Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is like a spiritual successor to both the ’80s cartoon and the last great game in the series, Turtles in Time. The famous turtles, along with April and Splinter, were enjoying some pizza one fine evening when they saw Shredder playing his old tricks on the news.
The group heads to the TV station to see what’s going on, leading to a chase to stop Krang from getting his machines back. That is the gist of the plot of this game.
In this article, learn some tips for playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, to help new players get used to the mechanics and get off to a fresh start.
Tips for playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
The game has 3 difficulty levels
There are no support options in TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. However, new players should not worry because there are 3 difficulty levels to choose from, the easiest being Chill and Gnarly being the hardest.
There is no way to change these settings after starting the game, so players should choose wisely. For those who plan to play alone, can choose Chill will be better. If playing with a full squad, Gnarly or Okay is the most suitable option.
Don’t skip instructions
There is no standard tutorial stage in the game. Instead, there will be about 20 pop-ups that guide you through the basic moves of the characters.
While it’s easy for gamers to figure out the mechanics for themselves, it only takes a few minutes to go through this small selection. It is essential to see some unique moves like grabbing opponents and throwing them on the screen, as it can be useful in the match.
Co-op combat experience
Co-op in this game allows the formation of groups of 6, with almost every character in the game, except Casey Jones. Players can co-op using the local feature or find rooms online. Rated as one of the most powerful co-op experiences, players should definitely try playing with a full squad.
Character selection when playing solo
Every character will work in solo mode but Donatello has a lot of side advantages. For example, Donatello’s staff gives him a good attack range. Characters will level up so players should stick with one character for the first few levels.
To make the experience in TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge easier, players can go to the hidden menu and look in the Fitness Journal. This will show the details of when the character levels up based on points and achievements.
Character change
Unlike Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game also has a world map, the method of changing characters is a bit different in TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. Players can return to the map, pick a new character, then return to where they left off.
In Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game, every character has to work through the levels like it’s always a new experience. This makes overcoming everyone’s challenges simpler. Thankfully, Shredder’s Revenge is better designed and some players may want to know how it works before entering the level.
Attention to challenges
Challenges are something quite new to the brawler genre or at least in the TMNT series. Each stage will have a set amount of goals in it.
One might ask the player to kill a certain number of enemies with jump attacks, while another might ask the player to avoid being hit by traps.
Completing these challenges players will earn points to level up. It’s a good way to level up early, so before starting a level, players should pause the game and check the challenges in action.
Eating tips
This is a basic brawler tip, but for those who are new to the genre. Pizza will appear randomly in the game as a way to replenish the character’s health. Once caught, it will be destroyed immediately, so there is no way to save it.
Unless one is dying, it’s best to avoid getting the pizza until that area is completed. If playing in co-op, the player should give the pizza to whoever has the lowest health.
Find hidden quests
Challenges are not the only thing that players need to keep in mind in Shredder’s Revenge. Most levels have a hidden character like April’s boss, Burne Thompson. Finding him will unlock a side quest on the world map in which the player must hunt down a number of old newspapers.
Completing this mission will help the player gain experience points. The stages are relatively short so it’s better for the gamer to play through them once at random and then come back with a comb. This is another effective way to level up.
