Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, the preview
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is clearly inspired by the iconic coin-ops made by Konami in 1989 and 1991: this is demonstrated by the game's debut trailer, which takes up practically the same sequences as the first cabinet and the original theme song of the game. cartoon, although in an inevitably more sophisticated and dynamic way thanks to today's technologies.We are therefore talking about a new scrolling fighting game, developed by a team that has already given ample proof of knowing how to get by with the genre and with the retro-style graphics: Tribute Games, the authors of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game, supervised in this case by the French publisher DotEmu, who in recent months gave us the excellent Streets of Rage 4. A great couple!
Let's find out what's new in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge in our preview.
Background
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, the Turtles Complete Ninja. The pedigree of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge does not seem to arouse any suspicion about the potential of the game, out soon (there is no official launch date yet) on PC and Nintendo Switch but probably already "optioned" by the others platforms where it should be welcomed with a certain enthusiasm, something we frankly trust.The Ninja Turtles brand still enjoys great popularity, not so much thanks to the live action films with Megan Fox released some time ago , but rather for the older ones and for the profound sign that the animated series broadcast since the end of the 80s, with all the accompanying merchandising, has left on the thirties and forties of today, even in Italy.
Style
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge boasts retro-style graphics that pay homage to 90s classics. It is precisely to this audience that the Tribute Games guys want to address, no doubt: the aforementioned references to Konami coin-ops, the retro-style graphics and the same belonging to a genre that has disappeared for decades, that of fighting games scrolling, they confirm that Shredder's Revenge is a nostalgic production.If we also add the use of the initials of the original cartoon, the one written by Chuck Lorre (author of a multitude of television series successful, from Two and a Half Men to The Big Bang Theory), the picture is decidedly complete and the atmospheres perfectly framed. We also have no doubt that the experience can be as mangy and challenging as Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game.
Gameplay
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Gameplay Trailer Revenge published by DotEmu confirms the points of contact between the new Tribute Games title and the aforementioned Scott Pilgrim tie-in. The Ninja Turtles must face the numerous members of the Foot Clan and their powerful boss, Shredder, in urban settings.Leonardo and his double katana, Michelangelo with the inseparable nunchaku, Donatello with his bo and Raffaello with sais can hit their opponents by performing spectacular combos and possibly activate special attacks that for good or bad all look a bit alike, but allow you to clean up the area from enemies.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, the protagonists struggling with the components of the Clan del Fiede. Of course the core of the experience is represented by the cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four participants, probably drop-in / drop-out, hopefully both offline and online, which allows you to involve all the characters and carry out a battle without neighborhood over the course of the campaign.
There will obviously be boss fights, in which the Ninja Turtles will face Shredder's lieutenants before they can fight him, and in general an approach we imagine will resume the rank of challenge of previous Tribute Games productions, with even a less permissive checkpoint system in order to prevent the experience from running out in an afternoon.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge promises to be the perfect homage to Ninja Turtles and their historical tie-ins, a game that embraces the typical mechanics of scrolling fighting, complete with a promising cooper mode ativa to four, as part of a perfectly calibrated nostalgia operation entrusted to the right people. We hope to be able to try it as soon as possible and confirm the excellent conditions of this production.
