TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge Mobile
The «Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles» were hugely popular in the 1990s. And they’re still popular today. «TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge Mobile» uses the familiar formula: you play the role either of Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo or characters like April or Splinter. Then it’s into an old-school beat-em-up format where you fight your way through levels that scroll sideways, defeating lots of enemies as you go. The graphics and gameplay hark back to the great Pixel era of beat-em-ups. Why invent something new when all that’s needed is a little fine-tuning? If you like classic beat-em-ups, make sure you give this a try.
