Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown launches on Switch next week
Strange Scaffold is bringing another game to Nintendo Switch, and this one is filled to the brim with turtles, pizza, and turn-based tactical goodness! Introducing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown, releasing on August 14th in Europe and North America.
To celebrate the announcement, a short trailer was shared:
The Nintendo Switch version of the game will include Remix Mode, which brings the following elements for players yearning for some extra challenge:
- More Variety – More than DOUBLE the enemy types — introducing new ways to approach each level. (I saw a Bruiser rock up with an air conditioner ready to chuck at me and an Elite Foot oozing with new powers?!)
- Higher Difficulty – Strategies that work in the main game may not work in Remix Mode (I love kicking everyone off the edge of the game board, who doesn’t? I was SHOCKED to find there are breakable barricades stopping you and sturdy enemies who just stand there when you kick them, mocking your whole strat!)
- Build Crafting – You’ll need to perfect your Turtle’s loadout, by making the most of every move you purchased from Fugitoid. (You can also make it even more difficult for yourself if you want things even more challenging!)
Remix Mode will be available for each chapter once you’ve finished it: you won’t have to finish the full game first!
Finally, here’s some details about the game itself:
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.
- 20 action-packed levels, divided into campaigns focusing on individual characters.
- A unique take on the world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the minds at Strange Scaffold (Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, I Am Your Beast).
- Innovative turn-based beat-em-up combat, complete with mutating arenas.
- Gorgeous graphic novel-inspired art style, with paint splatter, figurines, and diorama setpieces.
- Customizable movesets to shape each Turtles’ playstyle
- Thumping multi-genre soundtrack from award-winning composer RJ Lake (Unbeatable, I Am Your Beast).
