you see retro shooters pop up everyday in this market, theyre a dime a dozen. but this one introduces you to its chainsaw slide killing in a skate park so you already know that this one is baller as hell. the level design is creative and engaging, the movement is smooth as cream, combat is as cathartic as smashing shit with a sledgehammer.

balance is almost perfect as it is. most enemies are 1 shot-able with the chainsaw leg but theyre the fodder, horde, masses of meat and steel that distract you from the real deal enemies that will obliterate you in a millisecond. i feel that some of the lesser enemies shouldnt be one shotted by the chainsaw though, it's a bit cheesy with the slide at times. also, even though youre supposed to be a fast glass cannon i felt a couple of the deaths were too quick.

anyways, with its ridiculous name, turbo overkill seems to be a contender for a great retro fps with how pristine its movement and weapons are made.
