Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate Reviews
Splintered Fate transparently aims to munch your time. All of its combat and replayability ideas give the appearance of a sturdy shell, yet the cracks in its execution undermine what is otherwise a lovingly crafted representation of the TMNT.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate incorporates traditional roguelike gameplay in way that should familiar for most roguelike players. It just does so in a convoluted fashion. While I appreciate its attempts to fully immerse players in the world of TMNT, the story beats needed to be more frequent and fully realized to hit the emotional highs and lows associated with the series' deep universe. Its couch co-op should be praised, however, as this is best played with friends.
TMNT: Splintered Fate is not only a finely crafted roguelike, it's also one of the best takes on the franchise in recent memory and an instant contender for its best video game.
A fun coop roguelike best played with a slice of pizza.
TMNT: Splintered Fate looks and feels like a mobile games with lots of structural limitations and a bit of forced tracking during the fights.

In the end, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate takes the familiarity of Hades and gives it a more familiar skin. The gameplay differences between the brothers provides an incentive to try all four characters instead of sticking to a favorite. The slightly lower difficulty means that upgrading your crew is faster than expected. Considering the large number of roguelikes on the PC, multiplayer - even though it's imperfect - gives this title a leg up on the competition.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is the crossover game that you never knew you wanted. Ninja Turtles mixed with Hades is a great combination that is fun solo or with friends!
Much like the Darksiders games, Splintered Fate may be borrowing elements from other games, but it has its own identity. It's absolutely worth a shot, especially if you have the ability to play multiplayer regularly. It's good to see the Turtles in a game that's not ostensibly a brawler, and I was surprised by how well they took to the roguelite genre.
The developers of the new TMNT games took a lot of ideas from the creators of the indie hit Hades and come up with a really fun game with great co-op, but lacking in original ideas.

I had an entertaining time with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate. If you plan on playing it cooperatively then you'll have a blast but either way, its repetition will sink in eventually so keep that in mind before entering the sewers. 🍕

We have a roguelike with solid foundations, which delivers what is expected of the genre along with fluid and fun gameplay for up to four players. In addition, the variety of turtle abilities and upgrades give a good variation to the formula, allowing the use of several builds so that no player can find fault.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate succeeds in delivering nostalgic and replayable TMNT action, featuring simple roguelite elements that don't get in the way of the game's arcade feel.
The roguelike action gameplay and unique character abilities provide depth, while the fast-paced combat and mini-boss encounters keep players on their toes. However, the game has some drawbacks, including control limitations, repetition, and unclear multiplayer progress. Despite these issues, the game offers a satisfying experience with continuous unlocks and a variety of enemy types, making it a worthwhile addition.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a fun co-op roguelike; however, it shows the limitations of a straight mobile port and could use some work, both on the depth of its content and its controls.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a great roguelike that takes full advantage of both the popular genre trappings and the massive franchise it’s based on. Outside of runs becoming a bit repetitive over time, the game is a fantastic combination of two excellent ideas that fans ought to check out.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is an enjoyable and accessible roguelike that caters to both fans of the genre and TMNT fanatics. It doesn’t break new ground with its simple yet effective roguelike mechanics (and its VERY clear where its inspirations lie), but it still offers plenty of fun with its satisfying combat, deep character variety, and co-op multiplayer action. If you’re looking for an in-depth roguelike with intricate progression or complex gameplay mechanics, Splintered Fate might be a bit too simple. But if you’re a TMNT fan seeking an action-packed and addictive game that’s packed with shell-tastic charm, this will definitely tick a lot of the right boxes for you.
