Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate Reviews
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.
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.

For fans of this type of game and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themselves, Splintered Fate does the job admirably and doesn't skimp on development of the characters, providing a faithful love letter to the franchise. Stay calm, take it step by step, and have a quick bash whenever the mood takes you to ensure a fun and long-lasting experience. Bossa Nova!
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. 🍕
Splintered Fate is inspired by one of the best games of all time, so coming up short was always in the cards. I think a sequel that provide truly unique runs with more variety in the environment is a must. I like the idea of what the perks and abilities offer, making you stronger, but when you are fighting the same enemies in the same locations, it’s hard to get that excited for the next run. The TMNT have a wide catalog of some pretty mediocre games and just plain awful titles and thankfully, Splintered Fate is not one of them.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate may not be the most original roguelike out there, but I had a blast playing it and would easily say it's one of the best TMNT games yet.
If you're a cowabunga and you've got company to join the battle to save Master Splinter, don't underestimate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate under any circumstances

eenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is more like a temporary short solution for those who find themselves "orphaned" by their favorite roguelike, like Dead Cells or Hades, and is a fan of the Ninja Turtles. There's no secret here: you'll pick a character and do a quick complete run many times until you get tired and depart for a bigger challenge or leave the game behind altogether. There aren't many incentives besides controlling Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo in fights against iconic villains, so don't expect anything grand or you will be disappointed.

The turtles might be stuck in a time loop, but Splintered Fate’s smooth combat, availability of multiple playstyles, and snappy presentation make sure it’s an entertaining, if somewhat bumpy, ride.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is easily my favorite TMNT game in recent years, standing side by side with the mighty Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Roguelikes aren’t for everyone by their very nature. Not everyone likes to lose and start again, but if you can look past that and embrace it, you’ll find a constantly rewarding challenge worthy of the moniker of master.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate comes to us from Super Evil Megacorp after its time at Apple Arcade and presents us with an action game with isometric views and roguelike mechanics that is undoubtedly "inspired" by the magnificent Hades. Splintered Fate is not as complete a title as the one from Supergiant Games but it adds new elements such as character selection or online and local multiplayer modes. Ninja Turtles fans will definitely enjoy it.

Splintered Fate is a great Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles roguelike that possibly sticks a little too closely to the template set by one of the genre's finest. And yet, as I played through run after run with a co-op partner, I didn't care one bit.
