Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate

# Cowabunga, I Finally Beat It! 🐢 When I first started playing TMNT: Splintered Fate, I was genuinely confused. “Okay… why can’t I finish this game?” I could barely make it to the end, and the final boss seemed to live in a completely different universe. I started wondering what I was doing wrong. Was I too old? Were my reflexes gone? Had Shredder finally won? Then I discovered the secret: You are supposed to play the game over and over and over again. Yes. I know. Revolutionary. Splintered Fate is essentially a rogue-lite, meaning every run is different and when you die, you start again. But you keep progressing and becoming stronger. And this is where the game really clicked for me. The more you play, the stronger you become thanks to the Dragon Coins and the upgrades you unlock. At first, the game feels brutally difficult. Later, you start destroying rooms and wondering why you ever thought the game was hard. Eventually, with a maxed-out build, you can apparently finish the entire game in around 24 minutes. Meanwhile, my first attempts were basically: > Enter room → get punched → panic → die → question life choices. 😂 The great thing is that grinding doesn't really fee…

I liked the game until I was no longer able to continue using the save file. For some reason, I can see the save file but when I click continue it starts from the tutorial. It is very frustrating and I don't want to risk putting more time into it only to have the same thing happen again...

If you're a fan of Hades and/or TMNT this is a great game. If you're not, its still a great game if you like rogue lites. Highly recommended.

Pretty basic and repetitive rogue-lite with some minor quirks (bugs), but still a fun time. The mechanics and abilities are easy to understand and the pacing is done pretty well; grinding hardly ever feels like a slog. And let's just say the pizza isn't the only cheesy thing here! The dialogue is goofy but tasteful, appropriate for TMNT. Full price isn't unreasonable, but it's a strong buy if you can get the game and DLCs on sale.

well designed rogue lite. It's a good time to turn your brain off and go ninja go ninja go.
