A charmingly energetic mutation of the action roguelike formula.

Speaking of which, runs begin to feel a bit repetitive after a bit when you’re stronger. The early sections drag a tad when you’re powerful enough to plow through them with plenty of health remaining, which makes repeated runs less enjoyable after enough times. It’s still a blast to get to a new area or surpass your previous progress, but the precursor to that can wear a tad thin eventually.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate doesn't offer much room for the player to get frustrated or, quite frankly, challenged, as a lot of its difficulty is transparently manufactured and tied to linear progression systems that give the game its structure and longevity. At times, this makes it more enjoyable than even the most well-crafted roguelikes, but this is comparable to the difference between fast food and fine dining: one gives you quick and easy satisfaction, but the other offers an experience you'll remember for months or even years. It's up to the consumer to decide what they are more...

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. Will I get enough Splinter’s Revives for the final boss? Can I stuff enough pizza in my gob to keep the run going while I KO enemies with a pair of nunchucks? You never know what you’re going to find. The character models are fantastic too both in real-time gameplay and...

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are sewer surfing for trouble as they search to rescue Splinter in this action roguelike, which recently arrived on Switch. Fans of the turtles and roguelikes are in for a shell of a good time.

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!

Super Evil Mega Corp may have struck gold with their take on the TMNT franchise, but with an empty story, a myriad of audio problems, and the same difficulty as an actual turtle flipped over, a game that wants you to play it over and over makes it impossible to play it over and over. I guess everything that turtles, ain't gold. Splintered fate, indeed.

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.

TMNT: Splinted Fate is a fun roguelike and utilises the four Turtles well, with each one having unique abilities. The gameplay is fast paced and does introduce some variety early on, such as Gauntlet challenges. However, the story comes across as stretched out to arbitrarily lengthen a game that consists of four stage and four bosses.

With a gameplay loop that effortlessly integrates the heroes in a half-shell into the world of roguelikes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a fun and approachable 'Hades-like' that's best played with pals. However, despite the power of the IP and a co-op addition, it doesn't pack enough of a punch to avoid unfavourable comparisons to Supergiant's classic and constantly feels like it's on the back foot because of it. There is fun to be had here, but those who have spent time in the Underworld will find it hard to shake the feeling that this central loop has...

Whether you're a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or simply enjoy roguelikes, there's a lot to love about Splintered Fate. Aside from being well presented, its core gameplay is ever-so moreish thanks to a wide variety of upgrades being available. And thanks to local and online co-op options, you don't have to play alone.

TMNT: Splintered Fate wears its Hades inspiration on its sleeve, and does justice to the roguelites that came before.
