If you’ve been craving a high-speed, blood-soaked cyberpunk shooter with over-the-top action, you’re in luck. Apogee Entertainment and Trigger Happy Interactive have officially released Turbo Overkill on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Switch for £15.99 / $19.99. After tearing through Early Access on PC, this chaotic FPS is now ready to melt faces across all major platforms.
What is Turbo Overkill?
Imagine DOOM and Quake had a neon-drenched cyberpunk lovechild, then gave it a chainsaw leg. That’s Turbo Overkill. You step into the boots of Johnny Turbo, a bounty hunter with more augmentations than common sense. His mission? Clean up the city of Paradise, which has been overrun by Syn, a rogue AI that’s turned the population into cybernetic nightmares. The only problem? Other bounty hunters want that paycheck just as much as you do.
A playground of destruction
This isn’t your average run-and-gun shooter. Turbo Overkill cranks the action up to eleven with:
- A chainsaw leg – Because shooting is too mainstream. Slide into enemies and watch them explode into digital confetti.
- Turbo Time – Think bullet-time, but with even more chaos. Slow down reality and chain together ridiculous combos.
- Wall-running and grappling hooks – Movement is king. Whether you’re sprinting across walls or yanking yourself into enemies for a shotgun-to-the-face moment, Turbo Overkill keeps you moving at breakneck speeds.
- Ridiculous weapons – From twin Magnums that lock onto enemies to a sniper rifle that teleports you inside foes before they burst apart, every weapon is designed for maximum carnage.
- Boss augments – Kill a boss, steal its power. Upgrade Johnny with deadly new abilities and stack them with weapon mods for some truly broken builds.
- Flying car surfing – Why would you fight on the ground when you can ride a hovercar into battle?
More than just a shooter
Beyond its adrenaline-pumping combat, Turbo Overkill packs in two dozen levels filled with secrets, bonus challenges, and game-changing modifiers. Want to fight at triple speed or turn on Insta-kill mode? Go for it. The game throws you into a white-knuckle mix of exploration, combat puzzles, and outright mayhem.
Is it worth playing?
If you love DOOM (2016), Quake III Arena, or classic Apogee shooters like Duke Nukem 3D, this game was practically built for you. Scott Miller, the legendary mind behind Wolfenstein 3D, Duke Nukem, and Max Payne, called Turbo Overkill “a sandbox of fun and original gameplay ideas.” And honestly? He’s not wrong.
