Turbo Overkill is a first-person shooter and the debut project of Trigger Happy Interactive. It stars a cyborg living in a cyberpunk-inspired dystopia, tasked with destroying the artificial intelligent controlling his hometown.
The game is set in a dystopian, cyberpunk future. Its protagonist is Johnny Turbo, a cyborg mercenary returning to his hometown of Paradise. Once there, he finds the city taken over by an AI called Syn, which possessed the citizens and implemented a reign of terror using its cybernetic army. In desperate need of money, Johnny accepts the seemingly suicidal job to destroy the AI, facing off against its minions and rival bounty hunters.
Turbo Overkill is a first-person shooter inspired by such series as Doom and Quake. The player must fight their way through hordes of enemies using various weapons and special abilities. The game heavily emphasizes mobility. Johnny can use a grappling hook to draw himself closer to surfaces, run at extreme speeds, wall jump and slide into enemies, slicing them open with his chainsaw leg. Killing enemies grants money, used to upgrade the character and his weapons.
The firearm roster is vast and diverse, including dual revolvers with homing bullets, a shotgun with a grenade launcher attachment, a sniper rifle that teleports Johnny to where the bullet hit, ripping the enemy to shreds from the inside, and many others. There are also special weapons players can install in Johnny's body, such as an arm-built rocket launcher. Upgrades can be purchased or taken from defeated bosses.
Turbo Overkill features a singleplayer campaign with over twenty levels, many secrets and optional challenges.
The game's visuals and audio are both very impressive. The smooth gameplay, lighting and artstyle portraying a futuristic dystopia are all very appealing.

Game Ratings for Turbo Overkill Video Game.
Eurogamer: 5 / 5 by Rick Lane
Absurd, unrelenting and endlessly creative, Turbo Overkill is a masterfully composed symphony of violence.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by PJ O'Reilly
Turbo Overkill is one of our favourite boomer shooters, modern or otherwise. Johnny Turbo's chainsaw-sliding, wall-running and grappling combine with slo-mo silliness to provide a whole lot of punchy murderizing that's a joy to get down and dirty with. Paradise is a glorious playground, a combat puzzle box packed full of amazingly explodey mutants, and the whole thing looks and sounds fantastic in both docked and handheld. If it wasn't for that 30fps cap and a current lack of gyro support, we'd call this the best boomer shooter on Switch so fast you'd think we'd just activated our very own version of Turbo Time.
Final Weapon: 2.5 / 5 by Saras Rajpal
Turbo Overkill, despite its great visuals and gameplay loop, is constantly stuck in the shadow of the media that inspired it. The story is unremarkable, the references to other entries in the genre become distracting after a bit, and there are several issues with the sound, pacing, and visuals, alongside frequent crashes. As a result, you may find yourself asking why you aren't playing another boomer shooter instead, despite the game's few exciting moments.
