    Best beat and up today, the best ninja turtles game of the last decades too. Gameplay, graphics, art direction and replay factor = 10. So far nine playable characters, story mode and arcade mode with Coop for up to six players. Ultimate turtles. I hope the game has more DLCs.

    A wonderful little game with which you can relax after a working day. It is also well suited for passing with friends.

    Una gran vuelta a este tipo de juegos y a las tortugas ninja, gran experiencia cooperativa. Nada como comprar una pizza y jugar a las Tortugas Ninja.

    A great fun game. It's extra fun if you have four friends to play with. We had such a great time playing it and the mechanics were also great. But it was too short, that's why I give it an 8. But everyone should play it, eventually.

    It is so fun! The best part is playing with other players as team! It immediately brought back my childhood memory of playing the TMNT games when I was young.

    Pros.:
    - Design.
    - Music.
    - Characters.
    - Overall wrap-up style and nostalgia.

    Cons.:
    - Even on middle difficulty a bit easy. Especially some bosses at the end.
    - Could add more about the story.

    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.

    All the enemies & boss designs are amazing and bring each of their own unique challenges.

    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.

    Nostalgic fun, TMNT has been a childhood staple but for decades they didn't make good games, but with this title they return to roots. although the story and presentation is more goofy rather than fierce which i liked in past, they make up for that by engaging gameplay excellent!

    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.

    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 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

    The game is great, but 8 out of 10 because it's too short. Why are so few levels created? Will there be more or is that all?

    This game kicks shell. The pixel art, the fighting, the music, the online, crossplay, and local multiplayer,
    is just amazing. If you haven't played this game yet, go play with friends. You're going to have a fun time.

    Я отлично провел время играя в эту игру. Это концентрация весёлых и смелых решений! Не смотря на то, что игра является переосмыслением старых игр про черепах 80-х годов, она смотрится как полноценный, современный проект. И я не шучу.
    Если посмотреть на последние тенденции игрового рынка, то можно заметить, что пиксельные проекты набирают все большую популярность. Не имею смелости    Я отлично провел время играя в эту игру.

    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

    Sometimes you really don't have to reinvent the wheel. Just give us fun from fighting with hosts of enemies, fill levels with collectibles and add some retro style to it. And this game proves that sometimes you don't need more to have a great game. Cowabunga!

    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. This game was like water for a dried out soul.    … Expand

    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.

    I will give this game 9.5 out of 10 in the beat them up genre.

    Pros: Exceptionally art style. Designing a simple and stand-out character is very hard, especially since you need to keep it aligned with existing art. Extremely good sound track. Very good hit feedback. Plenty of moves to use. Good pacing for each level. Good length. Not every damn game need to play 100 hrs to finish    I will give this game 9.5 out of 10 in the beat them up genre.

    Good reliability. Do you want to try something diff? You can. You want to drop the game, you can!
    Good mode selection, story and arcarde, there could be more mode, like rouge surviver. But with the offering, can't complain.
    Good and simple character progression system.
    Extreme good point, supports up to six player local and online play together. Is it very chaos? Yes, is it fun, damn that's right!

    Con:
    Latency, loss of connection is an issue.
    Combo is a little stiff.    … Expand

    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

    Shredder’s Revenge is one big nostalgia trip that doesn’t even try to do something more – like offering actually good and nuanced beat’em up experience, for example. [Issue#260, p.52]

    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.

    TMNT: Shredder's Revenge is a fantastic love letter to the Turtles' arcade and SNES classics from the 90s. The introduction of modern gameplay elements makes this a reinvigorated take on the classic genre that expertly balances contemporary expectations with nostalgia.
