Montreal studio Outerminds is promising us a post-apocalyptic adventure like no other with a video game based on 2015 low budget adventure movie .
”Based on the beloved cult classic superhero film from 2015, Turbo Kid is an all-new pixel art Metroidvania-style adventure, drenched in jaw-dropping graphics, outrageous weapons, bucketloads of gore, ragdoll physics, BMX bikes and cotton candy.
Set in a retro-futuristic 80s vision of 1997, gamers play as Turbo Kid, our comic-book lovin’ hero as he takes on a manipulative Preacher and his devoted disciples to free a confined Wasteland town from their theocratic rule. A nightmare vision of the 90s, Turbo Kid is set in a world where humanity has broken down, water is scarce, tyrannical warlords roam the Wasteland, and bikes are the steeds of choice for would-be saviours.
Massive worlds crammed full of surprises and danger await as you upgrade and build, blasting, slashing, running, jumping, crawling and yes, riding your way to victory, while immersing you in an original soundtrack provided by the masters of electronica, Le Matos.”
Turbo Kid will be released on Steam on April 10, 2024. a demo is available now.
The film it’s based on was directed by François Simard (Summer of 84), Anouk Whissell (We Are Zombies), and Yoann-Karl Whissell (Wake Up), also known as the collective RKSS.
