Boomer Shooter 2.0: Electric Move-a-Loo
Santa was good to me this year: A Blu-Ray with Quake 2, Warhammer 40K: Boltgun and Turbo Overkill was waiting under the tree. (I still have no idea how I could have been THAT good this year.) Quake 2 is legendary and Boltgun is just F-U-N. But Turbo Overkill is...something else. It moves faster than Doom Eternal could ever hope while offering combat that is both frantic on the edge of uncontrollable while being completely controllable - after a few hours it feels so natural that going back to a slower shooter feels like the controls have been crippled. Turbo Overkill looks amazing, sounds like sonic gold and moves like a lubed gold bar sliding down a luge pipe. Johnny Overkill is a 'street sweeper' (i.e. a corpo merc) sent to the world of Paradise to deal with a rogue AI called SYN. SYN has taken control of the planet's systems and is slowly infecting the populace. What begins as a cheap riff of System Shock's plot becomes something much more over the top and deep, incorporating elements of Robocop, Akira and Doom 2016/Eternal to make something much more than the sum of its parts. It's one of the best boomer shooter stories to come around in a long time. I've thought about how to describe the look and sound of this game. My best analogy is 'if Cyberpunk 2077 was made in 1996 and had Megadeth write the the soundtrack.' It's a neon-drenched, metal-infused wonder. Nothing I have said means squat if the game plays like scop. It doesn't. The guns hit hard and none of them are useless (even the starting pistols are useful in the endgame). The movement is frantic and the environments promote chaotic dashing, double-jumping and chainsaw sliding to get the job done. (Good thing Trigger Happy took notes from Doom Eternal.) I swear, when I chainsaw slid under a four-legged tank, killed a line of melee enemies, shotgun-jumped and put a salvo of rockets into the tank...'Yep, this is GOTY.' Stop reading - start playing what might just be 2023's GOTY.
