TMNT Wrath of the Mutants - Full Game 1CC

Wrath of the Mutants is a beat 'em up developed by Raw Thrills, originally released in arcades back in 2017, but now it has finally been released on all modern platforms.
Unfortunately, it's not a great game. It did grow on me a bit as I played, but it has some major issues that you just can't look past.
The two most annoying things to me are the gun enemies and the bosses. A lot of the enemies that use guns can shoot at you before you can even see them on screen, and the projectiles have fairly large hitboxes that can make them hard to avoid. You really have to memorize their placements, or else they're going to chip away at you throughout each stage they appear in. They'll become less of a problem as you learn the game more, but it's really just terrible design.
I don't like most of the bosses either. They typically only react to the first attack you hit them with (depending on the timing, you might get two) - after that, they start a counter attack combo. The only way to avoid it is to run away, so every fight comes down to the same hit and run tactics. Most of them are just tedious to fight. And it's really hard to avoid damage on some of these bosses - not only because they can counter really fast, but also because an extra keeps spawning until you defeat the boss. They're not too bad to deal with, but again, most of the time they just chip away at you. It wouldn't be so bad if they dropped a pizza after you defeat them, but most of the time you don't get one for quite a while. That sucks too.
There's also no consecutive stage run, like other arcade games. You just play one stage at a time, totally self-contained. I'm not a fan of that either.
Other than that, the game isn't too bad. They brought over a lot of the mechanics that Konami's TMNT games had, for better and for worse. It's not terribly long and it moves at a decent enough pace, so it can be fun as you play and learn to work around the annoyances. I'm not a fan of the graphics, art or music either, but I'm not too bothered by any of it. I guess it's inoffensive, lol.
They're selling this for $29.99 at the moment, and I would definitely not recommend it at that price. For 10, or maybe 15 bucks, it could be worth a shot for the TMNT arcade fan who's already play enough of the old games, I suppose.

You make this look easy. Precision gameplay is hard to pull off with the "lock-on" mechanic, especially if you're using the shurikens with a bunch of Kraangs on-screen. Also, for some reason you can't pick up Turtle Power when carrying an object, even though the arcade version allowed you to. Not sure why they would make such a cheap design change for the home version.

I buyed this game, I thought it was fun. But some things keeps this from being a great game. I don’t like after each stage the lives and continues are reset, would be better to be able to get more lives with points. I hate the auto lock on on the air, I am so used to use the air kick to scape more faster, but the turtle kicks towards the enemy. Also the enemies should not be able to shoot projectiles outside the screen, that’s super cheap. The pizza should refill the complete energy. Playing more than 2 players, there should be 2 pizzas there instead of one. Also the jumping of the turtles should be faster, it is very slow. When you are attacking and move the joystick, the turtle should move immediately, takes forever to be able to scape proyectiles while fighting another enemy. And you should be able at least to conect a full combo to the enemy, it is so cheap you hit the boss even once and he attacks back. With these changes, the game should be even more fun and more fair.

Fantastic, I was waiting for your "review"

[@harlannguyen4048]

So, do each Turtle have their unique stats like in the classic arcade games? I couldn't tell when I played this in the arcades.

[@Shafintheninja7350]

Good job for playing this game 😊😊😊😊😊

[@jazallc938]

Great Full game, Great game 👍

[@Mingodough]

Shorter than shredder’s revenge, that’s surprising.

[@seanlafferty6683]

Even if it isn't too great I do think its cool that it got a re-release. I wonder if there gonna do the same for that remake of turtles in time released a while back?

[@haomaru05samurai24]

Good ii😊

[@MongooseDave2]

You gonna get back into River City Girls 2 when the dlc comes out?

[@iconoclast575]

Depends on the timing, but I might check it out. I still haven't tried the new characters in Double Dragon Gaiden.

[@mikedski9698]

TURTLE POWER!

[@jazallc938]

LET'S KICK SOME SHELL!

WANTED DESTRUCTION... I LOVE IT!

[@gameglitcher4]

Nice 1cc. Now go play a good game like Zombie Revenge.

[@OhNoTheFace]

God what is wrong with their bebop and rocksteady? That is both bad and offensive. I see what you mean with the immediate armoured counter punch on bosses. Annoying. Beat em ups do that but usually let you get one combo in first. Also no to the art style and voice acting lol

[@iconoclast575]

Yeah the Bebop being a Michael Jackson impersonator sure was a choice. I assume all these designs come from this era of the turtles, I've never seen it. This game isn't encouraging me to either lol.

[@G-Self]

​@@iconoclast575The cartoon is actually really good and very true and respectful to the original comics. The episodes where they crossover with the '87 Turtles are also really fun.

this game look and feels like s&&t
