@@SwitchUpYt hope it gets a physical release down the track
Only four levels huh? Dat sounds like longeivity is lacking. For $26 sounds like a cheap cash grab. I'll wait until it's on sale. No wonder this game is only switch.
Do you know if it has graphics settings that you can turn down? Does the performance suffer on older Switches? Lag via online co-op? I play on an older Switch, might be first generation.
Anybody else getting game breaking bugs in multiplayer? About 30 minutes into a run, getting a crash on ability select (seems to happen when you’re close to getting every available ability for one power type). Game crashes and when you re-load, everybody except player 1 loses every item / power up received.
@@MuhammadAli-xw4yc your comment didn't she well. Because- uh, it's coming to PC in 2 days.
That Shredder! How dare he kidnap Master Splinter! Im buying this game and I'm gonna go and save Master Splinter.😤
TURTLES FIGHT WITH HONOR!!!!!
⚔
Kick some shell dude!
Imma buy it and rarely play it so he will be held hostage probably FOREVER in my universe😂😂😂
@@smoothlyrough512 nuuuu! Dont do that to Master Splinter. Save him. 😅
Right if you are a 80-90s kid you better get this and save our master!
The recent resurgence of well made turtle games is such a welcome surprise
Honestly
Shredder's revenge so far is my favorite
'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hades in a half shell'
Roguelike power
@@tattoodrdokeI see what you did there 😂
Ninja Turtles are so special to me as they were something my brother who passed away used to love with his whole heart (and we enjoyed together) This combined with the roque like game play and just how awesomely fun this game looks, makes this a no brainer for me!! Totally picking this one up! Great review guys ♥️😃
Thank you. Very sorry to hear about your brother. Hope you enjoy the game. Glen
Turtle power to ur brother
Watching this review has made me remember how much I used to love TMNT growing up in the 90s
The Turtles are no stranger to timeline or multiverse shenanigans, they've been kinda baked into the lore since the 87 cartoon (my jumping on point, like so many 80s kids!) so seeing them trapped in a time fracture with basically unlimited variations is a great story reason to get the Turtles into a roguelike! I saw this trailer on the April Indie World and thought: "Oooh, I didn't know we needed this in our lives, but we clearly did, thank you!" Plus multiplayer, an odd thing to add to a Hades-type roguelike, but a necessity for Ninja Turtles games since the Konami belt-brawler, so I'm glad to see it's wisely included! Also, picking out one of the four brothers is just like picking out your weapon in Hades, so again, this is a place where this format works great for these characters, or vice versa.
COWABUNGA!!
Even before the 87 cartoon, it even goes back to the original Turtles from the comics and their reoccurring adventures with Renet battling the villainous Savanti Romero.
Gotta love when TMNT games get solid reviews for gameplay, multi-player and fun!
As an 80s kid raised in the 90s, the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles have been my absolute favourite for a good 34 years. It warms my heart to see them getting so much love as of late, especially at 40 years young!
I have been waiting for this review of Splintered Fate with bated breath. Especially since the last multiplayer game (I'm looking at you, Wrath of the Mutants...) was very lacklustre. I was so reluctant to put any more money into the franchises game branch after that travesty.
This has renewed my interest and is definitely going to be on my purchase list.
You have no idea how happy this video made me. Truly. Thank you :)
No worries mate. I'm of a very similar age and have a similar love for the Turtles so I know what you mean. Glen
Hero turtles? Is that what they were called where you grew up? Never heard that before.
Same 😂
@@conductorcammon Yep! It was a European thing.
@SwitchUpYt Thank you again. I appreciate the fairness and honesty you brought to the review, even as a fan yourself.
Oh I was on the fence for this one but I'm glad it has Glen's seal of approval. Cowabunga guys!
I really dig the fact that even licensed games are roguelites now!
This franchise is doing such a good job at the moment. Keep releasing TMNT themed games in different genres, they are killing it!
It already looked fun but You sold me at “the Story continues regardless you lose or win”…
Yeah it makes a big difference! Mark
This is a pleasant and welcome surprise. I love TMNT and hate when they drop weak games using their IP to attract sales. Looks like this is one of the good ones though. Def gonna try this with my son. Thanks Glen!
I'm kind of interested in this. Glad you reviewed it for me
Great game if you liked HADES. Mark
Awesome game, if you love tmnt and hades gameplay, it's a great pick.
Unfortunately the online mode works with a session code, no way to play with randoms... and that's a missed opportunity there.
Been playing some online multiplayer with my friend and we didn't experience anything but pure awesomeness.
It's got the charm of an OG turtles beat-em-up with the RPG elements and character progression of a roguelike.
