Our take on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown
Instead of using the continuous action associated with beat-em-ups, the game moves combat into turn-based arenas that change during play. Its 20-level structure divides the campaign around individual Turtles, while the story centers on their transition into adulthood and growing separation.
What is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown?

Combat includes customizable movesets for shaping each Turtle’s playstyle, while scoring gives battles a high-score objective.
