Where do I even begin? Overwhelmingly Good. There is just so much to unpack I don't even know what to praise first. 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 Eternal and many other FPS games these days employ and I was right.

However, the story isn't "just there" IT IS A MAIN PART OF THE GAME's APPEAL. I won't spoil anything will just say we are employed by an exec from a shady corporation called Teratek to take care of a rogue AI threat (crazy how we seem to be close to a catastrophe like that irl too). The entire campaign focuses on our protagonist Johnny Turbo fighting his way through multiple locations alongside his AI assistant S.A.M.M (best boi btw), together they embark on a journey to annihilate this rogue AI called SYN and while you're going through levels be sure to look for secrets to get early access to upgrades and also lore fragments which share Johnny Turbo's backstory , that's all I'll say because anything else will be a spoiler and I don't want to ruin it for you.


Now the gameplay, You'll get a variety of different weapons each with alt-fire modes (through upgrades) plus some melee options such as chainsaw leg and hands (yes seriously) and other abilities like micro missile launcher, turbo time and grappling hook (wicked sick I tell you) then you have the ability to buy more upgrades for your character too. Using the combination of these techniques you'll be clearing levels full of hordes of enemies (sometimes between 600-800). I used all of these weapons and their alt fire modes and let me just say they're perfection personified.

Lastly the soundtracks, Just like everything else they're 10/10. I've been addicted to this gem for 2 weeks now and barely played anything else its just that good.

Before I sign off I must add that if indie devs can keep pumping out gems like these, "AAA" and "AAAA" devs should prepare to go out of business because even with limited budget these games are far superior to whatever slop Ubicrap and Microslop can ♥♥♥♥ out.

10/10

kinda Overkill but it's gassy

Amazing boomer shooter, there really isn't much I can't critique about this game. Maybe that there's a lot of weapons, but you don't have to use all of them, I personally played through pretty much the entire game without the sniper or plasma rifle so even though there are quite a ridiculous amount of guns, it never really becomes a flaw since you never have to quickly switch between all of them.
This game has some of the most interesting weapons I've ever seen, you have a mini-gun that doubles as a flamethrower, a pistol that can charge up multiple aimbot shots and overheat into a one-shot machine, you can play the game with 4 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chainsaws, one for each foot and one for each arm.
There are very few moments that break immersion, almost all cutscenes take place in-game and never bring you to a pre-rendered .mp4, and even the ones that do, you can skip them. I'm not blown away by the story but I still really liked it, and like I said earlier it is very much not in your face, you can ignore it or skip it if you want.
There are a TON of funny secrets and easter eggs, and when I 100%'d this game I had a lot of fun!
If you're afraid to buy it because it's a campaign based game and you wonder if you're going to get replayability, the endless mode is really fun, it has a little bit of a roguelike element to it but either way it's a lot of fun to replay the endless mode.
