Turbo Overkill Launches on Xbox Series X|S Today with Chainsaw Action

Hey Xbox fans, it’s time to dive into the wild world of Turbo Overkill, the cyberpunk first-person shooter that’s earning rave reviews across the board. Buckle up because this game is now available on Xbox!

Crafted by the indie gurus at Trigger Happy Interactive and brought to gamers by the legendary Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill is a thrilling homage to classic shooters like Doom and Quake. It injects all the exhilarating action of those retro bastions with a modern twist of speed and flair. Set in the neon-endless landscape of Paradise, you step into the shoes of Johnny Turbo, a cybernetically souped-up anti-hero out for revenge. Armed with inventive weaponry, including a chainsaw leg, Johnny is on a mission to cut down his relentless foes.

What to Expect in Paradise

Paradise is anything but serene. This futuristic behemoth of a city is plagued by corrupt corporations and rampaging AI horrors. Playing as Johnny Turbo, you’re put through your paces across three vast episodes teeming with elaborate levels, memorable characters, and relentless action—all firing smoothly at 60 frames per second.

Turbo Overkill’s Standout Features:

• Iconic Combat: Arm yourself with extraordinary firepower—from dual magnums to plasma railguns—and transform every fight into a thrilling spectacle of gore.

• Dynamic Gameplay: Master the art of chaining wall-runs, executing double jumps, and sliding mid-air with your chainsaw leg for a seamless, high-speed combat experience.

• Epic Backdrops: Immerse in battles through electric neon slums, forgotten arenas, towering skyscrapers, and even venture into the vastness of space across the game’s three episodes.

• Xbox Enhancements: Revel in the ultra-smooth 60 frames per second and upgraded visuals on the Xbox Series X|S for a truly engaging experience.

Voice Talent: Bringing Paradise to Life

A stellar voice cast breathes personality into Turbo Overkill’s gritty universe:

• Patricia Summersett (from Zelda fame) voices Ripper, the enigmatic bounty hunter.
• Jon St. John (the voice of Duke Nukem) lends his skills to Johnny’s AI sidekick, SAMM.
• Gianni Matragrano (known for Ultrakill) portrays the ruthless Maw.
• DB Cooper (of BioShock renown) embodies the mysterious executive, The Exec.
• Tay Zonday (yes, the Chocolate Rain guy) voices Dr. Nyx, Johnny’s bio-cybernetics doctor.
