A lot of work was put into this game, which makes it that much harder to not be able to reccommend it. First off, holy padding. More enemies do not mean more enjoyment. neither do timers, or gun restrictions. each level taking an hour or more to finish is wild.

Turbo Overkill floored me from the second it started. There is no warm up period. No easing you in. The game grabs you by the collar and never lets go. From the opening moments it is completely balls to the wall and somehow manages to keep that momentum for its entire runtime without ever burning itself out. The pacing is unreal. It is aggressive, confident, and relentlessly fun in a way that only the best shooters …

turbo overkill is...fine. everything you'd expect from a fast-paced boomer shooter. nice aesthetic, guns feel good to shoot, movement is perfect, over-the-top violent chaos... but theres not anything exceptional either. the story and setting are not really anything to write home about, the enemies are supposed to be a diverse lineup of threats but in practice you just fly around and shoot them until they die, and …

One of the best FPS games I've ever played. Felt like playing Doom Eternal again. If you don't like modern doom, you're not gonna like this one.

83% of the 246 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Turbo Overkill. The complaint that keeps coming up: campaign feels too long and padded. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, console people, you need to get this. Turbo Overkill is fantastic. Wildly over-the-top, some great setpieces that would probably fit perfectly in a AAA blockbuster game. And it's pretty lengthy to boot. Every single level has a hidden level And music and voicework aside, it's all by one guy.
positive · AI labelView post →Mini review: Turbo Overkill is an amazing accomplishment in fps game design. Smooth movement and satisfying gunplay with a big focus on interesting weapons, many games wish they were half this fun. The pacing suffers from a drawn out campaign but I'm glad I experienced all it had to offer
neutral · AI labelView post →The NG+ update is out for Total Chaos today! One of the best features of the original GZDoom version - a remixed/continued story with an everpresent stalker enemy. If you missed it when it launched a few months ago, it's an excellent survival horror game from the tiny team behind Turbo Overkill.
neutral · AI labelView post →3. Turbo Overkill This is a lot more modern in its sensibilities, and movement is the game in Turbo Overkill because you'll be sliding and wall running all over the shop dashing into enemies with your chainsaw leg. It's one impossibly slick feeling cybergore shooter, also has Jon St.John!

It's a short and polished journey, almost without overcomplications and trash mechanics populating/polluting it's sequel.

This feels like a passion project of an indie dev who put his heart and soul into developing this gem. Usually "Boomer Shooters" which I like to call Arcade FPS games , usually they don't have an emphasis on story and that's what I thought about Turbo Overkill too. I went it believing this will just be the same fast paced gameplay formula that others like Ultrakill, Doom…

neutral · AI labelView post →Sound mixing is broken. Dev doesn't seem interested in fixing. Suspect they patched the game with some odd loudness EQ settings and then introduced a channel mixer to negate all the complaints from people. Result is a completely broken sound environment; music and weapons are too loud, chainsaw, ambience, enemies, projectiles and movements are almost non-existent. I have tried every setting through monitor, headphones, sound card, registry deletes and tweaks and nothing works.

The levels are great and have tons of depth, the movement and combat is fantastic, the scenery is gorgeous, and the game has this 80s sci-fi film feel to it.
positive · AI labelView post →Turbo Overkill starts off strong and really strong at that but once you reach Chapter Three it’s just far too long and the difficulty increases exponentially, especially compared to the previous levels. I made it all the way to the last level, which I personally believe has some of the worst level designs I’ve ever seen. It’s almost solely platforms and bridges which you can easily fall off, meanwhile you’re having to fighting wave after wave of enemies, huge amounts of enemies, enemies that…

