Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants Reviews
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants isn't bad. The fighting system is quite good, and the additional stages and bosses do a good job of lengthening a very short game. It's fun, and those who were lucky enough to discover the arcade game will be pleased with this port. Those wanting to take the plunge into the title might want to hold off for a bit, unless you can find the title at a discount. The $30 sticker price for such a short experience can be off-putting, especially with only one mode available.
In a world where the Switch is filthy with TMNT arcade games across the Cowabunga Collection and Shredder's Revenge, Wrath of the Mutants is a distant third place. It's fine in the sense that if you get three buddies to play through it with you, you'll probably have a good time. But beyond that camaraderie, this is a middling port of an okay game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is a fun arcade experience for home with up to four players, but it is very short!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants takes inspiration from one of the genre's greatest classics, but fails to attempt to modernize the experience with its shallow gameplay and presentation. The result is a weak and repetitive game, even with its short duration.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants provides simple beat 'em up entertainment that can be kind of fun for a couchful of chums. However, its middling nature certainly leaves a lot to be desired. đ
Overall, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is a fun and enjoyable, albeit very short experience. Its budget price appeal makes it very tempting; given the length of it, it feels right. Kids and Nickelodeon fans will enjoy the hell out of this and itâs even better with friends. However, while itâs fun, it is very limited in appeal and repetitive in combat. In a world where we already have the excellent Shredderâs Revenge, itâs hard recommending this one as for a few bucks more, you get a longer experience and more playable characters. Unless youâre a die hard TMNT fan who needs to play everything or have kids at home, you canât go wrong with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants. But if youâre looking for something more substantial, this ainât it chief

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants excels in simplicity, and not everyone can appreciate that. This game comes from Nickelodeon, and that means that here is a Turtles game for kids.

They each have their own âTurtle Powerâ which players can initiate anytime the meter is full to clear out the enemies on screen or deliver extra damage to the bosses. Leonardo creates a tornado, Raphael punches the ground causing an earthquake, Donatello channels his inner Thor and shoots lightning from his staff and Michelangelo throws pizza everywhere. Even though three of those make absolutely no sense with the characterâs personalities and backgrounds, the Turtle Power is still a really handy tool for when things get tough.
Although it isnât as good as the more memorable Shredderâs Revenge, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants has just about managed to become a fun experience that pretty much requires that you play with at least a friend to get the ultimate experience. Itâs been long overdue, so itâs good that this has finally made it to consoles and PC. And although itâs only local, Iâd still recommend this to other players, even if they plan on playing this game on the side to take a little break from playing the much higher profile titles.
Unfortunately, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants offers an experience far below expectations for a Ninja Turtles beat 'em up. The visual identity based on a more ârecentâ animation, even though there are already newer ones at the moment, could have been a great element, but the bland and uninteresting set ended up affecting what could be another great group game.

My only real concern was the length of the game as with six levels of play; the game can be completed in a short time as most levels only take 15-30 minutes at most for players to complete.
There is no need to get Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants unless you really like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or you are one of the very small batch of people who enjoyed this game on the arcade and wanted to play in your own home for some reason.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is not a bad game at all if it is aimed at a younger audience who will likely value the direct and uncomplicated fun of the Raw Thrills title more than the lack of depth and content that the game offers us. This is a classic beat 'em up that if we are fans of the 2012 Nickelodeon series we can enjoy it despite its limitations.

Thereâs nothing actually inherently wrong or bad with Wrath of the Mutants in terms of mechanics and combat. Itâs a serviceable scrolling beat âem up that brilliantly pays homage to the TV show itâs based on. I guess the âissueâ is, that itâs not great either. Itâs just ok. Itâs just that âbeing okâ really stands out at a time when scrolling beat âem ups are experiencing a renaissance with games releasing in the genre that stand toe to toe with classics of the past. Wrath of the Mutants does not.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants expands on the 2017 arcade game but itâs simple and safe style and lack of replayability leave this brawler best left in the past.
If you find yourself itching for some more Turtle beat-em up content after exhausting everything from Shredderâs Revenge and the Cowabunga Collection, Wrath of the Mutants provides a brief serving thatâs simply more flashy and less fun.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants can be fun, but itâs a bit too simple and short to stand out for anyone other than fans of the series. The side-scrolling brawling gameplay is simplistic and doesnât bring with it any fresh ideas, whilst the unbalanced difficulty feels like its designed to drain your health as opposed to offer a satisfying sense of challenge to the player. Thereâs some fun to be had if you can get four players together and thereâs no doubting that a younger audience might appreciate the simplicity of the gameplay more, but for everyone else, itâs hard to recommend Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants when there are so many better releases available in the genre.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is a game that fails to capture the magic of its source material. Itâs a repetitive slog that offers little in the way of entertainment value. Someone explain to me why there charging $40 for this âŠ. Cowabunga? More like Cowabung-NO.
