Former PC exclusive shooter rips onto console.

"Turbo Overkill is the most savage FPS ever released by Apogee. You play as Johnny Turbo, augmented with hidden arm rockets and a chainsaw that extends from your lower leg allowing you to slide-slice enemies wide open."

Brand new GPS for my car. Drive into the future.

fun game

GPS probably means something shooter related to someone somewhere!

 

[Ar¢tos]

I would prefer a new Crystal Caves or Secret Agent...

Just finished the 5th level tonight and it's amazing.

Dashing around the arenas in a lightspeed dance of death, juggling tons of enemies at once and wiping out all opposition in a whirlwind of fire and guts, its some of the most fun I've had with a game in ages.

After clearing one particular room I had to pause to literally catch my breath, it was so intense my heart was racing.

Bloody brilliant game.

 

[Guilty_AI]

i'd easily put this as one of the best shooters i've played

 

[The artful mincer]

Wasn't this made by one dude?! As massive doom eternal fan I will have to give it a try

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Just finished the demo

 

[Skifi28]

Even without any waifus? Damn, now I have to check it out.

 

[rofif]

All of these are essentially the same soulless noise to me.
Just so generic shlocky looking.... nothing like real 90s shooters

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Running this tomorrow, let's go boomer shooter renaissance.

What you're talking about, game does have a waifu:

Yeah, why aren't they more like Forspoken? THAT is a clearly 100% original non-generic game with no issues whatsoever.

Forspoken is anything but yet another generic copy of 90s nostalgia... not that you would have any idea

Neither are these shooters, but i guess you wouldn't know either

This is one of the very few games the Pro type controllers are very helpful. I already played this on PC but I'm always willing to play through a game again for trophies and junk too. It translates well on PS5 too.

 

[phant0m]

Somehow missed this entirely. Demo was fun. Grabbed in on PC for $11 because I already own Prodeus.

PS, if you don’t have Prodeus, buy the combo pack.

 

[Hypereides]

EDIT: nevermind. Oversight.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

This game is a fucking triumph and completely worth playing. Definitely one of the best things to come out of the whole boomer shooter resurgence, however oversaturated that subgenre might be at this point.

 

[T-0800]

Lack of haptics etc on PS5 is disappointing. Hopefully it is added later and then I might consider buying it.

 

[Jack Package]

This game is amazing. AMAZING.

 

[Redneckerz]

This deserves a physical console release.

I would buy that in a heart beat.

 

[12Goblins]

iirc when I tried this on PC it felt more like a phone game than a PC FPS. Rip PC gaming

 

[HogIsland]

good for console owners to get access to this

 

[kingwingin]

This came out of nowhere, downloading now!

What phone game you played is like this? Tell me cause i definitely want to play that too

 

[DryvBy]

Just FYI for PS fans:

Turbo Overkill

Half-metal, half-human. All murder machine

store.playstation.com

Play this.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

This is by FAR my favorite game person shooter and I haven't even bought it yet, literally shaking rn

 

[LordBritish]

Apogee? old school apogee?

 

[kikkis]

Played a little bit, but it kind of felt to fast and like you were doing your own thing regardless what the enemies did.

 

[Skifi28]

I gave the demo a try and the art style was great, but seems like console might not be the ideal place for it. Aim assist in fast paced games is one thing, but the game has full auto aim that snaps on targets and you can't even shoot barrels next to them because it just refuses to let you manually adjust. Perhaps there is an option to turn it down, but I did not manage to find it at a quick glance. Seems like this one needs a mouse for now.

 

[kingwingin]

I’ll wait for an eventual patch to dive in fully, aim speed feels weird when going diagonally, like it’s half speed. If you try and draw a circle with your reticle it ends up being a square.

The aim assist is also pure trash, like the Previous post mentioned you cant even shoot barrels near enemies.

Aim assist can be turned off under settings > controls > controller > aim assist
