Steam Awards Are Here!
It's been an awesome year for Turbo Overkill. The reception to the final episode and the 1.0 release has been incredible to see. While we believe Turbo could contend for a few categories in this year's Steam Awards, we think the soundtrack to Paradise is a particular standout and based on what we've heard, a lot of you do too!

1.0 is FINALLY here!
Sup.
1.0 is out.
To celebrate, there's a final 15% off launch discount before the price raises to the planned $24.99 for 1.0. Get it now!
Thanks to all the fans from day one for their support throughout Early Access. This wouldn't have been possible without each of you.
1.0 Delayed until August 11
Okay so, bad news I'm afraid.
We gotta delay, LAST TIME, I SWEAR. But trust us, it will be totally worth it.
In short, the game is complete from start to finish. We technically could release now, but we felt we need a little more time to resolve a lot of other things. We are not 100% there with some of the optimization and level flow. The multiplayer suite is still a little rusty (needs more options) and the amount of bugs I've encountered in the campaign I feel are a little much.
That, coupled with the last delay of Ep 3 Part 1, had a flow on effect with this one
Another reason for the delay, and I usually don't bring up my personal life, but my partner and I recently had a baby girl! No, we didn't call her Ripper in case you were wondering. Any time I had left till the 18th deadline has been slowly sucked away as I've been coming to grips with fatherhood (babies are hard)!
Apologies for those eager to play, we are looking forward to a 1.0 release in mid-August. The final 3 levels of the game are fucking epic (and long).

The Final Episode: Part 1 -- OUT NOW
The neon-lit dystopia known as Paradise has been overrun by Syn, an all-seeing artificial intelligence dead-set on destruction. Paint the town red with dual chainsaw arms and rev up fresh carnage with a second chainsaw leg.
Cleanse the streets. Purge Syn.
Turbo's 1.0 launch will conclude the narrative with the second half of Episode 3 on July 18.
