In August, a delightful surprise emerged in the gaming world—a new roguelike featuring the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the Nintendo Switch. The excitement grew as news broke of a forthcoming PC port, and now, gamers can experience a free demo on Steam. A brief session with the demo confirms that this version surpasses its predecessor, offering an engaging gameplay experience.
Gameplay Dynamics
Picture the essence of Hades, but instead of a solitary goth teenager, you’re navigating the chaotic world with four iconic turtles. The game introduces a variety of wacky powers, allowing players to craft unique builds throughout their runs. Elemental types such as ooze, ninja, and utrom can be combined in brilliantly chaotic ways, ensuring that no two playthroughs are the same.
Cooperative play adds an exciting layer to the experience, although solo players will find that the game stands strong on its own. The demo also features a promising aspect: any progress made will carry over to the full game, enhancing the incentive to dive in.
Platform Compatibility
For those seeking a portable gaming experience, this title shines on the Steam Deck. It was a joy to play on the Switch, and with Steam Deck verification already in place, it’s poised for seamless gameplay on the go. If you’re intrigued by the demo, consider adding the game to your wishlist on Steam, as the full release is set for November 6.
Overall, this title exceeds expectations for a licensed game, particularly one that began its journey on mobile platforms. It’s a refreshing addition to the roguelike genre, and its vibrant gameplay is sure to captivate both fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.
