Some weapons also provide traversal options outside of combat. Dashing can obviously be used as a way of dodging projectiles, while wall-running can be used to reach the other side of a combat arena. The moves are pretty seamless between traversal and combat.
#DOOM CLASSIC FOR MAC FULL#
Some platform sections have jump-pads linked to wall-runs, followed by dashing into another wall-run, all before leap-dashing straight into an elevated combat arena full of thugs. Given that Turbo Overkill will also allow players to dash and wall-run, does that mean the game will also put some emphasis on parkour and traversal? Or are those moves primarily used for combat purposes?Ī lot of the level design is extremely vertical, challenging the players to use a string of mechanics to traverse. It’s also satisfying as hell watching the gore and debris fly all over the place at half-speed. Hero Time grants the players more room to think about what their next move is, like a brief relief from the chaos unfolding before them.
The combat in Turbo Overkill is extremely frantic, sometimes even turning into a bullet-hell as you dodge incoming projectiles. Can you talk about how it will impact combat, or perhaps even traversal? The Hero Time mechanic sounds like an interesting concept, especially for a shooter that’s putting so much emphasis on fast-paced action. That is what I am hoping to replicate with Turbo Overkill. All that really mattered was having a killer gameplay loop combined with amazing level design. I always enjoyed the open-ended level design of Doom and Duke Nukem, along with the abstract level design of Quake. My background is mostly in making maps for Doom 2, ever since I was 6 years old. I wanted to take that formula from the games I grew up on and infuse it with mechanics from modern games I love. All that mattered back then was making the guns fun to shoot and enemies enjoyable to splatter. Turbo Overkill cites classic shooters like DOOM and Quake as its inspirations, but can you elaborate a little bit more on that? What’s the biggest way the game takes cues from the classics? "The combat in Turbo Overkill is extremely frantic, sometimes even turning into a bullet-hell as you dodge incoming projectiles." Below, you can read our conversation with Sam Prebble, founder of Trigger Happy Interactive and lead developer of Turbo Overkill. It’s a combination that has a ton of potential, as you might imagine, and to learn more about the game and how it’s shaping up, we recently reached out to its developers with a few of our questions about it. Indie team Trigger Happy Interactive’s upcoming shooter Turbo Overkill promises exactly that, against the backdrop of a vibrant cyberpunk setting, with the bells and whistles you’d want in a modern shooter. No matter how much first person shooters grow and change and evolve, the simplicity of the adrenaline-fueled action that defined classics such as DOOM and Quake will never go out of style, which is why modern titles that swear by those design philosophies are always such as in attractive proposition.
