Hey Xbox enthusiasts, buckle up! The much-anticipated cyberpunk FPS sensation, Turbo Overkill, slices its way onto Xbox today with its signature chainsaw leg.
Brought to life by the indie masterminds at Trigger Happy Interactive and legendary publisher Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill takes us on a rollercoaster ride down memory lane. It cleverly combines the pulse-pounding action of old-school legends like Doom and Quake with modern twists. Dive into the gritty neon world of Paradise as Johnny Turbo, a cyborg anti-hero equipped with all sorts of imaginative weaponry and a compelling need for revenge.
Now, what exactly is Paradise hiding behind its neon glow? It’s far from the flawless haven it’s cracked up to be. Instead, it’s a sprawling metropolis teetering under the weight of corporate greed and rogue AI. You’ll navigate Johnny Turbo across three sprawling episodes, each teeming with intricate designs, memorable faces, and relentless chaos, running seamlessly at 60 FPS.
Key Features of Turbo Overkill:
Iconic Combat: Arm yourself with ridiculously powerful weapons—from dual magnums to plasma railguns—and transform every battle into a spectacular massacre.
Kinetic Gameplay: Master wall-runs, double jumps, and mid-air chainsaw slides for fast-paced, fluid combat that rewards your creative instincts.
Epic Levels: Traverse neon slums, desolate arenas, towering office blocks, and even venture into the cosmos across Turbo Overkill’s three episodes.
Enhanced for Xbox: Experience a smooth 60 FPS and visual enhancements on Xbox Series X|S, immersing you in an experience unlike any other.
Let’s delve into Turbo Overkill’s stellar voice acting ensemble:
- Patricia Summersett (known for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) voices the mysterious bounty hunter, Ripper.
- Jon St. John (the iconic voice of Duke Nukem) brings life to Johnny’s cracking AI sidekick, SAMM.
- Gianni Matragrano (Ultrakill fame) voices the crafty and cutthroat Maw.
- DB Cooper (BioShock 2’s talent) plays the enigmatic TeraTek executive, The Exec.
- Tay Zonday (remember Chocolate Rain?) voices Dr. Nyx, Johnny’s bio-mod surgeon.
These performances weave layers into Turbo Overkill’s gripping storyline, ensuring each interaction leaves a mark as unforgettable as the gameplay itself.
