Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge feels like it's designed from an Ninja Turtles arcade beat 'em up template, which strips it of creativity and originality and makes it feel predictable and familiar. But the fluid combat continually sucks me back in, even though that also suffers from combat designs that should've been left in the past.

A lovingly crafted retro homage, made with skill and obvious affection for the source material – but there's very little attempt at innovation and little to interest non-fans playing on their own.

Shredder's Revenge could be many things: it could be a beat 'em up capable of modernizing the genre, a tribute to the past of the series or a party game caciarone.

DotEmu and Tribute Games offer us a very beautiful passionate legacy of our youth in the company of the four turtles.

Solid and definitely have an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge retains the original style of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games to the greatest extent possible, but also makes many new improvements in line with the times. Its retro-style levels have many interesting classic elements, the combat system has been largely renovated, and the online co-play system also has some original designs. However, some of the levels have some problems that affect the experience, the BOSS battle has few highlights, making it a relatively mediocre gameplay experience, and also difficult to bring a sufficient sense of achievement.

This heartfelt, engaging reprise of a classic falls just shy of greatness due to a lack of fresh ideas and endurance.

Overall, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is a fun game that accomplishes what it sets out to do. If I am being honest though, the gameplay can get a bit boring if you play it alone. It is best played with a buddy or a group of good friends.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a very memorable action game, but it doesn't mean much to a new audience.

‎Shredder's Revenge is therefore a game that with its many nods to the past is mainly intended for the fan and feels almost perfect for them. The game has everything from nostalgia to good, new additions. The game misses the finishing touches here and there, but the biggest problem is the chaos that arises in multiplayer and a few missed opportunities. At the bottom of the line, this is a game that is entertaining for everyone, but will not be equally special for everyone.‎

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge feels like a time capsule. You can tell going into it that the people at Tribute Games deeply respected the source material. They did their research, both in terms of watching the show and playing past titles.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge offers quality brawling with some retro touches. Its biggest highlight is the agile and accessible gameplay that allows you to create impressive combos, and the variety of moves and enemies brings diversity to combat. In addition, multiplayer for up to six players is frenetic and chaotic, making it a great option to enjoy with friends. The new Turtles adventure is heavily inspired by the past and even modernizes some concepts. However, the title is too conservative – which is a shame, as other current beat 'em ups have already proven that it is possible to innovate. In any case, the nostalgic ambiance with elaborate pixel art visuals and the uncomplicated action are enough reasons to check out the game.

Thanks to its many playable characters, multiple modes, addictive action, fetching graphics, and support for up to six players both online and offline, it's arguably the best brawler in the expansive Turtles canon.

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge still hits that slightly lowered target quite well because it is able to effectively channel its nostalgia and become more than a shallow remix that solely leans on fan service. It is the antithesis of 2009’s oft-forgotten TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, a game that just slapped new paint on the old Party Wagon and failed to fix its rusted engine.

Shredder's Revenge is one amazing experience for the fans of both TMNT and Beat 'em Up genre, and even though it has its own share of flaws, the aforementioned fans will love it anyway.

Despite the lack of content and unlockable stuff, Shredder's Revenge is more than worth it to play it. The story mode is great, and you'll probably want to spend a couple of evenings in the Arcade mode too.

A great experience that succeeds in evoking the best aspects of TMNT classic games while throwing in a new idea or two.

Even as a shorter game and with limited character leveling, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is arguably the best beat-em-up and TMNT experience ages. If you have a buddy or several to tackle the forces of foot clan evil with, jump on this one.

As a fan of the original arcade coin-suckers, I can say that Shredder’s Revenge hits the right notes in all departments. However, modern gamers who didn’t grow up with cartridges that needed a good blow and a bang might find the admittedly simple and one-direction gameplay a bit too basic. Basically, if you’ve used a VHS player in real life, you’ll get what Shredder’s Revenge is all about. If you’ve never touched a floppy disk, you might get bored of button bashing by Episode 6.

If you love the franchise as much as we do, then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a great pick-up. An stylish tribute to the series and Turtles in Time, but also an excellent beat'em'all with a delighful soundtrack and a marvelous pixel-art. It's pizza time !
