Gameplay

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate we participate in dynamic battles with hordes of enemies, including the popular turtles' antagonists (Bebop, Rocksteady, Oroku Karai and others).

During the game we can take control of any of the main characters. Each of them has not only a different set of weapons, but also a unique skill set. The choice of character affects the fighting style - fans of area attacks can choose Michelangelo, and players who prefer critical damage can choose Raphael. Over time, we also gain access to new abilities and develop those already known to us.

Randomness is an important element of the game, thanks to which each playthrough brings a different experience. The regions we visit always have a different appearance and different room layout. Randomness also applies to the power-ups found by the protagonists or bonuses capable of modifying strong points of the bosses. Battles in the game force us to constantly adapt to the prevailing conditions in the arenas.

Game modes

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate was created to be played both alone and in cooperation. A maximum of four s can participate in co-op.

GamingTrend: 55 / 100 by Jack Zustiak

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.

PlayStation LifeStyle: 9 / 10 by Tyler Treese

TMNT: Splintered Fate is a wonderful roguelike that is one of the PS5’s most replayable games. Thanks to the familiar characters and foes, there’s an instant charm and solid story that will immediately grab your interest. With co-op and difficult options, this is both a great entry point for those new to the genre and a fresh challenge.

Pure Nintendo: 7.5 / 10 by Jemma Casson

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.
