TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge Gets New Custom Game Updates & Retro Options

If you wish the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is a tad more retro -like 90s hard as hell- Dotemu and Tribute Games have you covered!

The devs have released a new update for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, which lets you create Custom Games with loads of options, retro-themed filters, and more. Here’s the full list:

New Features

• Gameplay – A new Arcade mode is here: Custom Game! Just like an actual arcade machine: customize your game experience using DIP switches: free play, old-school Super Attacks, faster enemies, no more taunts, and many more! You can see the customization in the lobbies of Custom Games.
• Achievements’ progression and unlocking is disabled in Custom Games.
• Online – In the Character Select menu, the host can now set a maximum number of players for the lobby.
• Graphics – Added come awesome filters: CRT (normal or curved) and VCR! Check them out in the Options menu.

Fixes

Gameplay

• Fixed rare crash in Arcade mode when changing difficulty.
• Cars can no longer deal massive damage when the player is considered Armored (for example: charging a Heavy Swing).
• Fixed bosses sometimes unable to reach a player positioned at the very top or bottom of the stage.
• Fixed bosses sometimes frozen after being hit by Raphael’s Super Flying Attack.
• Fixed Score not kept for player when switching character after a continue.
• Fixed April’s Super Flying Attack sometimes seemingly reviving KO’ed enemies.
• Fixed reviving a KO player near the transition point (for example: escalators in the Crystal Palace Mall) that would sometimes prevent progression.
• Fixed updating the timer for special statuses (for example: Infinite Ninja Power) when KO or in a cutscene.

Online

• Guest players can now rejoin the same hosted game.

Input

• Fixed input not correctly assessed when selecting between Backflip or Roundoff when turning around.

Menus

• Fixed rare soft lock occurring in the World Map if the user completed Stage 8 after finishing Stage 10.

Improvements

Gameplay

• Taunt now only fills up the first Ninja Power bar.
• We no longer clear fully accumulated Ninja Power bars when KO on Chill difficulty.
• Doing a throw now grants the player invulnerability.
• Added more feedback in the HUD when trying to do a Super Attack without enough Ninja Power.
• Many small animation tweaks were made to all bosses, often to make attacks easier to read.
• Fixed Dirtbag’s dig holes collision detection that was too wide and deep.
• Reduced the number of enemies spawned in Zorax’s stampede and the frequency of stampedes. Zorax also has a bit less health when facing multiple players.
• Rat King now does Pied Piper less frequently.
• Improved the Super Shredder fight in many small ways for a smoother pacing and tweaked some damage values. His grab is now used more frequently and is more efficient, though. Bummer dude!
• Improved Statue of Tyranny pacing and tweaked some damage values.
• Mother Mouser has a new bite animation to differentiate the charge bite from the idle bite, to give players time to react.
• Mouser Model 3 and Mother Mouser are now acting a bit faster.
• Radical Mode damage multiplier is now applied to all throws, Super Dive Attack, and charged Heavy Swing.
• Fixed players sometimes falling outside of the screen repeatedly when respawning, at specific locations.

Online

• Added a Refresh button to the lobby search list.
• We improved the way the Arcade score is calculated: we now record each player individually, even if they leave the game.

Localization

• Corrected or improved a few strings in Spanish, French and German.

Menus

• The game will remember if How To Play was seen before, separately in Story and Arcade modes as they differ.
• Improved the prompt to reset your story and character progress.
• Pause menu in Arcade mode now shows the total play time.

Steam

• Steam Input: improved support for PlayStation 5 controllers.
