    Honestly one of the best first person shooters I've ever played period. 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.

    Excellent 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.

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!… Expand

    God this is the fastest game I've ever played and it's also a shooter which is a big plus for me. There are excellent levels where you can fly in a car, ride a motorcycle and run on furs. But there are also obviously unfortunate disadvantages that lead to a lengthy narrative, which is the main disadvantage of the game, this is protractedness.

    Enter Paradise as Johnny Turbo—half-metal, half-human, all-murder machine. Clean up the streets with a chainsaw leg, 15+ weapons and your hovercar as you battle the rogue AI Syn, rival bounty hunters and cyberpunks aplenty. Apogee’s most outrageous FPS since Duke Nukem 3D. Good hunting, Sir!

    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]

    Turbo Overkill is an action game that throws in pop-culture references at every step and draws heavily on the genre’s achievements but combines everything it borrows in a surprisingly creative way. And unlike many retro shooters that end after four hours, you can actually get your fill of this one.
