Making us feel like we have all the powers and skills of our most beloved fictional characters is one of the most often-broken promises licensed video games make, and indeed, TMNT: Out of the Shadows barely gets out of the gate before that familiar feeling of disappointment sets in. As I clumsily lurched through the tutorial, clipping through doors while the frame rate struggled to keep up, it was hard to shake the feeling that I was in for an unmitigated disaster. But once I settled into the decidedly off-beat groove of its combat, TMNTOOTS pulled its nose up a bit, comfortably averting a crash, but without ever truly soaring either.
Developer Red Fly’s unabashed love of Turtle Power is the best thing about TMNTOOTS, and it shines through in every Mikey one-liner and in the many nuances baked into the combat system. Each turtle's personality is conveyed clearly through their diverse fighting styles, and their seemingly endless number of customizable skills. Seriously, beat-'em-ups have no business being this deep. There's more character progression in TMNTOOTS than in a lot of modern RPGs I could name, and deciding how to build each turtle out is surprisingly tough and rewarding.