Jen zees artwork and environmental art in Hades is second to none, and looking at the art in this game really hits that home
Looks like my kin of game! Shame there's no physical yet though
Playable Casey Jones would've been good to see
Yeah it would've been. He's in the game but isn't a playable character. Glen
Forget Casey, I want playable Gadgetman 😅
$49.99 to unlock Casey Jones Downloadable content also an additional $20.99 to see April in her 80’s yellow jump suit 😂
Can't budget this in yet but will definitely be a future purchase! So glad and relieved to see that this was received better than the most recent turtles release and am curious to see how the next turtles title does when it drops in October. Cheers for the review Glen and SwitchUp 🎉 I'm looking forward to mowing down enemies as Raphael!
Update: This game is crazy good, can't stop playing.
It's not clearly explained how the challenge system works, Gauntlets, Astrals and Bandanas. Basically the number means the most you ever got in a run, unlike the Shredder claws and Karai gems.
- Beat 6 Gauntlets in a single run, get 6.
- Accept 13 Portals and beat Shredder, get 13 Bandanas for that turtle and 13 Astrals.
These can't be farmed. At first it WOULD seem like a pretty daunting task, but the game gets crazy easy the more you power up everything. Raphael becomes a BEAST. Just stick the Dodge Artifact on him and get either Ninja dodge or the Light Astral ability that increases Dodge for inflicting status on enemies. You can literally stand in place and beat Gauntlet Shredder like this. Bonus if you get the Legendary Astral/Water ability that restores health on attack.
I'm still missing 3 artifacts for 70 Stockman enemies, Spend 1300 coins, destroy 200 crates and lose 5 runs despite clearly having done them. I found that playing online and then starting a single player run unlocked some dialogue and artifacts for Mikey, but it only happened once.
Holy cow! Turtles + Hades? Give it to me, NOW!
If this ever comes out physically it’s a day one. Until then I’ll just wait. I love the resurgence of the Ninja Turtles lately. It makes me so happy. 😂😂😂
100% agree with you.
@@Plut0kin I’m old school. I just prefer owning a game physically than digitally. The thought of actually owning the game helps. Also I can sell it when I don’t want them anymore.
@@Plut0kincompanies can revoke your license to anything digital and not give you a reason. Physical is better on a number of levels.
@@benlegend8710Nintendo did it with the 3ds which is why I buy all my games physical.
And it's nice to look at
@benlegend8710 Companies can impose updates where a physical cart will not boot without a download. You don't own the games you think you do.
I was very much expecting this to fall somewhere between the mid-shovelware range, because of the TMNT IP. What a pleasant surprise!
The last few TMNT games have actually been pretty damn good
I like that the artwork is basically a remix of all the best design ideas from various Turtles incarnations.
Thanks for the review! I've been waiting for this one for a while! It seems to be a fresh take on the franchise, adventuring outside the more usual beat'em-up genre.
I also love that the designs are based on IDW comics' TMNT era, and particularly it seems, amazing artist Matheus Santolouco.
Can wait to try it!
A turtles rogue like sound rather interesting. Being locked on Apple Arcade seems like an odd choice, so happy that it was set free.
I imagine Apple paid some cash for a few exclusives - I've seen it done a few times now - Mark
@@SwitchUpYt 100%.
But imagine how good dlc would be. So many cast for extra character, and 4 bosses are so low compared to the line up for villians both boss and minions.
Maybe in a sequel.
Honestly it looks a bit like a mobile game. Bit more polish in the ui would have been appreciated
It was actually quite fun on the phone if you have a controller. But if you read the reviews on there you learn that it randomly deletes all of your progress. When that happened to me I stopped playing.
@@SwitchUpYt Large developers arent flocking to list on the apple arcade (sans a few notable exceptions like Stardew Valley etc) so they're left with having to incentivise some titles otherwise it'd just be a cesspit of poor infinite runner copies.
Been a TMNT fan since I grabbed copies off the comic shelf during the original run long before a film or a toon was even a dream of Laird's and Eastman. Thrilled to see a game of that IP do so well and be treated with respect. Kudos.
Awesome review . Waiting for a physical copy 😎
A turtles roguelike - not something I thought I'd be seeing any time soon, but here we are. I definitely enjoyed Hades, so I'll have to take a look at this. Thanks for the review!
I'm loving this game. The voice Acting really makes it even better.
I also grew up with the Turtles, and didn’t have high hopes for this game… but you sold me! Now I’m excited to get my hands on this one! 🐢🐢🐢🐢
I've been excited to try this game for the first time. I love some Turtles action! 🐢 💜 Donatello is my favorite by the way. XD
Outstanding game, truly. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for my wallet) I've already beaten it on Apple Arcade; are there really no added stages or characters or anything added to this version over the "free" iPhone version?
