Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge(opens in new tab) promises that same magic you felt at a pizza parlor arcade in the '90s, and now it looks like we won't have to wait for it much longer: the game is releasing June 16 and features fan-favorite, Casey Jones as a playable character.
Shredder's Revenge primarily builds on the legacy of Turtles in Time, which is probably what you're thinking of if you're picturing a Turtles brawler in your head. Shredder's Revenge is co-created by Dotemu and Tribute Games, developers of Streets of Rage 4 and Panzer Paladin respectively. For our April cover story, we got to see demo footage of the game's vibrant pixel art and advances to the Ninja Turtles beat 'em up formula like character-differentiated move sets and improved hit registering.
The game's final trailer revealed the inclusion of '90s badass parody, Casey Jones, alongside its impending release date. I'll be interested to see how this hockey mask-wearing beefy bruiser fits into the character balancing we were shown earlier in the Spring—unlike the original games, each character in Shredder's revenge is balanced to offer advantages and disadvantages in terms of speed, reach and attack power.
Shredder's Revenge will be available for purchase on Steam(opens in new tab) starting June 16.
