“Tonight I dine on turtle soup” -Shredder. I personally think I’d rather order a pizza instead, I’m sure our favorite heroes in a half-shell would agree. A new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) game has been recently released on Android, and to a rather positive reception.
Some of us here at DroidGamers have a keen eye for the retro, and have been pleased with the reboots and subsequent popularity of ’80s franchises and subsequent android games like G.I. Joe, He-Man, and Transformers. One can suppose that it was only a matter of time before the mean green fighting machines smashed through the manhole and leapt out of the sewers and straight onto your Android device.
In the vein of the old school, side-scrolling, beat-em-ups of yore, in this new TMNT entry, players will find themselves in the predicament of having to deal with hordes of enemies to defeat in order to progress through the game. To be fair, this title is a 2.5D side scrolling turtle-em-up, yet it stays true to the highly venerated and pixel powered 2D TMNT games of the past such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (arcade game) and Turtles in Time. As a side note, the competent developers of Combo Crew are behind this project, and they have a solid track record and penchant for punchy brawlers in their resumé.
