Memorable characters and soundtrack made this metroidvania game wonderful choice for adding to my library.

PROS: Very addictive + Superb musics + good environments CONS: pixel graphics

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Fabulous game! If you like Metroidvania syle games with awesome action and gore all done in post-apocalyptic beautiful pixel art, you must try this! Don't have to have seen the movie, but if you liked the movie you'll also like the game.

I give this a 9.5/10. Everything about is totally brilliant and individual, If there were a couple more bosses it would be a perfect game. I would say that the initial load time is a bit long, but then it uses an old/school manual save point mechanic which is instant, where turbo Kid sits on a sofa and reads a comic because apparently that makes sense. Maybe that’s the movie reference, I don’t know as I haven’t seen the film. Weird. Actually I give it a bit more for being weird so it’s a 9.75 from me. If you like metroids, get it now. If you like retro games, get it yesterday. Oh, and you get a bike that you can use and not use as you wish and can even do bike races. That’s beyond fun and cool. It’s a complete original and it’s weird.

Based on the Turbo Kid Movie which was an apocalyptic themed movie in the vein of Mad Max with a distinct and fully intentional quirky retro feel. It got a lot of love and attention from B-movie fans. The game is brilliant and carries over the fantastic retro vibes: the art and soundtrack is incredible! The gameplay is sublime. The controls take a little getting used to but once you do the game becomes incredibly fluid, smooth and enjoyable. You can summon a bike at the push of a button and navigating the game world with it is an absolute pleasure. If you are a fan of metroidvania games or Turbo Kid this game perfectly captures the world of Turbo Kid whilst also being a really great metroidvania. The retro feel is just the icing on the cake if like me you are in to that. Highly recommended. The developer Outerminds who also created PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist have a lot of potential.
