![]() ![]() It's great for fending off aggressive targets as you can kite them along in a circle while making sure your beam bullet strikes true.Īs the levels progress, the player will unlock access to a pump-action shotgun, dual machine guns, and a sawed-off shotgun to name a few. This is the risk-reward that prevents the Pistol from being an auto-target cheat code. If the line of sight breaks, the beams will have a chance to miss, but over-exposure can lead to a hail of enemy bullets. Think of this feature similar to the shooting mechanic in Rez or Panzer Dragoon, although the player has to keep a line of sight as the beams fire from the pistols. The pistol's alt-fire function allows Turbo to charge one of the pistols, locking on to as many enemies in place, and fires a homing beam at each of them. They have a medium rate of fire, decent accuracy, and deal solid damage. The starting pistols are the "jack-of-all-trades" weapons in Turbo Overkill. This is because each gun in the game has a unique feel while having distinct strengths and weaknesses to make them stand out. While these enemies hit harder, these fights are where the gameplay really gets a chance to shine. ![]() Occasionally, there are enemies larger and stronger than the run-of-the-mill goon. The game encourages Turbo to move constantly while lining up enemies to mow them down in a hail of bullets. The freedom of movement Turbo Overkill provides makes ambushes easy to manage as you have to be standing still in order to die a quick death. It's in the middle of the five given difficulties, ranging from "Easy" to this game's equivalent of "Nightmare" difficulty. I'm playing through this game under the "Hard" difficulty and by Stage 4, it felt like the most optimal difficulty. While moving, the button also serves as a slide, assuming a low profile and going through hidden areas. Left CTRL is Turbo's melee where he brandishes a chainsaw from his boot, giving Chainsaw Man a run for his money. Aside from the classic WASD movement, the left shift button allows Turbo to dash (Turbo Dash.) on the ground and up to two times in the air. Keyboard and mouse feel the most natural with Turbo Overkill's gunplay as hair-triggering reflexes are needed for the onslaught that awaits the player. There's no native controller support at the time of this review but it's something that has been acknowledged and will be "tweaked" upon the release date Brandishing dual pistols, Turbo is greeted by several goons and the gunfights begin. Turbo's friendly AI gives him their task, in which Turbo leaps off a bridge and lands chainsaw feet first onto a hapless thug's body. Turbo is tasked to save his city, Paradise, from a rising cult whose mastermind is a floating eyeball A.I named Syn.Įverything the player needs to know about what awaits them is within the first 30 seconds. Even our protagonist's name, Johnny Turbo, is up there with the Duke and Serious Sam as "badass" names to shoot minions by. It has the intensity of Doom and Shadow Warrior, the cyberpunk aesthetics from Cyberpunk 2077, jumping and gunplay like Quake, and that's just from the first level. Turbo Overkill is one of those titles that is hard to define its genre, simply because its inspirations are vast and rich. Hoping for some hints or help - thanks.Available as: Digital Those Alien Scum Won't Shoot Up This Ride ![]() Must be a local thing for Rou'Z'a and I, because shopping and upgrading seem like features that everyone who' played more than 2 minutes should've experienced. Third time, I skipped the shop to further check out the demo - but it then happens at upgrade menu as well: Menu is shown, but "stuck" in front view, while all inputs are directed to (blurred) background / character movement. When trying again after restart, the game quit for me. Kindda reminds me of when using Steam overlay for a game that doesn't support it.įirst time it happened, I had to ALT+F4 the game. So the blurred and darkened background moves, but shop-tiles are still in the forefront. Bottons (for shop) are visible, but I cannot click them (or key up / down), as this is interpreted to be character movement. Hi, was searching for this specific issue - happens in the demo version too Press ESCAPE to shop as per hint, but brings game menu up as well as shop. ![]()
