Turbo Overkill Brings Brutal Cyberpunk FPS Action to Nintendo Switch in 2022

Turbo Overkill Brings Brutal Cyberpunk FPS Action to Nintendo Switch in 2022 Retro-inspired first-person shooters have seen a significant resurgence in recent years, and Turbo Overkill is set to continue this trend on the Nintendo Switch and other major platforms in 2022.

Developed by Trigger Happy Interactive, Turbo Overkill is helmed by the creative mind behind the award-winning DOOM II mod Total Chaos and brings a fresh, ultraviolent vision of the cyberpunk genre to modern hardware. Turbo Overkill stands out as a visceral homage to classic 3D shooters like Duke Nukem, DOOM, and Quake.

The fast-paced action is complemented by a grim, neon-lit setting that recalls beloved cyberpunk aesthetics.

Notably, 3D Realms co-founder Scott Miller, renowned for his pivotal roles in creating Wolfenstein 3D, Duke Nukem 3D, Rise of the Triad, Max Payne, and Prey, joins the project in a creative advisory capacity.

Reflecting on his involvement, Miller conveyed that, as someone who shaped the early first-person shooter landscape, he hasn't felt this much anticipation for an FPS since the storied days of Apogee and 3D Realms. Players will embody Johnny Turbo, a hardened mercenary determined to rid his hometown, "Paradise," of corruption.

The narrative thrust places Johnny against a city overrun by Syn, a rogue artificial intelligence intent on using its army of cybernetic minions to control the population.

Facing formidable adversaries and rival bounty hunters, Johnny’s mission to annihilate Syn is as much about redemption as it is about survival. Turbo Overkill doesn’t just pay tribute to its inspirations, it innovates on them.

Unique mechanics like “Hero Time,” a novel take on slow-motion combat, enhance gameplay, while the protagonist’s chainsaw leg adds both style and functionality in high-octane encounters.

Across two dozen intricately designed stages, players can expect a wealth of secrets, bonus arenas, puzzles, and relentless action—each meticulously crafted for replayability and challenge. Turbo Overkill’s impending release is a testament to both Trigger Happy Interactive's dedication to classic FPS design and the staying power of the genre on platforms like Nintendo Switch.

As anticipation builds, both industry veterans and series newcomers can look forward to experiencing one of the most exhilarating new entries in the cyberpunk shooter landscape when it arrives in 2022.
