Super Evil Megacorp has announced that their roguelite turtle game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate, is coming to Switch on July 17. It was previously available for iOS via Apple Arcade and is now coming to a more thumb-friendly platform.
I donāt like touching my phone, so I donāt have any experience with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate. Itās a top-down fighting game that looks pretty hack and slashy. There are dashes that probably have invincibility frames. It looks very Hades-like, but thereās co-op. There has to be co-op. It would be an affront to good taste if a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game didnāt have co-op. Weāre not on the NES and Game Boy anymore.
Splintered Fate is said to feature āan all-new story written by legendary comic book author Tom Waltz and Kevin Michael Johnson.ā The roguelite angle seems strange to me because Iām pretty sure the turtles are married to their weapons, but apparently, there is a ādiverse build systemā that allows you toĀ ācreate the elemental-infused Teenage Turtle of their dreams.āĀ
Iāve never dreamed of infusing a Teenage Turtle with elements, but I get what theyāre saying.
It also touts that it has received āover 22,000 5/5 radical player reviews,ā which doesnāt mean much to me. Especially since the app store on my phone only says 1K ratings. Still, I looked up reviews and theyāre pretty positive, if maybe not enthusiastic. Still, if youāre into ā90s-locked turtle ātude, it may be worth checking out.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate launches on Switch July 17 for $29.99.
