Turn-Based Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game Announced

Move over, Splinter—there’s a new strategy sensei in town! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown has just been announced, and it’s ready to bring turn-based tactics to PC sometime next year. If you’re a fan of quick-thinking strategy and the world’s most radical reptiles, this might just be your next obsession.

What sets Tactical Takedown apart? For starters, battles are designed to last just a few minutes, perfect for bite-sized bursts of mutant mayhem. Each mini-campaign focuses on one of the four iconic Turtles, highlighting their unique abilities and adding a layer of strategy to their pizza-fueled antics. Think Hoplite meets the sewers of New York—a tantalising mix for fans of both tactical games and the TMNT universe.

On top of that, this project comes from Strange Scaffold, the indie studio behind hits like I Am Your Beast and Clickolding. It’s an unexpected pairing, but hey, the Turtles thrive on surprises (and, of course, pizza).

This announcement is the latest in a string of TMNT game releases. From the nostalgic arcade thrills of Shredder’s Revenge to the roguelike chaos of Splintered Fate, our favourite heroes in a half-shell have been keeping busy. Still, Tactical Takedown stands out with its fresh approach to Turtle action.

Whether you’re here for the quick skirmishes, the nostalgic vibes, or the sheer novelty of a turn-based TMNT game, this is shaping up to be a shell-tastic addition to your library. Check out the Steam page for more screenshots and details—you know you want to.
