Turbo Overkill

Destructoid: 7.5 / 10 by Zoey Handley

Turbo Overkill loses itself in its constant push for escalation. It’s often not as clever as it thinks it is, and there’s a real sense of quantity over quality. Packing in more mechanics is certainly a type of progress, but a better focus on fewer concepts probably would have elevated the game as a whole. As it is, it’s still a perfectly fun time, and I’d be completely willing to revisit it in a sequel, but it just doesn’t quite climb to the lofty top of the retro-inspired scrap heap.

Eurogamer: 5 / 5 by Rick Lane

Absurd, unrelenting and endlessly creative, Turbo Overkill is a masterfully composed symphony of violence.

Completexbox: 65 / 100 by Dan Boise

Turbo Overkill starts off great. The fast paced movement, shooting, exploration works well as a whole, but the deeper you get in the game, the more platforming rear its ugly head and ruins the complete experience. I had flashbacks of DOOM Eternal’s overabundance of platforming, except worst because if you don’t position yourself perfectly on the walls to wall run, you’re screwed. Missing the wall jump augment? Well expect to be screwed later in the game. It starts off well, but the platforming killed it for me. Great shooter where its paced is ruined by monotonous platforming. Unless you’re a die hard FPS fan or looking to experience a new “old school” type experience, I cannot recommend Turbo Overkill.
