'Turbo Overkill' Comes To Steam Early Access In April - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on March 22, 2022 @ 6:24 p.m. PDT

Turbo Overkill is an ultraviolent cyberpunk FPS where you hunt down a rogue AI in Paradise, a dystopian Blade Runner-meets-DOOM hellscape.

Rev up the savage chainsaw leg and start chopping as Johnny Turbo, a mercenary returning to clean-up his crime-ridden hometown of Paradise. In this Blade Runner-meets-DOOM hellscape, Johnny finds the city’s entire population possessed by Syn, a rogue AI, and its army of augmented minions. Desperate for enough money to outrun his past mistakes, Johnny takes on the impossible job of destroying the greatest AI ever created. Rival bounty hunters want to claim the prize first… nothing is easy in paradise.

Turbo Overkill takes over-the-top to never-before-reached heights. Activate Hero Time(™), a new form of slow motion with a twist. Build incredible speed by wall-running and dashing. Slide on your chainsaw leg, eviscerating foes and opening up bosses for critical damage, and go car-surfing—yes, riding on the hoods of flying cars. Blast away with the Twin Magnums, which lock-on and instagib several foes, the Boomer Shotgun and its attached grenade launcher, or the Telefragger sniper rifle, which teleports Johnny inside an enemy before they explode from within. The FPS genre is about to get really wild and really fun again.

Race through two dozen stages packed with secrets, bonus arena stages, and white-knuckle combat puzzles. Find game-changing collectibles to unlock punishing modifiers like triple-monster-speed and insta-kill. Combine all of Johnny’s weapons and powers to outsmart, outgun, and outrun the corrupted legions.


Turbo Overkill slides into Steam Early Access for PC on April 22, 2022 ($19.95) with the first of three planned episodes.

Turbo Overkill’s first episode invites FPS fans to experience the first eight stages of the game, plus a host of secret arenas, difficulty modifiers, and other unlockables for 5-8 hours of gameplay. A bevy of updates over the coming months will add new stages, abilities, quality-of-life features, and hardcore challenges.

“Since I fell in love with the genre as a player, I’ve always wanted to contribute something to the FPS canon as a developer,” said Sam Prebble, one half of developer Trigger Happy Interactive. “Turbo uses my favorite parts of modern games like Titanfall and Apex Legends as a lens to examine the classics we grew up on. Do those level designs and challenges still work in a world where the player is more powerful than ever?”

“This is easily the most excited I’ve been about a shooter since the glory years of Apogee, when we were creating global hits like Wolfenstein 3DMax PayneDuke Nukem and Prey,” added Scott Miller, founder of Apogee and 3D Realms.

Turbo Overkill is coming to Nintendo Switch, P45, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) in 2022.
