Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate Reviews
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate brings a new way of playing to fans of the green, teen heroes. The story, visuals, and gameplay are all great, though a few bugs hamper the experience. The simple roguelike elements won’t be too jarring for fans of the typical side-scrolling style of gameplay.
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.
Roguelikes. I've never been particularly keen on them, and few games have managed to change my mind. Hades and Dead Cells I enjoyed, but I'...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a cool roguelike that may stand on its own within the legacy of the brand. While it does its homework for what the Turtles are, Splintered Fate delivers a challenging step for a roguelike whether it's solo or even with others. If Hades is your stitch, the turtle boys new foray might be something to definitely check out.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate comes to PlayStation, bringing this noble attempt at a Turtles roguelike to a new audience. It may borrow from Hades but Super Evil Megacorp has the foundation for a riotous time with friends wanting to beat up the Foot Clan.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate doesn't have new tricks up its sleeve for the PS5 release, but it remains a must-play experience for TMNT fans.
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.

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. 🍕
In the first run, the game is slow, and if you're not into the Ninja Turtles universe, it's an uphill battle.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate marks a bold shift toward the roguelite genre, offering enjoyable moments—especially in co-op play. However, it stumbles due to repetitive level design and a lack of depth in progression. It's worth trying for TMNT fans, but it may not satisfy those looking for a constantly evolving challenge.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a good action game in the roguelike style, with a lovely aesthetic that's "respectful" of the comic book tradition, as well as overall solid and fun gameplay. The co-op mode adds several levels of fun and strategy to the game, which, however, suffers from the classic problems of (almost) all titles in the genre: irremediable and irreversible repetitiveness. That said, at a very affordable price, the game could prove to be an unexpectedly valuable time-killer, especially if you have a friend to play it with.

TMNT Splintered Fate also in PS5 version turns out to be a good roguelike in Ninja Turtles style, and also among the most successful of recent years if you think about games about turtles. It is not a game for those who want to experience an exciting story, but it is mainly aimed at those looking for a satisfying gameplay experience with the possibility of playing in multiplayer, both locally and in co-op.

It happened, it finally happened! It's been too long since I've enjoyed a good TMNT game but I am so happy to say Splintered Fate delivered a good time. Roguelites have been hot for a while now and throwing the TMNT skin on top of one makes a lot of sense. I think more recognizable IP's should branch out and try new genres like Splintered Fate here. Easy recommend for Turtles fans and roguelite enthusiasts alike.
Look, no matter how I try to put it, there’s no denying that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is basically Hades, but with more reptiles and pizza. But let me reiterate, that ain’t a bad thing. Sure, if you’re expecting for it to be as good as Hades, then you’re out of luck, but this is still a fun roguelike with a neat combat system, fun character interactions, and some great multiplayer support.
