Brace yourselves, Xbox aficionados—Turbo Overkill, the much-praised cyberpunk first-person shooter, is roaring onto Xbox today with its iconic chainsaw-legged action.
Crafted by the indie minds at Trigger Happy Interactive and published by the legendary Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill is a nostalgic nod to classic shooters like Doom and Quake. It deftly merges their fast-paced, explosive gameplay with a modern flair. You’re thrust into the gritty, neon-lit chaos of Paradise, embodying Johnny Turbo—an anti-hero with cybernetic enhancements, packing a wild array of armaments, and driven by revenge.
Discover the True Face of Paradise
Paradise falls short of its utopian promise. This futuristic cityscape is steeped in corporate greed and plagued by AI gone awry, making it a treacherous war zone. As Johnny Turbo, gear up to navigate three expansive episodes, each brimming with complex levels, unforgettable personalities, and relentless action—all running smoothly at 60 frames per second.
Highlights of Turbo Overkill:
-
Unforgettable Combat: Arm yourself with outrageous firepower, from dual-wielding magnums to cutting-edge plasma railguns, turning every skirmish into a blood-soaked spectacle.
-
Dynamic Gameplay: Master wall-running, execute double jumps, and perform mid-air chainsaw slides for a seamless, fast-paced combat style that encourages innovative destruction.
-
Epic Environments: Venture through glowing slums, deserted arenas, towering corporate structures, and even the vastness of space across its tri-pack episodes.
- Optimized for Xbox: Experience enhanced graphics and a buttery 60 FPS on Xbox Series X|S, offering an unmatched, immersive gaming adventure.
The Vibrant Voices of Paradise
Turbo Overkill features a remarkable voice cast vibrantly bringing its gritty characters to life:
- Patricia Summersett (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom) voices the lethal bounty hunter, Ripper.
- Jon St. John (Duke Nukem) lends his voice to Johnny’s clever AI sidekick, SAMM.
- Gianni Matragrano (Ultrakill, Neon White) embodies the cunning antagonist, Maw.
- DB Cooper (BioShock 2, The Elder Scrolls Online) plays The Exec, a mysterious TeraTek executive with her own hidden motives.
- Tay Zonday (Chocolate Rain) is the voice behind Dr. Nyx, Johnny’s bio-cybernetics expert.
Their stellar performances infuse the high-octane narrative with depth, making every clash and dialogue just as memorable as the action.
