Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a Masterpiece

[@akeemkirkland3537]

I'm 35 years old and I've been playing Teenage mutant ninja turtles since the 90s and I have to say that I'm glad I get to relive my childhood again with this amazing TMNT game.

[@LarryStearnes007]

TMNT the best game in Nintendo Switch👍🤩😎

[@KswiftRob]

I know a game is good when my dad calls me and asks to "squad up"

[@sirkingpinmonroe4439]

The fact they got the original voice actors for the turtles from the 1987 cartoon to reprise their roles for the game is a huge highlight of this game for me. 😊

[@steviespears9595]

This will be my fave game on switch

[@nsgames24]

TMNT 2012 was the main reason why I became a fan of Ninja Turtles. Seriously, that was an awesome introduction to the series.

[@Blazio]

When Nickelodeon actually tries they make some stellar shows. So glad they continued TMNT's greatness after the 2003 series.

I've easily sunk so many hours into this game. I love that people can join you at anytime, leave anytime, or you can just drop in someone else's playthrough. Really brings back the old arcade days. And when you get 6 people playing, it's absolute carnage in the best way possible.

Played last night. I grew up with these guys and all the previous video games. The second the gameplay started I felt like the guy in the chair on the maxell cassette tapes getting blown away by nostalgia! If you've grown up with these mentioned games in the past, it's those x10. Visuals, sfx, motions, actions, story, etc. Fun and quick play. Not overdone!

[@garthsmith4285]

You sum up the game really well. Being a turtle fan from the 1990s, I’m now introducing it to my 4 year old son. He loves the game. It’s bringing the game and franchise to a new audience. Surely there’ll be more of this in the future.

[@aidanlucid9619]

Yeah, I'm 41 and grew up in Ireland watching this show! I even got my class in school in 1991 to join the Turtles Fan Club back in the day. Oh, what memories! I don't particularly like the new cartoons of the turtles. The way they're drawn is just downright weird. But loved the 2007 movie. That had heart like the 1990 version. Now to this game, I can't wait to get it. I might get it soon. Can't seem to get a physical copy at my local store for under €25 so I may purchase it on PSN store. Cowabunga guys!

I started watching Turtles from the 2003 version. Made me love Shredder as a villan and I also liked the relation Splinter had with him. Been excited for this game to come out. Easy 9/10. It's so fun, just my only complaint; it doesn't have quite the depth of SoR4

It's a no brainer for sure, I've probably watched about 10 Reviews already and I'm convinced this is definitely worth every penny. I am extremely picky with my games (because i don't like wasting money in games I'll eventually just abandon) and I'd buy this game without a second thought. So yeah, don't let people tell you how good this game is, you just have to experience it for yourself.

[@nightbreed16]

I love the heck out of this game. I will get the DLC if they add it.

[@Kranon]

As long as the community shows a "good reception" the DLC is essentially guaranteed. I'd imagine the devs are reading the reviews and thinking: okay, after this well deserved period of recovery we'll begin working on the DLC, maybe with a 2023 release date. I can definitely see people still hyped about this game after a year.

[@the8thark]

Unlike others (Mayo being one not so good example) Chi seems to wear his heart on his sleeve. He does exactly what we want to hear in a review. Tells us what his exactly what his opinions of the game are. What he saw, what he heard and what he experienced. He even prefaced this by saying "I am a fanboi so that is the context of the review" Saying "this game is amazing" is really a worthless throwaway statement. Masterpiece etc etc too. I know, it's in the title but that's fine. What Chi does is says "I like this game because this and that reason". Great review and I can not recommend it highly enough.

[@Kranon]

People watch reviews because they want to make sure they're not wasting their money on crappy games; specially if we're talking about Nintendo (who had become a Glorified Google Playstore). Although i don't necessarily like the epithet "masterpiece" (hate it as much as i hate the "hidden gem" one), I'm certain it fits this game because, no matter the angle and the perspective you use to approach this game, it's a well rounded experience. Besides, if we want that DLC, we need to show the developers how genuinely positive we are about this game and how open we'll be for a DLC, just imagine if this game got an additional campaign of 6/8 Levels! My review would be: don't just listen to me, if you're into these kind of games, it's a no brainer purchase at a fair price.

[@marknagorski1686]

I kinda did the same thing i played as April ENTIRE game on mobile and i saw differences in few boss fights that have some extra attacks: Dirtbag can hit you whit his shovel while he is underground (Also Groundchuck can accidentaly deal damage to Dirtbag). Super Shredder can close himself in a ball and spawn shadow clones and they shoot fireballs and you have to quickly remove them cuz they respawn. Why did i said about this? Because in videos of "All Bosses & Ending" i didnt saw those type of attacks so thats why i said about these two.

Cool game. Now, in general, it's like a renaissance of beat 'em up. At a recent steam festival, I played the demo of another potentially good game - Arnold Bounty Hunter. It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting.

A strong contender yes, but probably a more "Woke Game" will take that award.

I loved it. Born in the 80s so yeah. I just got it and I'm playing it with my kids. It definitely could use more characters and levels. So I disagree, it needs some DLC and I'd say it would be dumb if they didn't because it did feel a bit short and I would enjoy more characters. I still enjoy the core game though. I'm definitely going go through more play-throughs and level up all the characters. I definitely agree that other old games could take advantage of this similar treatment: X-men and Simpsons. I also played Streets of Rage 4, which was good too.

So yeah, i may not have my old friends around anymore, but my sister is definitely my favorite player 2 for these kind of games.

The pure black foot soldiers were the most annoying ones out of the batch, next to the white sword armed ones.

[@Aran_MD]

Gotta agree with you on all fronts! This is a great throwback and also evolution of the genre. Still, I feel it's not a 10/10 thought, but probably a 9/10 for me. Not because lenght or any of that, it's because I have been absolutely spoiled by Streets of Rage IV: I feel that game achieves an amazing level of depth with its mechanics where TMNT:SR doesn't. My main issues are the taunt spam for super attacks, or how underused is the combo system in TMNT while in SoR IV helps a lot with replayability. Trying to master all stages with S ranks in all difficulties takes time, but that was great fun for me. Unlocking new stuff with each run helps a lot too. But I don't think it was the developer's intent to make the game that deep. They wanted to keep it simple, so you can invite all your friends to play and only need to learn a few basic buttons and attacks. That way everyone can have a good time. Not saying TMNT:SR doesn't have any depth: (the different character moves alone take time to master) but it's not required at all to finish the game. It embraces multiplayer chaos and that's fucking great. Anyway, sorry for the long rant. Great video! So happy to see Turtles fans and Beat 'em up fans enjoying this game

[@kailomonkey]

I had some what I'd say is genuine criticism playing solo, that the story mode didn't really add much and you can't switch difficulties in story mode on the fly, and that maybe one playthrough was enough to have seen all the spectacle yet there's one trophy that requires a full game worth of playtime per character. But to keep it interesting yet less efficient, I joined multiplayer online games, where you can be thrown into any difficulty, enemies scale up per number of players, the players themselves change up how each screen goes, and there's hi-fives and revives to give. Basically any criticism solo goes away by dropping into online, and you will discover new techniques by playing more and feel good about it" The only indepth criticism I've seen is on combat and lack of invulnerability frames, which I can understand, but that would make it a different game. As it is it maintains at least some of the vulnerability of the arcade games where positioning yourself is key to handling the groups arriving. Smaller criticisms from more positive reviews were the same as mine and the only thing that really needs fixing is some issues with online bugs that sometimes force a game quit or full reboot.
