This has all the charm of the base game, but with a challenging new stand-alone mode that adds quality and value. The opening challenge won't be for everyone and those early runs can be pretty unforgiving, but once you see those unlocks rolling in and with an upgrade or two under your belt, you'll soon wonder why a Turtles roguelike hasn't been on your wishlist from the very beginning. With these added bells and whistles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is still totally tubular, dude.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge: Dimensional Shellshock is an interesting addition that provides a new Survival Mode to the core game. However, it provides you with fun access to play with your bosses of the game and a fun upgrade system utilizing crystals. Its difficulty holds it back, and it feels like it was designed specifically with the most hardcore audience in mind. Adding two new characters doesn't add enough to the core game to warrant a purchase.

Story Mode and Arcade Mode are fun enough, yes. It’s cool seeing the parade of classic stages and scenes, it’s cool fighting all the old enemies. And I love the music and visuals. It all comes together to make a delightful Turtles experience. But Survival Mode is the first time I’ve felt properly compelled to keep playing. It’s deeply frustrating at times, but not in a discouraging way. I want to get better! I want to improve my last run, I want to power up all the characters. If Shredder’s Revenge felt light, then Dimension Shellshock adds significant weight. I highly recommend picking up this DLC.

TMNT: SR is the game that keeps on giving. They've given us free updates, and now the first paid DLC. If this trend holds, and they keep adding characters and modes, this could become the greatest arcade game of all time. You get to unlock more stuff for nine characters. Do you deserve this goodness? No. Should you get it? Shell Yeah.

We are facing a DLC that continues to bathe in the charm of the base game and in turn adds quality and a totally renewed challenge that will take time to master, but that knows how to conquer the hearts of the players blow by blow, pizza by pizza. The only disturbing thing is not knowing if we will have more additional content in the future, but for the moment, what arrived is more than enough. Cowabunga!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge – Dimension Shellshock is seated in the halfway point between good and great. On one hand, the Survival mode is better served for parties wanting a good challenge. On the other, TMNT fans should be excited about additional characters for replaying the already fantastic beat-em-up. If you're looking to replay the single player experience with two new characters or a challenge for yourself and your friends, then Dimension Shellshock is a no brainer.

Dimension Shellshock isn't great on its own, but it does make an already great game even better. If you've been looking for a reason to boot up Shredder's Revenge, this is it.

Accustomed as we are to hasty additional content, Dimension Shellshock is on the contrary a surprisingly curated and deep DLC for the already excellent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. The new characters have fun and peculiar movesets, while the Survival mode will delight those looking for a new challenge that was missing from the original offer of Tribute Games and Dotemu. Difficult not to throw yourself headlong into this DLC for those who appreciated the original game, even in the face of a much more than affordable price and what is proposed.

If you have any love for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, the Dimension Shellshock DLC should be considered essential. It’s as simple as that. Both characters included here are wonderful to take control of and bring yet more variety to the game, and Survival mode adds a fun and lasting challenge in which no two runs are ever exactly the same. Ultimately, it makes a brilliant game even better. What more could you ask for?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Dimension Shellshock DLC is a well-thought-out piece of DLC. The roguelike nature of the survival mode is neat thanks to the various backdrops that are rendered in the modern pixel style and the various powers that tweak the combat for the better. The bonus characters are awesome to play, as they complement the roster without feeling overpowered as their stats would suggest. For those wanting to return to the game after a year or playing it for the first time, the Dimension Shellshock DLC is worth adding to the game experience.

A fantastic addition that gives an excellent reason to revisit this great beat 'em up. The difficulty is definitely a challenge, but for fans, this is a no-brainer!

Dimension Shellshock is a beautiful DLC for TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, which gives new life to one of the most successful titles of last year. Players may encounter a higher difficulty level than the main game, but the challenge is interesting enough to return to the world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge: Dimension Shellshock is a DLC that provides a small-scale addition to the game. Not everyone will see the value of this. Nevertheless, it is entertaining.

Dimension Shellshock is far from bad, but lacks ambition. The new characters navigate familiar territory, but still demonstrate some welcome differences from the original set. Survival mode is certainly a welcome addition, but quickly becomes tiresomely repetitive. In the end, the novelty wears off quickly. Dimension Shellshock is perfect for mega-fans of Shredder's Revenge, but not the missing argument for those reluctant to take the plunge into the sewers of New York.

Asagi and Karai steal the show in “Dimension Shellshock”. The roguelite survival mode is a nice addition but lacks enemy variety and more interesting power-ups. Nevertheless, it’s a great addition to an already excellent game, especially with friends.

TMNT: Shredder's Revenge - Dimension Shellshock manages to perfectly capture an elusive essence that was lost in 1993. The one that dozens of other games tried to recreate without success. Working together with Dotemu paid off, delivering not only one of the best entries in the series, but the definitive Ninja Turtles videogame.
