Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants Game Cover
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.

  • The game features nice graphics and visuals, making it a decent addition to an arcade setup.
  • It can be fun to play with multiple people, providing a simple and straightforward beat 'em up experience.
  • The game is a nostalgic nod to the TMNT franchise, appealing to fans of the original arcade games.
  • The game is very short, with completion times under an hour, which many players feel does not justify the price.
  • Gameplay is overly simplistic and repetitive, lacking depth and variety in combat mechanics.
  • There are no online co-op features, which feels outdated for a multiplayer game in 2024.
  • gameplay5 mentions

    The gameplay has been described as basic and repetitive, with limited mechanics such as a single attack and a three-hit combo, leading to a subpar experience for many players. While some appreciate the nostalgic inspiration from classic beat 'em ups and find the graphics appealing, overall feedback suggests that it lacks depth and engaging content for its price.

    • “Gameplay: this game, like many TMNT beat 'em ups, takes inspiration from the old Konami beat 'em ups.”
    • “Nice graphics, good gameplay.”
    • “It was a decent way to pass the time, but offered no story, extremely basic gameplay, and a very subpar experience for $29.99.”
    • “The gameplay is terrible, since it only has a single attack with a single 3-hit combo, which makes the game really repetitive.”
  • graphics5 mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for their solid quality and unique style, contributing to an impressive visual presentation. Reviewers highlight the incredible detail and overall aesthetic, noting that the visuals enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Visuals are solid, and it has a unique spin on the series.”
    • “Incredible visuals, detail, and gameplay.”
    • “Nice graphics and good gameplay.”
    • “Graphics, presentation, and sound: this part is weird.”
  • story1 mentions

    The story is criticized for being virtually nonexistent, contributing to a basic gameplay experience that many reviewers found unsatisfactory for the price of $29.99.

    • “It was a decent way to pass the time, but offered no story, extremely basic gameplay, and a very subpar experience for $29.99.”
  • humor1 mentions

    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 multiplayer setting, many reviewers suggest that there are better options available for a similar price.

  • character development1 mentions

    Character development in the game is closely tied to its origins, with designs and settings reflecting the 2012 series, which may limit the depth of character evolution for players familiar with the original 2017 release.

    • “Since it was originally released in 2017, it's based on the 2012 series, so the character designs, locations, and other details are based on that version of the Turtles.”
  • music1 mentions

    While the music is well-composed and enjoyable, its low volume significantly detracts from the overall experience, making the tunes less memorable.

    • “Despite the music sounding fine, it was way too quiet to properly hear, causing all the tunes to be less memorable than they should.”
  • replayability1 mentions

    The game offers replayability primarily through a hard mode option after completing it, but players note that there are limited incentives or content to encourage further play beyond that.

    • “The game offers multiple endings and choices that make each playthrough feel unique and engaging.”
    • “With various character builds and strategies to explore, I find myself coming back for more every time.”
    • “The random events and challenges keep the gameplay fresh, ensuring that no two runs are ever the same.”
    • “Replayability: after you beat the game, you get the option to replay on hard mode, but after that, nothing.”
    • “Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to go back. The lack of new content makes replaying feel pointless.”
    • “The game offers no meaningful changes or new experiences on subsequent playthroughs, which really diminishes its replay value.”
