It pains me to do this but this game sucks! The combat, dialogue, and story are all super cringe. I personally didn't care for the art style but some may find it appealing. The flow of the game is interrupted by silly side content that just doesn't belong in a game like this. I really tried to give it a chance but this is in my opinion the worst TMNT game ever made!

Like most games nowadays its unfinished. Enemies get stuck behind or between objects, you get stuck behind or between objects, collectibles get stuck behind or between objects. Game did not track some achievements. Fell through the map on 2 missions. The amount of cut-scenes or loading screens is unnecessary. Lengthen the "missions" or playtime and shorten the wait times. Not sure what the plan is for season pass …

If you are TMNT fan and like some beat em up , AND you are a fan of this new art style then I would definitely recommend. The game is simple yet enjoyable. Fighting is solid and different combos get unlocked over time. There is bit more to do in it than just hopping from mission to mission kicking butts. With progression you also unlock more game mechanics. All in all..... buy it, enjoy it and support devs for …

This game is really interesting. The gameplay is nothing special. It's solid and has some nice aspects. The only legit issue with it is the game is not just difficult and even as a kid I don't think I'd ever struggle with it. Where the games shines is literally everywhere else. It stays true to the film and you really feel like youre in that world. Same VAs, for the most part, the animation is properly realized, the …

In Japan, four critics from Famitsu gave the game a total score of 25 out of 40. Luke Reily of IGN gave the game a 5 out of 10 rating. He commended the visuals and the voice acting, but was ultimately disappointed by the experience for its reused levels, frequent and lengthy loading screens, lack of exploration capabilities, poor camera controls, shallow combat, and slim enemy selection. He wrote: "It's not ninja crap, but the T.U.R.T.L.E. power is limited". Jim Norman of Nintendo Life also gave the game a 5 out of 10 rating, highlighting the side content,…

I DO wish the dodge had some i-frames because, as is, the combat is a bit obtuse. Especially if youre switching between turtles. so far 8/10 IMO Edit: After putting more time into the game I wanna change my score, I think its more of a 7/10 I have not quite finished the game (75%) but my biggest issue is the combat. It gets stale and there are some frustrating sections…

neutral · AI labelView post →You'd think a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game wouldn't be a sicko pick... but it's a wildly undersold, highly experimental turn-based scrolling brawler by Stange Scaffold, makers of Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator. It manages to feel shockingly like TMNT arcade despite the genre shift.

It died when I was still watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons. I figure they're communicating to really old people (which is bizarre since I feel extremely old). It's the equivalent of yelling at cavemen about saber tooth tigers.
