Cowabunga! ‘TMNT: Splintered Fate’ Smashes onto PC

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back in action, and this time, they’re bringing their signature pizza-fueled chaos to the world of roguelikes! Super Evil Megacorp has officially launched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate on PC, following its strong debut on mobile platforms. Fans of the heroes in a half-shell will now be able to join Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael as they battle their way across interdimensional landscapes. Their mission? Save their sensei, Splinter, from a mysterious kidnapping that has them neck-deep in trouble.

Building off their reputation of crafting visually impressive and highly replayable games, Super Evil Megacorp (developers of Vainglory) bring their talents to the TMNT universe with frenetic combat and a host of enemies, bosses, and intense thrills. Splintered Fate isn’t just a casual beat-‘em-up; it throws players into a roguelike twist where every run offers new challenges. Fail? You’re sent back to the start—but armed with new knowledge and power-ups to help in your next attempt. The unpredictability of the levels keeps things exciting as no two runs are the same.

What to Expect From ‘Splintered Fate’

The game’s core loop is rooted in classic roguelike mechanics, but with a TMNT flair that fans of the franchise are sure to appreciate. Picture it: you and your co-op buddies tearing through Foot Clan goons one second, only to be slamming into a boss fight with Krang or Shredder the next. The pace is relentless, but that’s what makes it so engaging. There’s little downtime in your mission to rescue Splinter.

Each turtle brings their own style to the fight. Leo’s leadership manifests in precise sword slashes, while Donnie’s brainy approach means you can expect tech-savvy attacks and gadgets galore. Mikey, of course, comes in with his unpredictable, rapid-fire nunchucks, and Raph bulldozes through enemies with brute force. This diversity not only keeps the gameplay fresh but also invites players to experiment in co-op or on solo runs to see which turtle best suits their playstyle.

But don’t go in expecting a walk in the sewers—the game’s procedural levels and enemy layouts will challenge even veteran roguelike players. And every defeat brings new opportunities for better strategies, upgraded abilities, and different approaches. Progression feels tangible, and the more you play, the more rewarding it becomes. Unlockables, skill upgrades, and even secrets are scattered across the game, keeping you glued to your screen for “just one more run.”

Co-op Fun and Roguelike Reunion

One of the standout elements of Splintered Fate is the drop-in/drop-out co-op. Whether you want to team up with someone from your couch or across the globe, the game’s multiplayer functionality is smooth and easy to pick up. (Just make sure your friends know who gets to chow down on the pizza power-ups, because those are clutch when you’re on low health!)

The roguelike format is perfect for this setup. No matter who you’re playing with, each run can be tackled differently, allowing teams to adapt on the fly. It’s a perfect recipe for some chaotic, laugh-out-loud moments or moments of intense strategizing as you face tougher enemies and bosses.

Tips for New Players

Ready to dive into the seedy underbellies of TMNT: Splintered Fate? A few tips before you begin your mission:

1. Prioritize Pizza! – Pizza pickups are your lifeline. If you’re running low, don’t hesitate to call dibs when you see one. Share if necessary, but hoard wisely.

2. Use Your Relics Right – Throughout each run, you’ll find special relics that can enhance your character’s abilities. Pick the ones that complement your playstyle—or experiment. Finding the right relic combo can be the difference between a 10-minute run and a 30-minute boss fight.

3. Learn From Defeat – Every run might end in defeat, but each failure brings new knowledge. Pay attention to enemy patterns, upgrade wisely, and most importantly, don’t get discouraged. The game’s built to reward persistence.

4. Co-op Communication is Key – If you’re playing multiplayer, talking with your teammates is vital. Whether it’s calling out enemies or coordinating pizza pickups, communication can save your shell.
