While the story hasn’t gone too far just yet, given this is merely a third of what to expect, it’s surprisingly in-depth and engaging. Whether Johnny can take them down and save the human race is up to you. Except that desire extends to the entire world, so much is at stake beyond a few simple cybernetic soldiers. Like any rogue AI in stories like these, Syn has an unquenching desire to bring an end to organic life and merge man and machine into the perfect being. Bought by an unknown executive, Johnny must descend on the city of Paradise and murder a horde of augmented minions, all run by the tyrannical AI Syn. Turbo Overkill follows the story of Johnny Turbo, a half-human, half-robot hybrid best known as a skilled gun for hire. Turbo Overkill is currently only on PC, so the review was conducted through that platform. But does this cybernetically-enhanced slaughter-fest give great first impressions? Find out in my review of the early access version of Turbo Overkill! The latest in that line of shooters is Turbo Overkill, coming from indie publisher Apogee Entertainment ( Rise of the Triad, Crystal Caves HD) alongside developer Trigger Happy Interactive.

New Blood’s ensemble of boomer shooters offers a nice filling, though other indies have managed to hit the spot lately with games like Prodeus (which I fell in love with during my Early Access review). Sure, they don’t have the visual prowess of modern AAA shooters, but the understanding of what makes shooters fun at their core is vibrant. Let me say right out the door that boomer shooters are easily my favorite genre of game.
