Turbo Overkill

Turbo Overkill is a cyberpunk first-person shooter starring Johnny Turbo, a half-human, half-machine bounty hunter. He returns to Paradise to confront Syn, a rogue AI whose influence has possessed the city’s population and empowered its augmented minions. With rival bounty hunters also pursuing the prize, Johnny takes on the task of destroying the AI.

Fight through stages using a mix of weapons, movement abilities and cybernetic powers. Johnny’s arsenal includes arm rockets, while a chainsaw built into his lower leg lets him slide into enemies. The game also features Turbo Time, a slow-motion ability, and high-speed traversal across walls, with dashing and grappling hooks.
