Just last year, we got a 3DS action brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a tie-in with the animated Nickelodeon show. The show is still underway, which is probably why there’s a second game heading to stores sometime this Fall: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze.
No, it’s not based around the classic film of a similar title, but this game is being developed by WayForward and is planned as a Metroidvania-style 2D platformer. Here’s what the press release has to say about it:
“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze brings together new locations, allies and threats! The game quickly heats up as Shredder, Tiger Claw and a new army of mutants threaten the streets of New York, forcing Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo to take action into their own hands. The game’s distinguishing feature is its vast, interconnected, non-linear game world, which rewards exploration and creative thinking. Powers, upgrades and equipment scattered across New York and Dimension X opens up new environments to traverse, secrets to discover and bosses to battle.
All four Turtles can be swapped between freely throughout the adventure, and each has his own unique rhythm, with specialized stats, strengths and skills. Combat is fast-paced, emphasizing the gang’s martial arts prowess through attack and item combos, counters and finishers, but also provides tools for stealth-based approaches to avoid or tackle enemies.”
Sounds like it’s designed to appeal to anyone who the first game didn’t appeal to, so keep an eye out if you’re a Turtles fan.
