#TURBO OVERKILL REVIEW MOVIE#
"If Sam Raimi's Evil Dead movie made the Chainsaw Arm an iconic piece of weaponry, wait till you see the leg chainsaw." I would definitely recommend Turbo Overkill to players that enjoy fast-paced shooter games while wanting to blow off some steam by killing hordes of enemies." Turbo Overkill is the best Tony Hawk game in years." The graphics reminded me of the other shooter games of the genre while putting a modern spin and a breath of fresh air in this subgenre of FPS games. The music, background, and art were immersive, as I was slightly spooked by the dark and creepy tones while also being excited and energized by fighting so many enemies at once.

I had a fun and exciting time exploring and fighting the vast maze-like stages of Paradise. Saving the city is not such an easy task, as many, many hordes of enemies will be against you while you just have a single healthbar and no other allies to help you. However, once you get used to the controls, you will realize that you are able to plow down hundreds of enemies with just your gun and chainsaw. In the earlier stages, the monsters are meant to be a little easier, so that you are able to get used to the mechanics, which can be a bit overwhelming at first due to the fast-paced nature of Turbo Overkill.

Both weapons can be upgraded in various methods as well as customized so that you have the best chance to advance to the next level. There are two different styles of killing enemies, one of which is guns and the other is your melee weapon, a chainsaw. The first-person shooter controls are fairly simple and easy to get used to. There were several Easter egg-like discoveries that I made, which was exciting and fun to discover as well as rewarding. I had a lot of fun exploring each level, looking for all different types of gear, guns while killing hordes of monsters and bots. Each stage is vast and non-linear, allowing you to explore while defeating automatronic monsters. The stage levels are closely modeled after the cyberpunk and undercity themes of Turbo Overkill.

Paradise is run by the conscious AI, Syn, who wants to expand and dominate the rest of the world, but as the player character, you must defeat his minions and save the rest of the world from mechanical rule. There were many, many different types of monsters to kill within each maze-like stage as I collected, gathered, and purchased many different types of gear such as guns, health kits, and ammo to use during each level. In this underworld, you have to fight and kill to survive against the evil robotic overlord of the city. The neon lighting, cheerful ads on digital screens in the background of Turbo Overkill is complemented with the dark underworld that you live in.

Immediately after starting up the Turbo Overkill demo on Steam, by developer Trigger Happy Interactive and publisher Apogee Entertainment, I was met with the awesome, but slightly creepy setting of Paradise, a cyberpunk styled city filled with augmented monsters to defeat.
