    Awesome nostalgia trip. TMNT(SR) looks and plays fantastically whilst staying true to the older titles in the franchise. Currently playing multiplayer via Xcloud (perfectly) on the Ayn Odin and the boy is playing on the Series X. This game is best in class.

    Splendido, molto curato.
    Temevo due cose: 1) Che fosse un gioco che si reggesse solo sulla nostalgia 2) di essere troppo vecchio e smaliziato per un picchiaduro arcade.
    i timori erano infondati: è un ottimo passatempo. Molto giocabile, rapido, dal sistema di combattimento soddisfacente. Entrare ed uscire dal gioco con altri giocatori connessi è rapido e semplice, ed ora che il gioco è    Splendido, molto curato.

    Molto giocabile, rapido, dal sistema di combattimento soddisfacente.
    Entrare ed uscire dal gioco con altri giocatori connessi è rapido e semplice, ed ora che il gioco è appena uscito si trova sempre qualcuno con cui fare una partita, con attese quasi nulle...ed è molto godibile in gruppo.
    Pieno di citazioni e riferimenti al cartone anni 80 ed al film, sempre anni 80.
    C'è qualche bug in fase di multiplayer online, che blocca il gioco all'avvio di un livello ogni tanto....ma niente di tragico...basta lasciare la partita e ricominciare (senza nemmeno riavviare il gioco) per sistemare tutto.
    Ottimo prodotto, tra l'altro pagato pochissimo con l'xbox gamepass per pc.
    Gamepad oppure Fighting stick (anche economico ) raccomandatissimo, quasi obbligatorio.
    Ovviamente parliamo di un gioco ARCADE, che omaggia la vecchia scuola....io giocavo questo genere di giochi più di ventanni fà in sala giochi e sono abituato, i giocatori più giovani sono avvisati.
    E simile ad i picchiaduro "rapidi" come Street of rage, Vendetta, The Punisher, Cadillac and Dinosaurs ....(più rapido di un Double Dragon o Golden Axe).
    in due o tre giorni si finisce la trama principale.... ma rimane divertente anche una volta finito.
    Rapido da avviare, si sceglie un livello da rigiocare e via.... è divertente rigocarci.
    La longevità è allungata dal cercare punteggi più alti, provare altri personaggi, sbloccare trofei, far salire di livello uno dei protagonisti, vedere le diverse schermate finali ecc

    It's a great, great, great, great, great game - but not perfect, as it's way too easy... once you get a hang of your turtle, rat or April, the enemies and bosses stand zero chance - especially once you've levelled up a bit.

    Awesome, except I don't know why they changed the rhythm of lyric delivery in some sections in the theme song cover. I don't care that taunt can be spammed, maybe it'll be changed maybe it won't, but if it really bothers you, play gnarly difficulty in arcade mode and get back to me. First playthrough was in 5p coop and it was a blast. Already replaying it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The main question is, do you need a big budget to make a really good game? Of course not. When you got ideas and proper execution this is what we get, probably the best TMNT game. The big hit of nostalgia is at your fingertips. Design, Gameplay, Music, everything here is just great, the game has a cool story mode with really great co-op, and high replay value, especially with friends, since u can level up all available characters up to level 10. We got some collectibles to find across the levels, and boss fights, and all this is served in two classic modes (Story and Arcade).. Finally, we got a little diamond among the puke that AAA studios served us lately (Diablo Immortal, Warcraft III: Reforged, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA Trilogy, and so on). Pure fun and joy, this is what u get when u decide to buy this game. Remember game folks and greedy devs, gameplay and pure fun are always above graphics and big-budget, and here we got a good example. The last thing I can say is that we can only wait for the sequel.

    Good and simple character progression system.

