It’s available in Steam Early Access right now and will be launching in full on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC later in 2022.Turbo Overkill seems like a loving homage to the retro-FPS games of the past, however it’s actually a game that carries a notable history. Huge thanks go out to Apogee Entertainment for providing us access to Turbo Overkill on Steam. From low poly textures with modern lighting to solid shooting mechanics and modern flourishes and controls, it really does have major promise and is definitely one to look out for. On the whole though, Turbo Overkill is the rejuvenation of the original 3D first person shooter. I am certain the developers are aware of such small niggles and will get everything smoothed out come launch. Once or twice enemy fire froze too – like the time Kylo Ren froze a blaster bolt in mid-air during The Force Awakens.Īgain these bugs presented nothing game-breaking as such and are sure to be ironed out in the run up to full release.
On several occasions Johnny’s guns would just disappear off screen something which could well be seen as a slight problem on a first person shooter filled with lethal enemies. There have been a few graphical hitches during our time in Paradise, but thankfully, nothing game breaking. There have definitely been many full release games that have come bundled with a lot more boggles and bumps even after the now standard day one patch. Luckily the platforming and jumps, whilst appearing to require pixel perfect leaps, are actually quite forgiving to the player.Įven in early preview Turbo Overkill should make other early release titles embarrassed. The heights can quite literally be your downfall as one false move and you will be begging that perilous climb up the towering landscape once more. Double jumping, air dashing and wall running are all part of the mechanics and they really are needed when scaling the heights of the city.
Filled with platforming sections and launchpads, as you find the correct rhythm, Johnny will fly through the city like a gymnastic parkour artist in no time.īig vertical geometry is at play here so you will be glad to hear you unlock new abilities as you progress to enhance traversal.
Talking of the side streets and alleyways, Paradise is an absolutely giant playground. Gun upgrades, ammo and health packs can also be found or purchased similarly at these machines also. In fact your (Johnny’s) entire body can be modified as you progress with modifications that can be found in-game or purchased at one of the many vending machines scattered throughout the neon lit streets and alleyways. This is not to say the shooting is lacking by any means and any player of modern shooters will feel quite at home a feat that classic re-releases of the likes of Duke Nukem and co cannot claim to do so easily as their mechanics, whilst cutting edge in the day, have aged more like cheese than wine. Gliding into a slide through a white literal horse of abominations is quite satisfying when pulled off correctly. Duke Nukem only wishes he could claim such bad assery. You must keep momentum going to baseball slide through enemies like butter with your chainsaw leg. One mode of attack is not so standard however. Each thump of the soundtrack and squelch of the recently deceased horde you have just blasted to a million pieces feels exactly on point.

Music and sound effects throughout are presented with no issues or hiccups whatsoever in the Steam preview code we played. Shotguns, pistols and launchers all appear here with various secondary fire abilities alongside your standard mode of attack. You have various weapons at your disposal that feel like a who’s who of classic armaments. Movement is quick, fluid and twitchy, very reminiscent of Quake.
