Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Review - IGN
Growing up as a child of the 90s, whenever I stepped into an arcade, I’d always do a walk around to see what they had before putting my quarters into any machines. This usually didn’t last very long because as soon as I saw a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cabinet, I’d shout to my friends “They got Turtles!” and we’d rush on over.
It’s abundantly clear that the developers at Tribute Games share a similar love for the 90s TMNT beat-em-ups. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is nothing but unwaveringly reverent to the classic 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade game, and more prominently, 1991’s Turtles in Time. Best of all, it transforms the arcadey quarter-munching design of combat into something much more skill forward while still maintaining the same button mashy appeal. Put simply, Shredder’s Revenge is a prime example of how to breathe new life into a classic arcade beat-em-up.
- Tribute Games and publisher Dotemu launched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge on 16 June 2022 for PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC (Steam), announced 9 June 2022[3][4]
- IGN's review (Mitchell Saltzman) scores it 8 (great), saying it "more than lives up to the legacy" of the arcade games[1]
- Arcade mode can be finished in about two hours with no checkpoints; the design plays safe and feels "samey"[1]
Notable features
- Shredder's Revenge is a side-scrolling beat 'em up with seven playable characters: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, April O'Neil, Master Splinter and unlockable Casey Jones, each with its own range, speed and power, super moves and taunts[2]
- The brawler is reverent to the 1989 TMNT arcade game and 1991's Turtles in Time, with pixel art inspired by the 1987 TV show[1][3]
- Additions include dodge rolls, chargeable attacks and a super-attack meter; the review counts 16 levels and a soundtrack with remixes[1]
- Arcade Mode gives limited lives and must be finished in one sitting; Story Mode trades points for health, extra lives, moves and a temporary Radical Mode, with side content, challenges and collectibles per stage[2]
- Co-op is described as up to six players online in IGN's review and Gematsu, while the Steam text and PSU cite up to four players simultaneously[1][3][4]
