Look, I’m excited Saints Row i Marvel: Midnight Suns and all the other big announcements from Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase. But my favorite ad of all worries Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Yes, today Geoff Keighley has revealed that for the first time in a TMNT passionate, intrepid television reporter and monkey enthusiast April O’Neil will break Foot Clan skulls alongside her mutated reptilian friends.
Shredder’s revenge it was revealed earlier this year and was immediately expected among many who loved the legendary Konami TMNT beat-em-ups from the 80s and 90s. With its pixelated images and vibrant colors, Shredder’s revenge clearly seeks to follow in the footsteps of these games, in which you played as Raphael (or some other turtle if you like the less cool ones) as you fight through hordes of Foot Clan soldiers, sometimes jumping through time. and, finally, always saving the day of the evil Crusher and his companions.
However, poor April O’Neil never had anything to do in these games except be in danger and need rescue. Today’s revelation not only showed that it joined the list of playable characters, but also indicated that Tribute Games developers bring the same level of care to their attacks and animations that lead them to the titular heroes.
In the revealing trailer, not only do you see her unleashing powerful bursts of punches, punches, and twist attacks, but at one point she drops the literal microphone (a trade tool in her work as a reporter) to a foot clan soldier. . A highlight of the original revealing trailer was to see how each of the four turtles has different race animations that indicate their distinctive personalities (of course, Raphael is the funniest and fiercest), so it’s great to see that April lends itself to him. the same attention.
There are reasons to have hope Shredder’s revenge, with Dotemu overseeing the game’s publishing tasks. In recent years they have participated in various games that want to pay homage to the past and, at the same time, feel fresh and current, including the great Wonder Boy: The Dragon Trap (a remake of a 1989 Sega Master System classic) and 2020 Streets of Rage 4. Shredder’s revenge is scheduled for version 2022 for PC and Switch.
