But with the chainsaw, the faster you go, the more damage you inflict.
Much like in Respawn's battle royale, if you're zooming down a sloped surface you'll go faster. I have a lot of love for Apex's movement, so this felt pleasingly familiar. I mostly liked using this because it makes fights look incredibly cinematic - you know, if you like seeing pixely guts and gore flying around in slo-mo. It briefly slows time and gives you a damage boost, letting you catch up on the madness around you. One ability that helps with their difficulty is "hero time". I knew I had to get a sliding feature in, and I asked myself, 'What would happen if you could slide into monsters to kill them?' From there I figured if you slide into monsters you need a reason for them to die, so I basically stuck a chainsaw on the leg." "One of the features I loved was the movement, momentum and sliding. "When I was working on the prototype, I was playing a lot of Apex Legends," Prebble tells me. Right, okay, introductions are out of the way. Your character's name is somehow cheesier than the Doom Slayer too: you play as Johnny Turbo, and it's your job to deal with all these n'ere dowells. Instead of demons, you're beasting your way through a cyber city full of criminals with techy augmentations that a rogue AI has taken control of. During my time with the game, I ripped and tore my way through a stunning maze of neon high rises called Paradise. Turbo Overkill is what I imagine you'd get if Doom were set in a cyberpunk city, which isn't surprising considering that Prebble spent 15 years working on the Doom 2 mod Total Chaos. This is exactly what you're in for with Turbo Overkill, an upcoming shooter which took Apex Legends' excellent sliding mechanics and asked, "What if we added deadly spinning blades?" I've had a chat with game director Sam Prebble and even played a little bit myself, and I think you'll like the answer. But, when the chainsaw is embedded into your own leg and you can flick it out every time you do a butt slide, well then, it's much more of a problem for your enemies' ankles. Usually, I'd assume that if a chainsaw was near someone's leg, that'd be a problem.
