Ninja Turtles Take on Tactical Turn-Based Combat
Get ready for a different kind of Turtle power! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is bringing a fresh, turn-based strategy experience to the franchise. Developed by Strange Scaffold (creators of Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator and I Am Your Beast), this game marks a significant departure from the typical side-scrolling beat ’em up.
A New Approach to the TMNT Universe
This bold new approach isn’t just about the gameplay; it’s also about the story. In this version, Master Splinter and Shredder are both deceased, leaving the Turtles grappling with adulthood and growing apart. The game features 20 levels across four character-focused campaigns.
Gameplay and Visuals
Expect dynamic battle arenas that evolve with each turn, adding new threats and changing the playing field. The game boasts a unique comic-book-style aesthetic, enhanced by mini-figure and diorama elements. Each Turtle will have customizable moves, encouraging strategic use of their unique fighting styles and environmental interactions. The soundtrack is created by RJ Lake, composer for El Paso, Elsewhere.
