I did not expect the most promising turn-based tactics game of Steam Next Fest to star the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but here we are

TMNT: Tactical Takedown is a new turn-based tactics game featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, showcased during the Steam Next Fest. The game presents battles against the Foot Clan in a board game-like format on a dynamic battlefield grid, where players allocate action points and utilize various abilities. Each turtle has unique gameplay styles, but the demo reveals balance issues, particularly with Michelangelo being more challenging than Leonardo and Donatello. Some ability tooltips can be misleading, affecting gameplay clarity. The game features a one-versus-many setup against simplistic AI, allowing for strategic maneuvers. The demo lasts about an hour and is currently available for free until March 3, after which it will be removed from the store. The release date is marked as "TBA."