Every augmentation, weapon, level, song, & vehicle in this game is absolutely badass. I enjoyed every second in this retro cyberpunk world & would play it again!
positive · AI labelView post →Continuing gaming's long tradition of dumb names for game genres, boomer shooters are first person shooters that don't use auto-regen health (COD, Halo), in offline they give health frequently from killing enemies (rather exclusively health packs), and they're designed to be fast paced, usually with a wide FOV, an absurdly high "walk" speed with no run button, and somewhat disorienting or labyrinth-like map style. They're often offline, but can be multiplayer player-vs-player. Even if the…

GManlives calls it 'as close to shooter perfection as you can get'. So lets find out if that's accurate :D TURBO OVERKILL STREAM GOING LIVE NOW
positive · AI labelView post →This game isn’t anywhere close to classic shooters (Gen X/Gen Y/Millennials)—what some people call “boomer shooters.” It’s more of a “zoomer shooter.” In other words, this is what people who have never played the original FPS games think boomer shooters are. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend it. It has solid production quality and in other circumstances I might have recommended it, but the level design and gameplay are subpar, with platforming sections, verticality and the annoying puzzles…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like Eternal and GTTOD had a baby with a 90's cyberpunk novel. I cannot put into words how fun and replayable this game is. It scales well in difficulty from top to bottom and runs buttery smooth. It has just about every feature you've ever loved in a shooter from Wolf 3D to Doom Eternal, taking inspiration from and giving nods to the best single player and arena shooters. 7/5 stars.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To keep it short, if you like games such as DOOM but even more fast paced and with a bit of parkour (running on walls, wall jumping, etc...), you'll love this. The sliding chainsaw is an interesting choice. Game isn't too hard either, first time playing on "Serve Me Pain" (fourth difficulty out of the five) and it is doable. I recommend this game along Severed Steel which is also an hidden gem. EOS (Epic Online Services malwarre) is a no though, on a single-player only game just to get more…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh my, where to even start? In the first chapter I kinda liked the game but from there it just kept dropping and by the final battle in episode 3 I just had enough of this game. It drags on WAY too long and keeps recycling the same go into location X to have the next arena battle start cycle. It just gets old very fast and doesnt manage to keep it interesting since the locations mostly also feel hollow. I guess the story is kinda ok. But often it felt like they tried the "Borderlands" humor…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a bizarre mix, this game. I want to say something like "the developer learned how good games do good things, but not why" - but... that feels a little unfair. Sure, there are some strange f*ckups, for example: You're prompted to collect everything in a level, and sometimes the level design expects you to do things like walk where nobody would otherwise do, but sometimes turns out that part isn't even really modelled. Or you'll fall through the floor? And the writing, hoo boy. Look, I'm…

So i checked out the demo, liked what i played, and eventually got the full game. And then it sat in my backlog for a few years, before i finally decided to boot it up again and play through it. Now, it does have some similarities to Ultrakill, like being a boomer shooter, fast and precise movement, sliding, satisfying gunplay, a large weapon…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, I just finished this, and it's so close to being a masterpiece for me, easy top 3. Which is not a word I throw around. It takes all the best elements of modern shooters, throws them into a blender with a lot of classic shooter DNA (though this is NOT a boomer shooter to be clear), and you get a delicious gore smoothie out of it. Gunplay is phenomenal. The available arsenal has good variety and every weapon feels good, but without having Doom Eternal's issue of having a specific weapon to…

I had an absolute blast with it, delivering one non-stop adrenaline rush after another right from the start. Visually, the game is an absolute dream for neon-nostalgia junkies. The gritty pixel art perfectly captures that classic, dystopian cyberpunk vibe. A city dripped in rain, drenched in blood, and lit only by flickering neon signs. It feels like stepping into a…

The levels seemed very promising at first, but it´s the same stuff over and over again (big rooms with some minor platforming). It just drags on way too much. Try Dusk if you are looking for this kind of game.

Luckily you can dash, slide, grapple, double / triple jump and even more to kill hordes of enemies on your way to stop an evil AI from taking over the world. It's extremely satisfying to weave your way through enemies and pick them off one by one, or all at once. The story is obviously mostly pretty standard (though still…