The 2D game of TMNT would be my most favorited ones really
Oh crap I almost ordered the wrong TMNT game as I thought this had a physical. It must have been either that port of the crappy TMNT arcade game(so weird since the classics were so good) or that other game coming out later this year that also doesn't look that great.
This looks fantastic though. No physical is a shame, I might wait a little bit to see if one comes out for this.
TURTLE POWER! 🐢 🍕 can’t wait to buy this. Hoping for a physical!
It looks like a Hades reskin and I'm here for it!!! Turtle power!!!
Having played both of them, it is 100% that
Looks great and I’m really hoping it gets a physical release at some point!
I did get the feeling from the trailer that the game seems to take a lot of inspiration from the 2003 cartoon and the IDW comics. Sounds great to me, since they're easily my favorites.
Definitely picking this up when I have the time and money to spend.
Great review. I really wish devs would stop thinking that roguelikes need meta progression. They don't; they need variety of runs, horizontal progression, not a grindy vertical progression systems for in-game currencies and paultry stat increases that wastes the player's time until unlocking the actual variety the game is supposed to offer. UGH.
Been playing non-stop since Friday night. It's a great introduction to Roguelite games and it's got the boys. Still having a lot of fun with it. A solid 7.5. Add a point of you're a TMNT fan.
Awe Hades and TMNT had a baby 😍
Wow just as good as Hades you say? That's incredible! Will definitely have to add this to the Wishlist for when the backlog goes down a smidge
Sold. Easy decision to buy. I’m very excited to play.
Cowabunga! I’m so happy to see this reviewed well. I was worried knowing it came from mobile.
Everything about this sounds great up until the point that it only has 4 levels. That's really disappointing
Yeah, that's fair enough.
4 lvls?! WTF??????
That sucks.
Sifu only has 5 levels and it’s an amazing game. Enjoyment depends on the user
@@seventhraikage2538Sifu does have an arena mode that has more environments. I wonder if Splintered Fate has a similar mode.
@@Oridginale24 I’ve been playing Sifu since launch, before arenas and still find the game enjoyable today. SEMC might implement more modes in the future. They made a great mobile game in Vainglory so I know they’re capable of creating quality stuff.
Played this on Apple Arcade a ton and LOVED it. Glad to see it’s finally coming to a console
Hope they give us dlc for April, Casey playable too.
Maybe add a new zone or 2 and give us Karai and Usagi.
Is this only available for download?
Just tried to google this to find a hard copy and nothing is coming up.
I will download it but I’d rather have a physical copy
Picking this up on the 18 cannot wait absolutely loved it on apple arcade!
I was so happy to see this review. I am a huge turtles fan and huge fan of the game hades. Seeing 2 of my favorite messing well in a game made me smile. Definitely adding this game to my list.
Thanks for the review. I tried it out on Apple Arcade the other day.
It's good game though it didn't quite click with me like it did Hades.
Hey guys I had a question hoping you could answer for me regarding its online co op. Do you know if you join a friends game do you bring your own personal upgrades or do you share the host’s upgrades?
Definitely going to get this one, 1st all I'm a huge TMNT fan, and love Hades type game. Thanks a lot for the review, once again great review :D
This looks right up my street, just a shame about the lack of tmnt theme tune!
I am not a fan of Roguelikes, but if you put a TMNT skin on it, I'm there. Besides, your review sold me. It is not just the aesthetic. The game is actually great on its own! Booyaka-- er, I mean...
COWABUNGA!!!!!
Awesome review Im getting this for sure, just one question it is 4 player co-op locally as well right?
My childhood dream game wow this looks incredible thank you for sharing/reviewing this
Showing great restraint I waited a day to see if a physical would be announced before buying digital. Just a coincidence today is launch day.
I’m so glad to hear this one is better than the last entry. This will be something I definitely check out once I get the money. Thanks again for a great thorough and excellent review as always.
Love it when established franchises try new genres!
Will this be on xbox to may get it there
You mentioned that there are certain items given by playing a particular turtle. Does playing with a friend help you earn these items?
wow - glad this reviewed well. Hades meets Turtles sounds amazing.
I have ALWAYS wanted to buy Hades and now that it was time to buy it, THIS came out. What do you recommend? Should firstly purchase Hades and then TMNT or go straight for some cowabunga TNMNT action and then buy Hades?
Thank you!
This looks awesome, and more TMNT is always welcome, but I have a tendency to bounce off of roguelikes, so will add to the wishlist and wait for a sale.
I'm getting this asap! I hope a physical comes down the line as well.
