TMNT: Splintered Fate

[Chaotix12345]

Splinter is captured. The Foot Clan are on the attack. New York City is in chaos! Enter the FIGHT, ADAPT, REPEAT portal loop of Splintered Fate to set things straight.

When Splinter is kidnapped by Shredder, mysterious portals simultaneously appear across NYC. With April and Metalhead analyzing recovered artifacts for clues, the Turtles battle to recover their father from the clutches of the Foot Clan. However, as the gang gets ever ?closer to Splinter’s otherworldly location, an even greater threat lingers in the shadows…

- Roguelike action game!- Fast, visceral and exciting combat puts you in the middle of Turtle brawls

- No two runs are the same- Randomized power-ups, room layouts, and boss modifiers for gnarly fun!

- Play your favorite Turtle- Take control of all four Turtles, each with unique powers and abilities

- Unite the Brothers- Bodacious co-op gameplay with up to four players

- Travel through iconic TMNT NYC locations- Starting in the sewers and ending in an epic rooftop battle!

- Upgrade your Turtle Powers- Unlock and level-up your powers to become a master ninja

- Defeat your enemies- Face off against a host of classic TMNT foes and factions

So this came out of nowhere! A new TMNT game just dropped exclusively on Apple Arcade. You can check out some gameplay below:



Judging from said gameplay, it appears to be set in an IDW-adjacent world ala Mutants in Manhattan. (What with the villainous, self-loathing Leatherhead and intelligent, Mikey-buddy Slash as well as the VERY similar character designs.) It's also fully voice-acted! (I can pick out Roger Craig Smith as Raph and Yuri Lowenthal as Mikey. Not sure about anyone else.) Looks really neat overall, I just wish it was on a platform I had access to.

Was interested till I see the overhead camera isometric view, I don't like games with that kind of camera.

Seems like I’ve heard the term”Roguelike” a lot this week after not previously being aware of it that it existed.

When it's available on other devices I'll play it

Speaking of mobile devices...
Chaotix12345, can you embed a reduced size image of the game's promotional screen or else put the big embedded image in SPOILER tags? It shows up GIGANTIC on mobile, which in turns makes the rest of the thread and all the text in comments look teeny-tiny.

Edit: Thanks!

it looks really cool but, even though apple arcade is a solid deal, not sure i want to sub right now. there is a trial though if anyone wants to try it out.

Likewise, as soon as/if this hits Switch — I'm in.

[TMNTMenace]

if it is not linked to an IP I always have a bit of trouble with it, voice acting feels always off for me. then i can't connect with it

It reminds me of the really fun Marvel Ultimate Alliance Dungeon Crawler. Those first two games were amazing.

Looks cool but subscription? Hard pass. I’ll watch on YouTube then.

[terrorblade]

It kinda reminds me of Hades, the game looks like a lot of fun, I hope it's not going to be an Apple exclusive forever.

Started a Thread over in the Comics section for the one-shot tie-in comic:

Yes!! I’m excited to finally try this out.

[RaphaelinSTL]

So far this has been a lot of fun! Glad I picked this up.

[RaphaelinSTL]

Just coming back to say how much I've been enjoying this. I really, really like it. A top 10 TMNT game contender for me.

[Zulithe]

I will pick up the steam version.

not happy that they released the Switch version before the PC version :/

Games of this type tend to get repetitive very quickly, especially since this started as a mobile phone game. How repetitive do the "runs" get?

Not at all, the variety in the types of things you fight keeps you on your toes ... and as you power up, so do they. I've noticed as I keep getting further and further into runs, they introduce new types of Foot or different powered Mousers ... along with other characters.

I've already put over five hours into the game, and the thing that I like about this is how much I want to play as the different Turtles. Normally, I stick with Raphael through any game as that's just what comes naturally to me ... but with each run and how almost closer I get to the end, I feel an incentive to try again with a different Turtle.

The story is engaging too.

It's definitely a TMNT-skinned Hades, but I'm really, really enjoying my time with it.
