Turbo Overkill Shadow Drops on Nintendo Switch: Apogee Entertainment Expands Boomer Shooter Reach

Turbo Overkill, the critically acclaimed 'boomer shooter' developed and published by Apogee Entertainment, has officially launched on the Nintendo Switch.

Alongside concurrent digital releases on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X|S, the fast-paced first-person shooter is now available for download immediately via the Nintendo eShop, priced at $19.99.

This surprise launch means Nintendo Switch owners can experience one of the PC’s standout indie shooters on console with no delay. Originally debuting on PC, Turbo Overkill quickly captured the attention of the shooter community for its breakneck action and distinctive retro-futuristic visuals.

Drawing inspiration from modern classics like DOOM and stylish shooters such as Prodeus, Turbo Overkill stands out not only for its kinetic gameplay but also for its creative weaponry and augment-based progression system. Apogee Entertainment has stated that Turbo Overkill’s gameplay delivers relentless momentum, blending genre hallmarks with inventive features.

Key mechanics include defeating powerful bosses to acquire unique augments, utilizing a versatile grappling hook for Spider-Man-like mobility, and a signature chainsaw slide attack that channels the over-the-top style of classic shooters.

Players are also incentivized to string together kills for cash, which can then be invested in weapon upgrades and new character abilities via an expanding talent tree. Additional features, as highlighted by Apogee, include fast-paced wall running that evokes the intensity of games like Ghostrunner, the ability to unleash mini-rockets from a cybernetic arm, and adrenaline-fueled sequences where players can attack foes while riding atop a flying car.

These diverse mechanics ensure a consistently engaging experience for fans of both classic and modern shooters. With its arrival on the Nintendo Switch, Turbo Overkill continues Apogee Entertainment’s legacy of delivering polished, innovative shooters to a broad console audience.

Switch users can enjoy the game’s full suite of features, with performance optimized for Nintendo’s hybrid hardware. Turbo Overkill is available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop, as well as PlayStation and Xbox digital storefronts.

The launch brings one of the indie shooter genre’s most celebrated titles to an even wider community of players.
