Prepare yourselves, Xbox gamers—Turbo Overkill, the much-praised cyberpunk FPS, has arrived with all its chainsaw-legged glory on Xbox today.
Brought to life by indie devs Trigger Happy Interactive alongside the legendary Apogee Entertainment, this game throws a nostalgic nod to classics like Doom and Quake. It marries the frenetic action of yore with the sleek energy and speed of modern gaming. Dive headfirst into the neon chaos of Paradise as Johnny Turbo, a cybernetically charged anti-hero on a revenge-fueled mission. Armed with a jaw-dropping arsenal, including a chainsaw leg, Johnny is set to blaze a fiery path through this gritty world.
What You’ll Encounter in Paradise
Paradise isn’t the haven it was branded as. Instead, it’s a sprawling cityscape plagued by corporate deceit and rogue AI horrors. As Johnny, you’ll navigate through vast episodes packed with elaborate levels and characters that leave a mark—all running at a buttery-smooth 60 FPS.
Turbo Overkill’s Key Features:
- Legendary Combat: Unleash an outrageous array of weapons, from dual magnums to plasma railguns, turning each skirmish into a blood-soaked showcase.
- Dynamic Gameplay: Execute wall-runs, double jumps, and chainsaw slides with finesse for a fast-paced, destruction-driven experience.
- Epic Environments: Wage war through neon slums, deserted arenas, corporate towers, and cosmic depths across three immersive episodes.
- Xbox Enhancements: Experience seamless 60 FPS and upgraded visuals on Xbox Series X|S for a truly visceral gaming experience.
Voices That Bring Paradise to Life
Turbo Overkill boasts an impressive voice cast that injects soul into its gritty ensemble:
- Patricia Summersett (known for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) as Ripper, the deadly bounty hunter.
- Jon St. John (famed for Duke Nukem) voices SAMM, Johnny’s wisecracking AI sidekick.
- Gianni Matragrano plays Maw, a cunning and ruthless opponent.
- DB Cooper portrays The Exec, a TeraTek exec with a hidden agenda.
- Tay Zonday stars as Dr. Nyx, the bio-cybernetics genius.
Their performances deepen Turbo Overkill’s action-packed story, making each interaction as memorable as its relentless battles.
