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

    Like "Streets of Rage 4", this is a great nostalgic beat 'em up. It's a tribute to the classic Konami arcade games. But it also feels like a true sequel. You can play through the campaign in either Story or Arcade in solo mode or with up to five other players. Story includes a Super Mario Bros. 3-style map, challenges and collectibles.

    Homage to the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. A little bit of all the previous games.

    Unless you're playing this game with 2-4 people this game is too hard. Challenges are also impossible alone, like never get hit during a level, because the game sends enemies to you from all sides. After dying multiple times on "chill" difficulty i gave up. Not even Streets of Rage was this challenging on easy...

    A little bit simplistic, but lovely brawler made with love to the TMNT lore.

    Pros:
    + an animated opening
    + wonderful sprites
    + awesome soundtrack
    + lore used wisely, the game is also quite funny
    + coop

    Cons:
    - not much depth to inspire a second walkthrough

    A very enjoyable game in the style of old TMNT games from the 80s, which will be fun to play for 2 hours

    This game is perfect for any TMNT fun. Maybe it's too easy sometimes, maybe sometimes it's a bit too simple but... IT'S FUN AS HELL. More games like this pls.

    Arcade fun - great pixel art and soundtrack. As a fan of the original show I can tell this was a project of passion for those involved. Gameplay is pretty basic and with a full squad things are ridiculously chaotic. Can't say I would've dropped the £££ to buy this new so was pleased to play it on gamepass.

    Short, but great fun for boomers like me! Available in Game Pass, 2-3 hours of gameplay for 1 character, but why not finish it as all of them?!

    Surprisingly uninspiring graphically, with limited repetitive gameplay, but i could easily have forgiven those if not for the utterly useless matchmaking online - completely broken, unless you want to start from the very beginning every time.

    It was great for all 2-2.5 hours it took to beat. No replay value for me since my love of the classic retro arcade beat em ups is all but gone. However, this was a great nostalgic trip down memory lane of TMNT Arcade, TMNT 3, and Turtles in Time.

    Just nothing more for me here after I beat it solo. Glad I got it for only $1 on game pass trial. I would not have liked to have paid full

    This one brought back childhood memories. It's a bit short sadly, and some characters feel stronger than others.

    Brimming with love for TMNT and classic TMNT Beat 'em ups. Looks excellent. Amazing soundtrack. Each character is fun to play and feels different. Combat is accessible for newcomers but still has depth. Well designed and varied levels
    Bad- Hoverboard levels are more annoying than fun. Sloppy aerial combat. Barebones world map in story mode Thoughts- Ultimately, however,

    Ultimately, however, Shredder’s Revenge is a solid game, to say the very least. Whether you’re new to TMNT or to brawlers or experienced with one or both, whether you’re looking to play it solo or with five other players, whether you want to run through Arcade mode or tackle Story mode, there’s plenty to love here. This is a lovingly crafted and very well put together game that is not only an excellent and nostalgic callback to a bygone era, but also a great experience in its own right that modernizes very smartly in all the ways that it should.

    I don’t understand how this game gets a good rating?? It’s basically a polished version of an old arcade game. It kept me entertained for all of 5 minutes. Button mashing

    "You're supposed to save me! You save me with pizza!" - little girl

    I played this with my 5-year-old niece who loves turtles and fighting bad guys. Perfect upbeat game. The easy "chill" difficulty was gentle enough for her to get the hang of the controls. The production values are top tier. Music, graphics, and gameplay are all outstanding.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. É um jogo de beat 'em up que cumpre muito bem o seu papel, pode agradar tanto os saudosistas quando novos jogadores. O gameplay com cada um dos personagens é ligeiramente diferente, e há itens e missões secretas a serem explorados nos diferentes modos do jogo.

    Gostaria de dar um 9.5 por conta de algumas falhas que encontrei mas que não tiram o mérito do game:
    1) A conexão no modo multiplayer online é inconsistente. Ao jogar um cooperativo online com 4 a 6 amigos, no início de cada fase alguns podiam cair, e tinham que ficar voltando e reconectando pra entrar novamente na partida.
    2) Esse é o mais grave: o habilidade de provocação enche uma barra de especial. Para 1 ou 2 jogadores não causa tanto problemas, mas num multiplayser com muitos jogadores isso vira um exploit que pode ser abusado e o grupo se tornar uma máquina de usar especiais, tirando MUITO da graça e do desafio do jogo. Isso precisa ser nerfado!

    Gameplay efficace, simple et nerveux, franchement il touche la perfection.
    Alors pourquoi pas 10 comme note ?
    Je lui reprocherais peut être un manque de verticalité dans les niveaux, ou d'embranchements. Les objets cachés auraient mérités d'être bien plus "cachés", et ça mériterait des passages secrets ou autres. Peut être qu'ils existent que je ne les ai pas repéré, on verra avec le temps...

    Just an outstanding side-scrolling beat 'em up. Probably the best since Streets of Rage 4. The 6 player co-op is complete madness, and obviously you can play this game as part of your game pass subscription. No reason to not give it a try. Shredder's Revenge is the true sequel to Turtles in Time and the game has more bosses and challenges than ever before.

    Although it hits all the right nostalgia beats I haven’t been able to finish a single online multiplayer session of this on Xbox Series X without encountering the invisible characters bug, the disappearing boss bug, game freezing, or players crashing between levels. It’s happened in private, invite only, groups and in public random matchmaking.

    Since coop is the primary draw, these bugs

It’s happened in private, invite only, groups and in public random matchmaking.

    Since coop is the primary draw, these bugs are inexcusable and until they’re fixed I can’t personally rate the game any higher than a 6/10. Fix these gamebreaking bugs and it would be a 8/10. Solo and local coop, easily an 8/10. But online needs patching. The amount of bugs is downright embarrassing.

    The game needs some visual filters like scan lines or CRT emulation because the pixel art on larger screens is really jarring. The overall difficulty is quite easy even on its hardest level, which is a slight disappointment given its arcade, quarter-munching, pedigree. Also, the taunt mechanic to build up ninja power is easily exploitable and really annoying when you join a public game and all the players keep spamming taunt in between EACH encounter.

    Shredder's Revenge is a game that makes a true hommage to its roots. Everything is recognisable from the Turtles movies to the previous games. It also is a very good brawler, but not the perfect puzzle unfortunately. The game is somewhat short and it tends to get chaotic if you play together. Still, if you like Turtles this is a must play.

    The game isn’t just a nostalgia-driven throwback, as it also marks the evolution of a genre.

    If you’re looking for a great game to spend your summer with, look no further than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Dotemu and Tribute Game have knocked one out of the park with this return to the days of 80's and 90's beat ‘em-ups, and have done so in spectacular fashion. Thus, this title will surely be in the running for Game of the Year.
