    A nice reference to classic first-person shooters. What adds to the similarity, besides the brisk bloody gameplay, is the game's visuals, which are a nice combination of 3D models and pixel graphics. The gameplay experience is complemented by the metallic music, which underlines the brutality of the game perfectly. [Issue#319]

    Everything is frantic, fast-paced, and depicted with excessive amounts of graphical and auditory flair. If you enjoyed the fast and frantic pace of Doom Eternal, this game will scratch the very same FPS itch. [Early Access Review Score = 85]

    Turbo Overkill is action and style cranked up several notches higher than it has any right to be, with levels that really let your chainsaw leg sing with a brrr. But with its relentless pacing comes a frustration in how long it takes for Johnny to truly get going, while its constant barrage of baddies coalesce into a samey red noise that makes you desperate for a bit of creative downtime. Still, if you'd like to coat vents and ceilings with copious entrails over the course of, say, 15 hours, then Turbo Overkill could absolutely be for you. Just play it in bursts, otherwise you might burn out quickly.

    Apogee’s latest feels like a celebrative orgy of game violence. You’ll slide chainsaw-leg first through clusters of enemies, plunge down and destroy foes like a homicidal Spider-Man, or just reduce them to a pulp with a robust arsenal of firearms. It’s in Early Access, so there is still some uncertainty about the kinds of creative carnage the third act will bring. But there’s already more than enough hyperkinetic, over-the-top action to warrant a go as Johnny Turbo. [Early Access Score = 84]

It's so outrageous and over the top almost all of the time, superb soundtrack, sublime gunplay, great level design and somehow it just gets better and better the more you play.

    For the price you cannot go wrong, truly excellent.    … Full Review »

    Excellent and very underrated boomer + story-shooter. Similar mechanics to Doom Eternal or Ultrakill with it's own unique art- and visualExcellent and very underrated boomer + story-shooter. Similar mechanics to Doom Eternal or Ultrakill with it's own unique art- and visual style set in a depressing Cyberpunk/Blade Runner world named Paradise. As a street cleaner, your job's well... cleaning the city of the so called Syn virus. The story is good enough and becomes really interesting over time. The game is divided in 3 chapters, all underlined with its varied gameplay passages and levels in each of them. Clean movement and shooter mechanics with cleverly designed guns, all fitting for different situations are building up to a solid gameplay foundation. Paired with a chainsaw leg you will find yourself dominating a large horde of enemies while listening to the banging soundtrack surrounding it. Upgrades for components of your body can be bought and applied along the purchase of a secondary gun mode for each one. Thanks to the well thought out level design, the game always keeps feeling fresh with new ideas, armory and gameplay passages. All in all, a great game with the only flaw being the music banging 24/7 instead of only in fights, making it feel more like background music. Give this game a go, if you like other fast paced shooters, or shooters in general! Great game!… Full Review »