    Ну что тут скажешь, делать битемап по черепашкам-ниндзя изначально было беспроигрышной идеей, независимо от качества и оригинальности проекта, но игра всё-таки смогла меня немного удивить.
    Начнём с того, что я вообще не фанат этого жанра, считаю его очень устаревшим и однообразным, а "выезжание" на настольгии "олдовых" геймеров, конечно, очень скользкий маркетинговый ход, тут вообще сходу включают легендарную заставку, которая автоматически пробирает до муршаек, но мне черепашки 80-ых, кстати, никогда не нравились, по мне в 2000-ых годах были мульты покруче, не настолько карикатурные.
    Крче, несмотря на то, что я вообще не целевая аудитория этой игры, но на 2 часа она смогла меня увлечь, очень качественные анимации, разнообразные локации, кооператив до 6 человек с поддержкой клава/мыши и ремот плея, все игровые механики сделаны по классике битемапов, геймплейных проблем (своим хоть и абсолютно непрофессиональным в жанре взглядом, но всё же) не нашёл, наоборот очень много крутых мелочей, таких как, например, возможность хилить союзников, хлопая с ними в ладоши, а сделав забавный таунт.. например.. поиграв в приставку прямо во время боя, вы накопите немного энергии) Поднимать упавших друзей вы будете запахом куска Пиццы) Можно кидать противников прямо вам в экран. Обычные драки разбавляются уровнями с драками в полёте.
    И вот в этом все черепахи, очень креативно, со вкусом, возможно, лучший битемап, в который я играл, но всё же не предлагающий чего-то достаточно уникального, и, вторая половина игры (общая продолжительность часа 3-4), выглядит уже не так увлекательно. Да и большинство боссов это очень похожие друг на друга звери, то кабан, то медведь, а можно не только с животными сражаться?) Также тут есть коллектиблсы, за которые вам, вроде просто прокачивают уровень перса, ну, могли бы придумать что-то получше. Сюжет тут, естественно, максимально прост, говорить не о чем, хотя заставки прикольные.

Totally worth it Finished the story in a couple of days. Tons of replayability. Super fun with friends. There's a ton of love put into this game, and it shows. You can tell the developers are very fond of the source material. The older folk will enjoy this nostalgia trip and all the tiny details carried from those arcade games in the 90s. Younger audience can enjoy a very solid gameplay, avcompanied by with fun voicelines tons of puns. This is a no brainer. You can't go wrong with this onr. You'll hours of fun out of those 10 bucks.
    Now, if you are still wondering what aspects of the game could annoy you. The game's too simple, you can pretty much finish the whole game just smashing the one attaco button, jumoing from time to time and pushing the "special atttack" a couple of tines per level. Don't get me wrong, you can pull somr sock combos and chain you attacks. However, it comes don't only to the d-pad and one attack button. You can juggle your enemies and throw them into other enemies, which is fun as heck, but the animations are so detailed that you sometimes try to act faster than the game allows and you'll take cheap hits from enemies cause you arr stuck in you cooldown frames. You can use the dodge button but you will, most likely, forget it even exists. Besides, again, you are on you cooldown frames so you are sruck until Leo stips swinging his swords around. Furthermore, there's no block button, you can't cancels your grabs of the enemies and you don't have "ranged attacks". All of this details were there back in the Manhattan project, so you can see where I'm going with this. The gameplay feels dated in a lot of places Thet evolved the whole formula and got.set back by frecreating the old games too hard.
    All of this complains don't make the game less fun, just make it simpler and this game is too essy for the most part, except whennit comes to the challenges, which is all of this problems really stuck out while replaying the levels. Trying to complete the challenges encourages playing extremely passive and running away from.your enemies. You can get vrry good at the game and even beat yout bosses with next to no damage and still not complete your challenges cause you got hit by a banana while you were trying to beat up a random easy foot soldier. I get that they're "challenges" and not everyone can beat them, but it sometimes feels more like luck than skill. You cannot restar a lvl either. If you fail a challenge you have to go back to the map and re enter the lvl, which is tedious. Good thibg is that you can complete each challenge on a different run, but it's still annoying!
    I don't wanna be too harsh on this game. I'm loving and me and my sister had a lot of fun completing the story mode. I loved it so much that I want it to improve for the sequel they will probably announce after how good it's selling. I literally just made a metacritic account to recommend this game cause I can't review it on the Switch!    … Expand

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is a call back to a bygone era of games. This is very much a sequel to TMNT: Turtles in Time, but it also is leaning very, very heavily on nostalgia, pretty much running every single popular character and toy from the original series in the game as a boss or someone you have to rescue. Giving you the long-awaited ability to play as MasterTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is a call back to a bygone era of games. This is very much a sequel to TMNT: Turtles in Time, but it also is leaning very, very heavily on nostalgia, pretty much running every single popular character and toy from the original series in the game as a boss or someone you have to rescue. Giving you the long-awaited ability to play as Master Splinter, April O’Neill, and Casey Jones, this game has seven characters instead of four, and while it is a side-scrolling beat ’em up, there are some differences between the characters.

    Unfortunately, this game also shows why they don’t make these games anymore – this game took a lot of effort to make, and is nicely animated pixel art, but it’s only two and a half hours long. If you try and collect everything, it might take you another hour… but after that, it’s just grinding for some tedious achievements, which isn’t fun.

