with cutting-edge style and speed, plunging players into a neon-lit dystopian world called Paradise. Here, you step into the boots of Johnny Turbo, a relentless anti-hero enhanced with cybernetic upgrades, wielding an arsenal of imaginative weaponry and, of course, that infamous chainsaw leg.
Exploring Paradise
Forget the idea of Paradise as a utopia; this futuristic mega city is anything but. Dominated by corporate sleaze and out-of-control AI, it’s a playground for chaos and battle. Playing as Johnny Turbo, you’ll be drawn into three sprawling episodes jam-packed with intense levels, unforgettable figures, and non-stop action, all running buttery-smooth at 60 FPS.
Why Turbo Overkill Stands Out:
-
Legendary Combat: Arm yourself with outrageous firepower, from dual magnums to plasma railguns, and turn every clash into a memorable bloodbath.
-
Dynamic Gameplay: Master wall-runs, double jumps, and mid-air chainsaw slides for fluid and exhilarating combat. Creativity in destruction is the name of the game here.
-
Epic Environments: Fight your way through everything from neon slums and forgotten arenas to towering skyscrapers and even outer space across the game’s episodes.
- Xbox Enhanced: Enjoy the game in silky 60 FPS and with upgraded visuals on Xbox Series X|S, delivering a thrilling and gripping experience like none other.
The Sounds of Paradise
Turbo Overkill packs an incredible sound experience, featuring a stellar voice cast that breathes life into its gritty world:
-
Patricia Summersett, known from The Legend of Zelda, lends her voice to the mysterious and lethal bounty hunter Ripper.
-
Well-known for his iconic work as Duke Nukem, Jon St. John plays SAMM, Johnny’s sarcastic AI sidekick.
-
Gianni Matragrano, of Ultrakill fame, voices the cunning Maw.
-
Veteran voice actor DB Cooper portrays The Exec, a powerful yet secretive TeraTek executive.
- Internet sensation Tay Zonday provides his tones to Dr. Nyx, Johnny’s bio-cybernetics expert.
Their performances give depth to Turbo Overkill’s heady narrative, ensuring every interaction leaves a lasting impact.
