How to play Turbo Overkill on Mac

Turbo Overkill is an over-the-top FPS inspired by retro shooters such as Doom and Quake. It is being developed by Trigger Happy Interactive, and although the game is still in early access, it has already received glowing praise from the critics, and “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam.
“Turbo Overkill” is a very appropriate name for this game, as it strives to be, well… just that. Or, in other words, as over-the-top, intense, and gory as possible. The game’s protagonist, Johnny Turbo, is a cyborg, equipped with combat augmentations few have thought possible… or sensible… or necessary in any way. Does he need rocked launchers inside his arms and a chainsaw leg? Who knows; but you get to play with these anyway. Engaging in indiscriminate manslaughter rewards you with money, which you can use to upgrade weapons and augments.
With this ridiculously overpowered body, as well as a whole arsenal of weapons, Johnny makes a questionable decision to confront a hostile AI named Syn. The fact that this guy had to think twice about it should tell you all you need to know about our antagonist. This game will *not* be a walk in the park.
Turbo Overkill can be played on Windows, PS4 & PS5, Xbox One & Series X/S, and the Switch. Third-party tools are required to play Turbo Overkill on Mac, so follow the guide below to learn about them.

Play Turbo Overkill on Mac with BootCamp

Note: Mac computers with new Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3 Pro, or M1, M2, M3 Max) currently do not support BootCamp. In this case, please, use the options above to run Turbo Overkill on Mac

This method is simple but time-consuming. If your Mac meets all the system requirements above, you can play Turbo Overkill on Mac by installing Windows. You need to set up a dual boot of Windows and Mac via BootCamp. This is an application that allows users to choose the system to work in on startup, however, you won’t be able to switch between systems like in Parallels. You will need to reboot your machine every time you want to switch from Mac to Windows and vice versa. Remember that Mac is just a computer, in the end. And while newer Macs have their own special Apple Silicon chips that cannot run Windows, older Macs are very much similar to computers that run Windows, they have Intel processors, compatible RAM, disks, and other components. So you can install Windows on an older Mac by allocating no less than 64 GB of disk space (to be able to run Windows and a couple of games) and following these steps:

For OS X El Capitan 10.11 and older

For MacOS versions prior to OS X El Capitan 10.11 you will need to create a bootable Windows USB.

  1. Download this Windows ISO file.
  2. Open Boot Camp Assistant (Go to Applications > Utilities).
  3. Define the Windows partition size and choose the Windows ISO file you’ve downloaded.
  4. Format the Windows partition and go through all Windows installation steps.
  5. When Windows boots for the first time follow on-screen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers)