    The other problem is that beat ’em up gameplay remains very simplistic, and this game is no exception. The characters aren’t especially mobile, and while it reflects the design of the era, modern games are more fun to play and less awkward and stiff. This isn’t bad as far as beat ’em ups go – in fact, it’s a reasonably good example, though Turtles in Time felt like it had better variety – but the game is still very simple, and not really super fun to play. Being short is a saving grace as much as it is a drawback; if it was any longer, you’d get bored.

    Which is the biggest problem, really – it isn’t 1994 anymore. Back in the day, I remember enjoying these games, but today, they’re just too simple compared to modern game design. The game is quite easy even on the middle difficulty setting, but cranking the difficulty didn’t really make me any more enamored with it. The high difficulty older beat ’em ups were designed as quarter eaters; modern games don’t benefit from that, but it reveals just how little content there actually is.

    While it was kind of nostalgic seeing all these characters again, the voice acting wasn’t great and the only thing that made me laugh was the “twist” at the end.

    All in all, I can’t recommend this trip down memory lane unless you get it for free, like playing it on Game Pass or something. There, it is a reasonable thing, as you can taste it and see if you want to see it through, and even if you do, it won’t feel like it took a bite out of your wallet for such a short and mediocre experience.    … Expand

    Shredder's revenge is by no means a bad game, but it certainly isn't the best tmnt game ever made (as mentioned by many reviews here)! It is a mediocre entry into the series.

    Absolutely amazing experience to see and play. The characters are back in that '90s style beat'em up which reminds me a lot of Turtles in Time. Turtles in Time on SNES was amazing and STILL is. Shredder's Revenge revamps the experience back in the modern era and brings you back to playing Turtles in Time all over again.

    The Soundtrack is quite something, I've had to of heard it all the way through at least 10 times now equaling 10 hrs overall (roughly 1 hr).

    Highly recommend a purchase of Shredder's Revenge if you desire a classic Turtles experience in the modern era with a banging soundtrack and amazing fighting mechanics.

    The game insidiously use our nostalgia about such kind of beat em ups and a love to Ninja Turtles. There are good enough animation and music, but nothing more. We can see only really boring fight system, lame and similar bosses, except maybe two of them, no real differences among characters.

    A direct continuation of the Super Nes classic, this new episode evokes each easter egg to make every fan nostalgic. Despite being a game of easy assimilation, it definitely seeks to please the fan born between the 80's and 90's. A charm aside.

    The good old Beat'em Ups are coming back.

    TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is a very fun game, especially if, like me, you are a fan of the classic beat em up games from the 90s. It is safe to say it’s one of the best TMNT games, of course not that hard to achieve since it’s been quite a while. Some of the classics, like Turtles in Time or Hyperstone Heist, were also very good games, for    The good old Beat'em Ups are coming back.

    Some of the classics, like Turtles in Time or Hyperstone Heist, were also very good games, for their time, but they all had big issues when it comes to hit detection (I guess what we would call "hitbox detection" today), and this is mostly improved in Shredder’s Revenge, but it’s still not completely perfect, and we’re still going to get a few surprises here and there or unexpected hits coming from way off or position in the axis, and this is particularly evident in the hardest difficulty setting, where every hit we get hurts a lot.

    Continuing on the difficulty aspect, I think Normal is far so easy, whereas the next one available, which is called Gnarly, feels too punishing, and clearly the game was not properly balanced for this one, much.
    I feel the other great modern beat’em up game we got recently, Streets of Rage 4, manages difficulties quite a bit better, at least from Normal to Hard, and even going to Mania, you can feel the difficulty curve being smoother, so to speak, like there’s a much better "difficulty progression", if that makes any sense.

    That said, apart from that detail that could easily be tweaked and patched in the future, the game is pretty awesome and enjoyable.

    Performance wise, this game seems pretty easy to run and I encountered zero issues on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, which clearly is way more than enough PC a game like this needs, but I experienced zero frame drops or anything like that, it’s pretty much all the way.

    Moving on to the game’s Controls and how it feels in action, I think the improvement over the classic games is quite massive here: we have lots of different movements we can use, and none of them are particularly difficult to execute, they’re pretty simple and we have an interactive tutorial to learn all about these moves.

    The game offers six initial playable characters, and a seventh one unlocked after finishing the Story Mode, and that’s is a very nice amount of characters, compared to most beat’em up games, certainly, at least on release.

    The Graphics are nicely done and the UI is easily readable but, if anything, it would’ve been great to have some retro, CRT style, shaders available to use, as those would fit pretty well with the visual design in this game, even though the clean pixel design is quite well done as it is.

    The Music is absolutely amazing too, I can never get tired of it and just like in the old school games, the soundtrack is a crucial part of the experience when playing each level, and this game really delivers there, for sure.

