The good things about it are that even though it crashed seven times I never lost any progress, the gauntlet bosses remained fun and challenging the entire journey, it looks really good on handheld and runs smooth, and the randomness of the abilities and items makes every run novel.

You never know what you’re going to find. The character models are fantastic too both in real-time gameplay and dialogue art — it feels like a proper TMNT game. And having played nearly forty hours to complete the main story and only getting impatient a very few times, I have to say I think this is a terrific roguelike, and a very engaging experience.
