Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants

TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants has its moments of fun but needs to have more variety to be truly great. It is worth the price of entry if you just want to mindlessly kill some TMNT-themed enemies, but don’t expect anything revolutionary.

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Wrath of the Mutants" is criticized for its simplicity and repetitiveness, featuring only basic attacks and a lack of variety in stages and bosses. While it may provide some enjoyment in multiplayer settings, the overall experience is marred by floaty controls, unbalanced difficulty, and minimal mechanical depth, making it hard to recommend over other titles in the genre.

    • “Gameplay: this game, like many TMNT beat 'em ups, takes inspiration from the old Konami beat 'em ups.”
    • “Nice graphics, good gameplay.”
    • “The simple gameplay of Wrath of the Mutants can be enjoyable in the right mood, but don’t expect anything more than a bland and repetitive button masher.”
    • “The gameplay is terrible, since it only has a single attack with a single 3-hit combo, which makes the game really repetitive.”
    • “The side-scrolling brawling gameplay is simplistic and doesn’t bring with it any fresh ideas, whilst the unbalanced difficulty feels like it's designed to drain your health as opposed to offer a satisfying sense of challenge to the player.”
    • “With hollow gameplay and monotonous design choices, TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants rides the nostalgia train but delivers nothing.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their solid quality, unique art style, and vibrant environments, contributing to an engaging visual experience.

    • “Nice graphics, good gameplay.”
    • “Graphics, presentation, and sound: this part is weird.”
    • “Despite some pretty visuals and colorful environments, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Wrath of the Mutants is rather repetitive.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as fine but suffers from being too quiet, making it less memorable. Reviewers noted a lack of engaging content, such as unlockable features or a digital soundtrack, and criticized the level and boss music as generic and forgettable. Overall, the audio experience does not stand out and is overshadowed by other titles in the genre.

    • “Despite the music sounding fine, it was way too quiet to properly hear, causing all the tunes to be less memorable than they should.”
    • “No unlockable art or developer interviews, no digital game soundtrack, and the two new levels barely add any runtime.”
    • “Level and boss music is generic and forgettable, depending heavily on your feelings about the 2012 TV show.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is limited, offering only a hard mode after completion, which does not significantly enhance the experience. Critics note that the overall simplicity and lack of additional content make it less appealing for repeated playthroughs.

    • “Replayability: after you beat the game, you get the option to replay on hard mode, but after that, nothing.”
    • “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants expands on the 2017 arcade game, but its simple and safe style and lack of replayability leave this brawler best left in the past.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a compelling story, with users noting it offers an extremely basic gameplay experience that fails to justify its $29.99 price tag. Overall, it is seen as a mediocre option for passing the time.

    • “It was a decent way to pass the time, but offered no story, extremely basic gameplay, and a very subpar experience for $29.99.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is considered minimal and largely dependent on playing with friends, as the gameplay is described as basic and repetitive. While it may provide some laughs in a group setting, many reviewers suggest that there are better options available for the price.

  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is closely tied to its roots in the 2012 series, with character designs and locations reflecting that original aesthetic. However, the reviews do not provide significant insights into the depth or evolution of the characters themselves.

  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is surprisingly fair, dispelling initial concerns about it being a cash grab given the publisher's reputation.

    • “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is not the steaming cash grab that you might have assumed by seeing the publisher involved.”
