Hey Xbox enthusiasts, buckle up. The much-loved cyberpunk FPS, Turbo Overkill, has revved up its chainsaw leg and zoomed onto the Xbox platform, creating waves today.
Developed by indie masterminds at Trigger Happy Interactive and brought to the gaming world by the iconic Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill takes inspiration from classic shooters like Doom and Quake, marrying that retro thrill with sleek modern elements. Players step into the shoes of Johnny Turbo, a tech-enhanced anti-hero roaring through Paradise—a city painted in neon, filled with chaos, and swamped in corruption. Armed with a bizarre arsenal and a thirst for vengeance, Johnny’s adventure is one jam-packed rollercoaster ride.
Now, let’s delve deeper into the game’s dystopian world.
Exploring the Chaos of Paradise
Paradise is anything but the dreamlike haven it pretends to be. This seemingly futuristic city is a matrix of corporate conspiracies and rogue AI creatures. As Johnny Turbo, gear up for three grand episodes filled with intricate plots, diverse characters, and relentless action, all running silky-smooth at 60 FPS.
Why Turbo Overkill Stands Out:
- Combat You’ll Remember: From dual magnums to plasma railguns, turn skirmishes into visually stunning displays.
- Dynamic Movement: Master wall-runs, double jumps, and chain mid-air chainsaw slides creating a blend of creativity and chaos.
- Visually Captivating Levels: Dive through neon-infused slums, monumental skyscrapers, all the way to cosmic battle arenas spread over three episodes.
- Xbox Optimization: Delight in enhanced graphics and smooth 60 FPS on Xbox Series X|S, ensuring an immersive, standout experience.
Meet Paradise’s Voice Cast
Turbo Overkill doesn’t just bring visual and gameplay excitement—it also shines in its voice acting department. The narrative comes to life thanks to stars like:
- Patricia Summersett as the menacing bounty hunter, Ripper.
- Jon St. John lends his voice to the wisecracking AI buddy SAMM.
- Gianni Matragrano voices the shrewd and scheming Maw.
- D B Cooper brings depth to The Exec, a shadowy TeraTek leader.
- The unforgettable Tay Zonday portrays Dr. Nyx, the mastermind behind Johnny’s bio-enhancements.
Their performances propel the story forward, enhancing the game’s adrenaline-fueled experiences and making every moment distinct.
