    This is a must’ve buy for TMNT fans , and those that like the classic series .. this game pays respect to the TMNT titles of old and does a fantastic job at honoring and staying true to the series .. a great game especially for the price . With a large amount of characters and good amount of levels and variety of different difficulty options, and modes to choose from

It’s the perfect blend of staying loyal to its retro roots while implementing subtle modern improvements. It’s such an honest homage to the classic side scrolling Ninja Turtles beat ‘em ups from the NES and SNES era to which it really feels like this was actually the next Turtles game that should have released after Turtles In Time. The graphics are amazing. Very gorgeous highly polished sprites that stay true to the roots without any unnecessary forcing of modern flashy effects. Same goes with the music, for the most part it sounds like it is exceptionally crafted music from the SNES era. There’s even some licensed music that fits surprisingly well. Every part of the presentation of this game is so well executed that someone could easily mistake this for a 25 year old game, and I mean that as a compliment. The maps are all extremely well designed, and many of them give nods to levels from old Turtles games.

    The gameplay is super tight, and does an awesome job of balancing the difficulty for all players. New players can easily pick it up and make it by with button mashing, and experienced players can appreciate the subtle level of complexity to the move sets. Initially I was disappointed in the length of the game - you can easily beat it in 2-3 hours, but the game is designed for you to replay the levels. Each level has challenges and secrets, and while they’re not the most exciting, it does give you more reason to keep playing. Also, there is an extremely seamless drop in and out system for online multiplayer, and it’s genuinely fun playing with random people. With all things considered, the $25 price tag is perfect for the content in this game. Especially considering that you are paying for such a genuine TMNT experience, even down to the carefully designed opening video that insanely so close to the cartoon. I don’t score games as 10 often. But for what this game set out to be, with what it is priced to be, and the amount of additional content added into the game, it truly excels at everything that it set out to do. This is how fan service games should be. With consideration of what it was trying to do, it’s a perfect game. Easily the best of all time in the beat ‘em ups genre.    … Expand

    Woof! I definiely remember the classic TMNT games. This is a great throwback. However, I will say this; the interests of the gaming industry have changed, even for the elder fans.

    It's quite telling that I've never really been a fan of the Ninja Turtles franchise and still had an absolute blast playing this game. Hats off to DotEmu and Tribute Games for making one of the finest beat-em-ups in its class.

    Loving this game and worth the wait. It just nails the whole look and vibe of the Konami coin-ops and raises the bar in every respect. For any belt action fan this is essential and if you like party games it's also a total blast.

    Shredder's Revenge delivers what it sets out to do exceptionally well. It's a fun, addicting 16-bit throwback to old school retro beat 'em ups, perhaps the very best to do so since that very era ended.

There is just an insane amount of replay value with numerous challenges to do and collectibles to find in each stage. I do prefer to play with only one or two other players but the fact that this game has up to 6 player co-op is honestly quite impressive. One thing is for sure: this is a must play for beat 'em up fans or TMNT fans, and especially an essential title for both.… Expand

    Turtles In Time on SNES was the bomb back in the day.
    This retro fueled beat em up scroller keeps the controlls, moves and fx to the most faithfull preservance i have seen in a recreation.
    I was being dropped straight into the boys room back in the early 90´s again.
    What a blast..

    This is a perfectly executed game, its nails its art, presentation, sound, and level design. It feels like the best version of the classic beat em up gameplay and it might be the best example of the genre ever made. Its an instaclassic. I hope they make more of them.

    - The Taunt + Special power "unlimited exploit" broke the offline game. It makes the game awfully easy and also really, really annoying online because players taunt everytime hindering the game, annoying due to sound effects and ending the "beat´em up" part - it's just a special move spamming session online. Make it limited or whatever possible to fix this.

    - Please give us a way to remove idle players. They "hold" the screen and the game gets unplayable. Disconnect them after a while idle, give us a move where we can toss them, I dont know. When it's not the bugs ruining the game, it's the idle players.

    - The pizza on the 5th stage needs a shadow or an indicator, it's impossible to know where it is. Or make it fly WITH the screen so we can get it.

    - A minor thing: Please make the "hot to play" screen disabling possible on options. Yes it's skippable, but it's annoying.

    The game is good, but broken right now. Please work on it.    … Expand

    A perfect old school beat-em-up. Made with oodles of love, hopping into this game to rumble with randos whenever I have a spare 10-15 mintues is going to be my happy place for the next few years. It's that good.

Este beat em up me ha gustado muchísimo tanto por la genial jugabilidad, los gráficos tan cuidados y sobre todo la banda sonora. La jugabilidad, aunque no cambia mucho entre cada personaje, una de las pegas de este juego, es tremendamente entretenida y divertida. Yo he jugado la historia con otras dos personas, lo que ha multiplicado la emoción y la locura al jugarlo, por lo que lo recomiendo jugar en multijugador sin duda. El diseño artístico y estilo pixelart me parece fantástico y extremadamente cuidada, tanto en detalles como animaciones. Y para mí, la banda sonora es lo que más destacados en el conjunto, siendo sobresaliente y muy pegadiza. La historia no es muy destacable pero al menos es concluyente y entretenida. También debo destacar los efectos de sonido, más que notables. En cuanto a modos de juego, está la historia y la aventura, echando en falta algún modo más. A este punto añado los coleccionables, que creo que se podrían haber diseñado mejor o dar algún incentivo para conseguirlos, que se incluyesen mejor en la progresión del personaje. Como conclusión, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge es uno de los mejores beat em up de los últimos años y es altamente recomendable para jugar en multijugador. 8,6/10

    As simple as I can put it. If you are into the arcade cabinets for the original turtles this is your game. May not be for someone who missed turtles in time or isn't very much into TMNT. However, it checks all the boxes for me.

    If you were a kid during the 90s probably you will love this game. Finally I can finish this thing without ask my mother for more money for buying credits. Best soundtrack of the year so far. If you don't like Mutants over Broadway and Panic in the Sky you don't have a soul. It plays exactly as it supposed to play. Fun above the rest. Great game.

    In this brand-new adventure, you step into the shoes of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael or Michelangelo, sensei Splinter or reporter April O'Neil and must save the world from the main villain Shredder. You do this entirely in the style of the beat 'em ups of yesteryear. It is a brawling game with wonderfully pixelated retro graphics and a pumping soundtrack, in which just about all the locations, characters and enemies of the past pass by in rapid succession.
