Turbo Overkill

By just about every single metric for evaluating a boomer shooter, Turbo Overkill excels and delivers in spades. I had a near limitless amount of agency to play as I want and still enjoy a boomer shooter experience without frills, gimmicks, and other artificial difficulty spikes. It oozes creativity while taking players on an exhilarating ride through a cyberpunk apocalypse. It’s the perfect blend of gore, seriousness, and silliness. Turbo Overkill is a literal spectacle of unfettered, high-octane boomer shooter gameplay. Call it a symphony of destruction, mayhem, gore, and violence. Call it bloody good fun. Call it whatever you want, really, so long as fun is somewhere in that mix. The world of Turbo Overkill is one worth exploring and desecrating with Johnny Turbo’s chainsaw leg.

Absurd, unrelenting and endlessly creative, Turbo Overkill is a masterfully composed symphony of violence.

Turbo Overkill is an action game that throws in pop-culture references at every step and draws heavily on the genre’s achievements but combines everything it borrows in a surprisingly creative way. And unlike many retro shooters that end after four hours, you can actually get your fill of this one.

With a name like Turbo Overkill, one is correct to assume that it is full of that cheesy madness, which is exactly what it delivers as it fully embraces the Boomer Shooter subgenre. Turbo Overkill is an encapsulation of absurdity, trying to push itself to the heights of stupendous fun through its creative weapons, augmentations and dumb, wild scenarios while offering plenty of mechanics and rapid gameplay to satisfy those old-school action lovers. With its superb throwback visuals, quality soundtrack, outlandish level design, and hyper-bloody action that never seems to let up, Turbo Overkill is a great recommendation for anyone looking for a quality and thrilling first-person shooter in 2023.

The nostalgic action ride will mainly be enjoyed by veterans, but every lover of the genre should give it a chance, because it is very addictive.

Everything is frantic, fast-paced, and depicted with excessive amounts of graphical and auditory flair. If you enjoyed the fast and frantic pace of Doom Eternal, this game will scratch the very same FPS itch. [Early Access Review Score = 85]

A nice reference to classic first-person shooters. What adds to the similarity, besides the brisk bloody gameplay, is the game's visuals, which are a nice combination of 3D models and pixel graphics. The gameplay experience is complemented by the metallic music, which underlines the brutality of the game perfectly. [Issue#319]

Amazing retro style FPS. Hadn't had a fill of adrenaline like this since I finished Doom Eternal. Super recommended game!

This game is like low budget doom. I liked it but after a while it gets repetitive and boring.

God this is the fastest game I've ever played and it's also a shooter which is a big plus for me. There are excellent levels where you can fly in a car, ride a motorcycle and run on furs. But there are also obviously unfortunate disadvantages that lead to a lengthy narrative, which is the main disadvantage of the game, this is protractedness. And so, the experiment is successful and even with great music.

Скудное разнообразие противников и локаций, которые визуально сильно не разятся между собой. А так динамика игры и саунд не дает заскучать, но дизайн некоторых уровней вызывал дезориентацию и моментами противники спавнились прям перед носом, что гасило интерес. Сюжет понятно что не является чем то захватывающим в данной игре. Ну а так побегать пострелять можно, проходняк не более

Wall jumps are completely broken, even with boots and agile augments. A, left stick, dash... Impossible. I love PC and Xbox versions but Switch port is a shame.
