Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed

[code]No spoilers in this review! Played on a Steamdeck [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]@MatureContent[/url][/code] This game is boring and feels lazy in design, just a soulless experience. The story in this game is kinda unimportant, there isnt really anything fun or deep or anything to hold on to and I started skipping cutscenes pretty fast. It also didnt help much that the cutscenes are these semi animated slide shows, where the characters within are moving 3D renders that just stand there while their voice lines play out, it made the already flat plotline feel even flatter. The levels are also nothing to celebrate. They are very short and in the most simple form of a beat em up you can imagine. You beat up an average of 10 to 15 identical enemies to complete a level, which for someone used to video games takes maybe a minute to two to accomplish. Usually you can excuse design like this on the age group in which the game is targeted for, but this game is clearly for an older audience than most of the other games published by Outright Games, and with that in mind, the oversimplified gameplay just comes off as boring and lazy level design. I played this a…

Outright Games strikes again... doing serious damage to a licensed game property through accountant driven game design. Let's start at the beginning. TMNT: Mutants Unleashed looks great... and that's it. Everything else is awful... a shallow, incredibly badly ported Nintendo Switch game dumped on Steam more as a cash grab than anything else. Why? Now we can talk about Outright Games. These guys are a financial operation, they acquire media licenses to popular franchises (Fast & Furious, TMNT, Chicken Run, Peppa Pig, Transformers, DreamWorks Dragons, Adventure Time, Spongebob Squarepants, you name it) and pump out incredibly shallow mini-games with enticing looking visuals and nothing else going for them. This is purely orientated around generating sales from the license to pay off the license... at no point is any serious effort given to making a game that people would actually want to play. And that sucks for a lot of reasons, which TMNT: Mutants Unleashed exemplifies perfectly. See, while the accountants who run Outright Games get their quarterly sales (barely) and high five each other while underpaying the developers (who they'll surely replace with AI in no time), game…

THERE is so much dialog it's like a cartoon more than a game. I'm not sure their is a way to change the difficulty. I went in blind with this one. It's okay. seems like Ninja Gaiden: Yaibo yes it has WOKE dialog. I could be mad at that but, the art style and nostalgia is winning at the moment.

The game has an awesome art but fails in game mechanics and playability! I will finish the game eventually, thanks to its artwork...

I love the artwork of this game. Really unique with the artistry and CGI. Been having a lot of fun with this. I like how you can choose which turtle you want to play and each having skills to unlock.

good gameplay good story great soundtrack one of the best games from this dev imo around 10 hours long my only dislikes are the gen alpha terms are kinda cringe mikeys voice actor doesnt fit the charactor imo and the time gated missions thing
