Hey there, Xbox enthusiasts! If futuristic shootouts are your thing, then brace yourself because Turbo Overkill is revving up to explode into your gaming world today. Get ready for the debut of this critically acclaimed cyberpunk FPS on Xbox.
Hailing from the creative minds at indie developer Trigger Happy Interactive and the iconic Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill is a delightful nod to those classic shooters like Doom and Quake. Picture all the breakneck action and style of a retro shooter fused with modern speed. It’s a heart-pounding plunge into the neon-lit chaos of Paradise. You’ll step into the boots of Johnny Turbo, a cyber-enhanced anti-hero armed with wild weaponry, a chainsaw leg, and a thirst for revenge.
Journey Through Paradise
Sure, it’s called Paradise, but don’t be fooled by the name. This sprawling cityscape of the future is caught in the grip of corporate greed and rogue AIs, turning it into a battle zone. As Johnny Turbo, you’ll navigate your way through three expansive episodes filled with intricately designed levels, vivid characters, and endless action—all delivered at a smooth 60 FPS.
