TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan Turtles

Everyone’s favorite turtles Leonardo, Mikey, Donatello, and Raphael are starring in their own character action beat-em-up – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan. What even better is that it’s being made by the masters of over-the-top action, Platinum Games, the guys behind Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance and Bayonetta.

Each character is a little different in both personality and gameplay. Leonardo can slice up foot clan soldiers in bullet time, Mikey has a whole hidden stash of shurikens and bombs, Donatello has both the brains, brawn, and technology to take on any enemy, and Raphael has a mobility and a rage mode that boosts damage. Each character will be playable on every level so you can shell out damage to foot clan grunts and bosses like Armaggon, Bebop, Rocksteady, and of course, Shredder, with any of the four turtles.

The Heroes in half shells look like they were always meant to be cell shaded, and Platinum really nailed their clashing personalities in each video, so be sure to check them out. In classic TMNT fashion, you won’t be tackling these foes alone, you’ll be a part of the team. The other turtles can help you with special team attacks or hurt you by drawing in more enemies, so the key to success is to keep your team unified just as Master Splinter taught us.
