Hey Xbox fans, it’s time to dive into the wild world of Turbo Overkill, the cyberpunk first-person shooter that’s earning rave reviews across the board. Buckle up because this game is now available on Xbox!
Crafted by the indie gurus at Trigger Happy Interactive and brought to gamers by the legendary Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill is a thrilling homage to classic shooters like Doom and Quake. It injects all the exhilarating action of those retro bastions with a modern twist of speed and flair.
