Hey there, Xbox fans—buckle up because Turbo Overkill, the much-vaunted cyberpunk FPS, is storming onto Xbox today, ready to fire up your consoles with its chainsaw leg action!
Crafted by the indie powerhouse Trigger Happy Interactive and brought to you by the iconic Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill pays homage to classic shooters such as Doom and Quake. It merges old-school, frenetic gameplay with a fresh, sleek style, dropping you into the neon chaos of Paradise. Here, you step into the boots of Johnny Turbo, a cyber-enhanced anti-hero packing some wild weaponry, a chainsaw leg, and a razor-sharp focus on revenge.
What Paradise Has in Store
Don’t be misled by its name—Paradise is anything but. This sprawling megacity, plagued by corporate greed and runaway AI foes, is your ruthless arena. Playing as Johnny Turbo, navigate through three expansive episodes packed with complex levels, memorable characters, and relentless mayhem, all flowing at a smooth 60 FPS.
Highlights That Make Turbo Overkill Stand Out:
Unforgettable Combat: Arm yourself with outrageous firepower, from dual magnums to plasma railguns, and watch as every showdown turns into a blood-splattered feast.
High-Octane Movement: Master the kinetic playstyle by chaining wall-runs, pulling off double jumps, and executing mid-air chainsaw slides, in a system that rewards creativity in destruction.
Legendary Levels: Battle across neon underworlds, deserted arenas, towering business complexes, and even out into space across three distinct episodes.
Xbox Enhancements: Enjoy ultra-smooth 60 FPS and upgraded visuals on the Xbox Series X|S, offering an immersive experience like none other.
