Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, GeForce GTX 970 or R9 390X, 5 GB of storage. Windows only.

Enter Paradise as Johnny Turbo—half-metal, half-human, all-murder machine. Clean up the streets with a chainsaw leg, 15+ weapons and your hovercar as you battle the rogue AI Syn, rival bounty hunters and cyberpunks aplenty. Apogee’s most outrageous FPS since Duke Nukem 3D. Good hunting, Sir!

The value story

June 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. 36 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Past sales have already crossed the $14.91 BANGER line 11 times.

Value puts it in the top 8 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, CULTIC ($9.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Ion Fury ($24.99, scores 67).

86 from critics against 94 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Steam's global achievement data puts 42 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Players rate it 94 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 83 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 659 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 12 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 962 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

At 12.2 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

The most fun I've had with an FPS in a while. Excellent enemy design, I love the gnarly amalgamations of flesh and machine. Love how vibrant the colors are too, and that slight pixelation. The only problems I have are that there isn't quite enough feedback when shooting an enemy and the chainsaw leg kind of steals the show with how effective and fun it is. Fantastic game. Johnny had better return!

One of the best "modern" boomer shooters I've ever played! You can tell the developers put their heart and soul into this one. Crazy sci-fi story line (Running Man meets Terminator meets the Matrix lol), awesome world design with great platforming, super slick movement feels intuitive(you can literally grapple hook your own rockets), plenty of weapon variety, great techno soundtrack, and a long campaign with lots of...

Solid boomer shooter. Fast pace, simple story, nice visuals. This is the game for those who just what to shoot and rip apart enemies on an industrial scale.