As soon as da page loaded automatically pressed thumbs up. SwitchupYt is wholesome asf ya'll I love these british dudes. Something bout british accents really sounds epic to my hispanic american ears. Like dat show game of thrones. I freaking love british accents.
I love me some Ninja Turtles but I hadn't dared hope this would be good! I'm so getting this one 😍
Glen had me at SuperEvilMegaCorp...😅 Game looks great, will definitely purchase and not one I would have looked at without Switchup - thanks Glen and Mark byeeee
Y'all turtle fans are eating VERY GOOD this year. I'm no TMNT fan but this game looks Hades-ly interesting. Will definitely try the game some day (prolly on sale 👀).
Holy hell, such high praise. I may need to pick this up, is it more than 2 players? We all had a blast playing Shredders Revenge when we all went camping.
Up to 4 players, I believe.
Considering how cheesy the voice-over actors were in the trailer I had extremely low expectations for this game, but I'm glad to see it did so well. . Even though the reviews and gameplay looked good for Hades I can't play a game that involves exploring hell because I know too much about that place to ever wanna go there in any capacity. . Now I have a chance to play a game LIKE Hades that won't darken my subconscious before bed. . Thank you TMNT! lol! . . Gonna be a while until I can afford it, but I'm lookin forward to playing this game when I can.
Glad to hear this game is so great. I think $40 is a little steep for what this is. I’d pay that for a physical copy, but otherwise I think I’ll wait for a sale.
Why would physical make a difference? When you buy a game you're not actually paying for the plastic or disk you're paying primarily for the labour it costs to make the game. In general, the cost to make games has increased by 400%, especially triple A Games. whereas the retail price has only increased by 30%.
@@andrewpearson3516 Because digital games, particularly licensed ones, have a habit of disappearing off storefronts. If I can own a game physically, and it’s fully on the cart/disc, then I have access to it forever.
OH SNAP!!! I can’t wait to play this game.. I was so waiting on this review.. AWESOME
When you said Apple Arcade out of the gate it splintered my expectations, but the game does look decent. I wish there were more levels to it but maybe that will come later?
Question:
Does the online mode allow playing with friends online?
Similar to Hades, In my opinion, its a must own for TMNT fans
I loved TMNT growing up, tho was never able to finish that one game on NES 😂 Regardless I will have to add this to my Switch Library
Wow, to be honest, I didn't expect such a high score. I trust your reviews, and I think I might give it a shot.
Wow. The TMNT games keep coming. Thanks for the review.
love your videos! just finished the patch update one
I'm glad you guys got this review out. I loved Hades and love rogue likes. Definitely will pick this up.
Hey, I also ran into that P2 bonus bug as well. How wild!
Strange, isn't it!
I was hoping this would be great, gonna go pick it up now!
Did you get it? If so would you recommend?
I did and I do. Very fun, great for fans of Hades, and it's especially fun to play multiplayer.
so Glen, I know they're totally different but which game do you personally enjoy more: Shredder's Revenge or Splintered Fate?
I enjoy beat 'em ups more, so Shredder's Revenge, but I don't think I would complete a run on Shredder's Revenge and then jump straight back in, like I did here. Glen
@@SwitchUpYt thanks for responding! This review has def inspired me to buy the game (as your review for Shredder's Revenge did back in 2022).
Wish it had physical since I buy my switch titles that way but definitely buying next week
Nice I didn’t expect this to be that good but looks a lot of fun
I'm hype for this. Already pre-ordered
Wow I think this is the highest rating I've seen yesterday. Definitely can't wait to play this.
I am so excited for this game and so glad that it seems to be firing on all cylinders. I can’t wait to get off work and play.
I thought it was online multiplayer only! So buying it now, well when on sale as I don’t pay full price for digital only, also never pay full price for late pizza
Review sold me. I’ll be grabbing this.
I haven't played the game, but just from the footage here I have one complaint. Why are bosses like 10ft tall? I get that it's a boss battle, but shredder is a Japanese man, he should only be slightly taller than the turtles. Bebop and Rocksteady are supposed to be tall, but they are still ridiculously tall here.
Wondering if the physical is going to come from Limited Run🤔
I sincerely hope not. I hope it's just a standard release. Glen
@@SwitchUpYt yeah me too🤞
I have been playing this game for around 3 days.
I have encountered few crashes, like 5, good thing it auto saves and n the middle of the run.
The only bad thing I can found about this game is the online mode, when you start a online room, you get a code and have to give to the other players, this means somebody you know must own the game, from my friends nobody has the game, so I cannot play online. Too bad, they should have done this like any game, you open your room and wait few minutes for 3 players to join.
This looks amazing. Definitely picking it up.
When's it coming out on the PS?
