Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed Review (SoulReaper85)
Finished, I am mixed on this, They captured the Art style of the movie greatly into the game with the designs and overall details of the spaces and the characters text box portraits and understand if older fans do not vibe with the style so it is going to be a preference ,
BUT the repetition sets in like the stages where you play the side missions get repetitive in terms of the level design and would play the same stages when you do the side missions and the variety can be lacking with the enemies but it does throw in the mutation system where the enemies get upgraded with features that feel more like augmentations than anything organic after awhile and there some padding,
Story and Characters are solid and builds off the movie plot really well with how the mutants try to live in New york which is not addressed in Tales of TMNT if you have seen the show
Persona style really works because the side characters do get mentioned in the main plot and the small side stories they have can be relatable and flesh out the turtles and shows the family bond in a very wholesome way and the chemistry and jokes can be funny like Splinter search history being "cockroach breeding season" which can be seen as gross but I personally found it funny , there was a mentioned of the shredder
Game play is decent and the turtles have a wide range of moves to use which does add variety and that goes for each turtle having their own styles of combat but the game does not really force you to use different moves since you can get by with the base upgrades throughout the majority of the game and the Boss fight do try to spice it up in how fight them,
There are some bugs and Glitches like when I would to an area and the game would freeze for like 5 seconds from time to time and the loading times being like a Minute to 2 minutes long which got very annoying playing on pc, another glitch I encounter is when Enemies would phase out the combat area sometimes and you can not progress with beating the ones that get glitch and I would die and the game would still go on as if I need to progress without restarting and so I had to manually restart the section
works really well on Steam deck and the compatibility is very solid, Low 7