    One final last flaw in the game though, the multiplayer has some cross-play related issues at the moment when it comes to Steam-Gamepass crossplay, in game it’s not currently possible to find online players other than those from the Epic Games version, no Steam or Gamepass players are shown currently, and it seems to be a known issue due to certain versions needing an update.
    Furthermore, it does seem that in order to connect with Gamepass players, both Steam and Gamepass owners need to link their…Epic Games accounts, then invite using the Epic UI in game, a bit…weird, but again the developers have mentioned that it does seem that the Gamepass version needs an update.

    All in all, this is another must have beat’em up, especially if you liked the classic games, or more recently Streets of Rage 4, this one is quite good too; SoR 4 still feels like the more complete and bigger game, clearly with higher budget, but TMTN: Shredder’s Revenge is a pretty solid and affordable game in the genre, and quite enjoyable to play.    … Expand

    I used to play TMNT on PlayStation 1, so this was hella nostalgic and brought back so many memories.
    The gameplay was good, the combat system, controls, characters' traits, and variety of enemies and locations was really good.

Other than episode 3 (which was skateboard level), other levels are pretty look alike and there's nothing new. Even boss fights were look alike! For a short game like this, I expected more detailed and unique levels.
    The other problem was Super Attacks were too OP. You could simply meditate and fill the super attack bar as many times as you wanted and finish levels without sweating!
    Attacking could be more complicated and unique rather than just simply pressing a key or two.
    As a conclusion, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge is extremely fun to play and worth playing, but I have to say that It has lots of unused potential and despite being short, it is repetitive.

    Хорошая игра для дедов, ностальгирующих по временам денди. Ну а в целом, это коротенький не особо разнообразный битемап с красивой пиксельной графикой и прикольной музыкой. Визуально, как уже было сказано, игра хоть и красива, но было бы намного лучше, если бы она не была пиксельной, а имела рисованную 2D-графику а-ля мультик, как в новой Streets of Rage. В общем, на разок пройти сойдёт.Хорошая игра для дедов, ностальгирующих по временам денди.

    Если посмотреть на последние тенденции игрового рынка, то можно заметить, что пиксельные проекты набирают все большую популярность. Не имею смелости говорить, что пиксельная графика должна остаться в прошлом. Это не так. Достаточно оглянуться на 360 и каждому это станет ясно.
    Но у всего хорошего всегда есть надоедливое "НО". И я снова о новых черепахах... У игры есть технические проблемы и пара проблем, связанны с геймплеем непосредственно. Недоработки? Думаю да! И без багов не обойдется. Но о них ниже.
    Первое: что встречает игрока, это, как не странно, меню игры, и его функционал относительно невелик. Я имею в виду функции системы сохранений. Бинд клавиш не всегда сохраняется, а слотов под сохранения режима истории попросту нет, и в своей специфики, игра доставляет этим неудобства.
    Второе: странное геймплейное решение - "механика насмешек". Это странно, потому что ломает сам "beat ‘em up" как включение в процесс. Выживание сводится к тому, чтобы в нужный момент успеть восполнить энергию супер удара одной кнопкой и следом его применить, снова и снова. Никакого временного отката способности нет. Вы можете просто бесконечно восполнять энергию, что позволит побить до 100% толп врагов на следующем участке, одной лишь супер атакой. Если вы играете в компании друзей, тогда о безопасности думать не нужно. Просто делайте это, пока друзья отвлекают противников на себя. Можно вообще не пользоваться стандартным набором атак. Не находите это странным?
    Третье: сетевые баги. Можно часто наблюдать, как в сетевой игре враги телепортируются с одного места на другое, или проигрывают анимацию, не соответствующую их действию. Иногда это генерирует серьёзные проблемы и приближает к проигрышу.
    Однако, пока бессмысленно ругать игру за ранние проблемы. Оценку я в любом случае занижу, но патча буду ждать с нетерпением. Теперь это одна из любимых моих игр.    … Expand

    My only real complaints are I wish the game was a bit longer. My hub and I completed it over the course of a couple nights. Lastly we did find a nasty crash bug while fighting Super Shredder. Other than these minor issues I absolutely loved this game. I plan to play through it again and again. We need more games like this where creators honor the essence of the property. Too often people try to "re-envision" things for a modern era and it almost never works. These guys did it right so all the kudos to them, from an old 80's fangirl.

    Besides the 6-player co-op mode, very little reminds us that this game debuted in 2022. Shredder’s Revenge lifts most of its ideas verbatim from the arcade classics, sprinkling some modern niceties and a handful of minor bugs. If you can recite the TMNT theme song by memory, this is definitely your game.
