You can never have too many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games, right…?
We’re getting another one on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S next week, as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown has just received a surprise August 14th release date for the two Xbox consoles along with Nintendo Switch.
This title first launched for PC back in May, and it’s the “first-ever turn-based Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game”. Unfortunately it seems like it’s struggled for sales on Steam – there are only just over 100 user ratings for it right now – but the good news is that it’s got a “Very Positive” rating based on those who have shared their thoughts.
You’re looking at 20 action-packed levels, a graphic novel-inspired art style, customisable movesets to shape each Turtles’ playstyle, a thumping multi-genre soundtrack and more, and it’s been developed by the indie team behind the likes of Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator and El Paso, Elsewhere. Colour us intrigued!
We’ll leave more details and screenshots for this new TMNT Xbox game down below. Based on the Steam pricing, it looks like it’ll be available for £16.75 / $19.99 when it arrives next week.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is the first-ever turn-based TMNT video game. Inspired by the classic cartoon, you’ll experience a bold new approach to the world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Splinter and Shredder are dead, and as the Turtles approach adulthood, they’re not just growing up… they’re growing apart.
Battle the Foot Clan as a powerful new leader takes control in action-packed campaigns that showcase each Turtle individually. Carve through enemies in 20 constantly-mutating levels that grow, shrink, and add new threats with each turn, inspired by classic TMNT games! Rack up points for high scores while experiencing a powerful original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story from acclaimed indie studio Strange Scaffold. This is the next step for Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael–and you can experience it with flying, slashing figurines in graphic novel-inspired splendor.
