Weapon selection is large including pistols, shotguns, precision rifles, rockets, flamethrowers, etc. It takes some queues from the best traditional old-school shooters while adding flair from more modern games – this means that the quick respawning and responsive controls will always have you on your toes! Gunplay is also majestic and satisfying with every weapon having a distinct feel and each being useful for certain encounters. The gameplay is frantic as you would expect from a game having “Turbo” in its name. While playing this, we came across a bug where a secret we picked up somehow removed from our sum after a death having to restart the level to pick it up again – a small nuisance for that particular one as it was early in the game but imagine having to replay one of the tougher levels due to this! Chests give you free upgrades which are welcome as most of the upgrades, in general, are expensive. Another item that is useful to be opened (if you can find their keys) are Chests. ![]() Tech-Chips are collectible as well, and gathering all of them at a level grants you access to new modifiers if you wish to playthrough again in the future. Those secret levels include various horde modes (survive X number of waves) and they’re accessible from your save slot in the main menu. At the end of the level, you will get the usual “level finished” stats screen where you can see if you missed any secrets and how much time it took to complete the level – with the option to move on to the next sector or restarting for 100% completeness and faster time.Īdditional secret levels are unlocked when you collect Cassette Tapes. The level design is brilliant (as is expected from a developer that started by making Doom II maps in the past). ![]() The game’s first few levels explain some keybindings used, some unique mechanics, as well as making sure you look out for any secret while killing (preferably) all the enemies on the level. Dropping from your hover car in a spectacular fashion landing on an enemy using your chainsaw leg to decimate him starts your mission on the right foot (pun intended!). Your mission? Purge the virus – at any cost. Paradise is already in flames when you arrive while your trusted computer (S.A.M.M) informs you that the Syn virus is at large infecting most of its population. You’re Johnny Turbo, returning to your hometown of “Paradise”. Genre: Action, Indie, Early Access, First Person Shooter ![]() And this is expected as the publisher Apogee Entertainment is directly involved with many of those FPS you loved in the past including Duke Nukem and Rise of the Triad known as 3D Realms. This is the long awaited review of Turbo Overkill, an ultra-fast old-school-inspired FPS with pixelated graphics, a metal soundtrack, and a chainsaw for a leg used as a weapon currently in Early Access! Set in a cyberpunk future the Duke Nukem and Doom influences are obvious.
