Cowabunga dudes! It’s time for you and your friends to become heroes in a half-shell for this modern take on an arcade classic. TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge has all the style of the 1980s cartoon and gameplay of the legendary Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. Like its predecessor, Shredder’s Revenge is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up game you can play with your friends. Only you won’t need to be sharing a sofa to do so!
Four players can still team up locally, but if you go online then six of you can get in on the action. That lets you take advantage of the full roster of playable characters. Each has different attributes, super moves, and taunts they can use as well as combo moves to pull off. Show those Foot Ninjas some turtle power!
