Attention Xbox aficionados—brace yourself because Turbo Overkill, the much-lauded cyberpunk first-person shooter, is thrusting its way onto Xbox today with its iconic chainsaw leg.
Hailing from the indie minds of Trigger Happy Interactive, and backed by the legendary Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill pays homage to the retro vibes of classics like Doom and Quake. It marries their fast-paced chaos with a slick modern twist. Dive headlong into the glowing dystopia of Paradise as Johnny Turbo, a cyber-enhanced renegade. With an arsenal that’s as imaginative as it is deadly—I’m talking futuristic firearms and that infamous chainsaw leg—Johnny is on a mission for brutal retribution.
What Awaits You in Paradise
Paradise isn’t the futuristic haven it promised to be. It’s a sprawling metropolis plagued by corporate greed and rebellious AI nightmares. As you maneuver through this urban warzone, wielding control as Johnny Turbo, prepare for three sprawling episodes packed with complex environments, memorable personalities, and relentless action—all running at a seamless 60 frames per second.
Turbo Overkill’s Highlights
Intense Combat: Arm yourself with jaw-droppingly powerful weapons—from dual magnums to plasma railguns—and turn every fight into a bloody spectacle.
Dynamic Gameplay: Master the art of wall-running, double jumping, and performing mid-air chainsaw slides for combat that’s as fluid as it is ferocious.
Epic Levels: Traverse shimmering slums, deserted arenas, corporate giants, and even outer space across Turbo Overkill’s three heart-pounding episodes.
Xbox Enhancements: Experience smooth 60 FPS and visually-enhanced graphics on Xbox Series X|S for an immersion level that’s nothing short of enthralling.
Voice Talent: Bringing Paradise to Life
Turbo Overkill features an outstanding voice lineup that breathes life into its gritty characters:
- Patricia Summersett (of Zelda fame) voices Ripper, a mysterious and lethal bounty hunter.
- Jon St. John (remember Duke Nukem?) gives Johnny’s AI buddy, SAMM, a cheeky personality.
- Gianni Matragrano takes on Maw, the sly and merciless.
- DB Cooper (known from BioShock 2) plays The Exec, a shadowy TeraTek exec with her own motives.
- Tay Zonday steps in as Dr. Nyx, Johnny’s cybernetic doc.
Their performances enrich Turbo Overkill’s high-octane storyline, making every moment as gripping as the unyielding combat.
