Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate - Hades but with Ninja Turtles! PC Steam Deck REVIEW
6Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a 2023 roguelike brawler game developed and published by Super Evil Megacorp. Set in a distinct continuity partially inspired by the IDW Publishing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book mythology, the main story follows the Turtles on a quest across New York City to save their master, Splinter, from the Shredder and his Foot Clan.
Players assume control of the four Turtles — Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo — and battle enemies through procedurally generated levels spread across various themed environments. The player can use collectibles gained during runs to upgrade and enhance their characters. The game supports single-player mode, and a four player local and online cooperative multiplayer mode.
Super Evil Megacorp chose to make Splintered Fate roguelike to differentiate it from previous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles outings. Influenced by roguelikes of the past, the team wanted to capture a "brawler arcade" feel, with an emphasis on cooperative gameplay, which they felt was rare in the genre. Tom Waltz, a writer and editor for the IDW comic series was brought in to consult on the game's writing.
Splintered Fate was announced and released for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and tvOS through Apple Arcade on May 4, 2023. It was later released for the Nintendo Switch on July 17, 2024 and for Windows on November 6, 2024. PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions were released on May 20 2025, with Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S versions debuting later on June 24, 2025. The game received generally favorable reviews from critics, with praise given to its combat, upgrade system, and progression, though some criticized its performance, visuals, and comparisons to Hades (2020).
