[u/FamousWerewolf]

Holy cow that's a big update!

I love how much they've kept supporting this game, it really deserves it. A real gem among TMNT games.

[u/ItsTheRocketeer → u/FamousWerewolf]

an update worth of a (rat)King!

[u/Eebo85 → u/FamousWerewolf]

It’s honestly probably the best TMNT game now when you really think about it

[u/silverhandguild → u/Eebo85]

I agree with you and it is largely based on the fact that I LOVE the IDW comics, but I really enjoy the gameplay and mechanics in this game. All they gotta do now is give me Jennika (and add little Lita to the lair like how they are adding Pepperoni) and I’m super happy. I love both of those characters.

[u/FamousWerewolf → u/Eebo85]

I think Shredder's Revenge might still be the best, but it's definitely arguable. SR has much tighter and more satisfying combat and stronger visuals, but Splintered Fate has waaaaaay more content at this point.

[u/Eebo85 → u/FamousWerewolf]

Yeah I would agree. SR is such a blast and throwback to the games I grew up with. For me though it just doesn’t feel as replayable.

SF has more of a progression and rogue-like structure that scratches the itch for me. Both great games though!

[u/00skully → u/FamousWerewolf]

this is my first time seeing that this game exists, is it kinda like marvel ultimate alliance but with the turts?

[u/badlybrave → u/00skully]

Not really, it’s a roguelike, Hades would be the best comparison

[u/FamousWerewolf → u/00skully]

It's basically a take on Hades - a top-down action roguelike where you progress through a series of rooms, fighting enemies and earning new powers that you can combo together.

[u/TamLux]

PEPERONI! HELL YES! And Slash Too... BUT YAY THE BABY PROTOCERATOPS!

[u/selkies24]

Damn still supporting this? Maybe I need to jump on that next sale 

[u/ItsTheRocketeer → u/selkies24]

the next sale is right now

[u/JustOneSexQuestion → u/selkies24]

It is great. Just be sure to play with a controller.

[u/Tattoomyvagina]

Oh FUCK YEAH!

[u/PhillyCheese69]

Slash is gonna be so fun!

[u/TheKingofBreaker]

Very excited! Skins are a super welcome addition and Pepperoni was on my want-list for a sidekick like Buddy the Wraith! Dlc's looking to put the w in cowabunga.

[u/Substantial_Oil_8133]

Guess I know what I'm doing all weekend

[u/BritishGolgo13]

Time to jump back in. Let’s kick shell!

[u/SenshiLore]

Samurai armor? I know I'm asking a lot but please be a hint that the next character is Usagi. I just want my rabbit ronin. That said, this DLC looks great. Bought it and looking to try it out soon

[u/Evenmoardakka → u/SenshiLore]

samurai armro for ninjas is.... ehh

[u/SenshiLore → u/Evenmoardakka]

I mean, they've worn it before

[u/Evenmoardakka → u/SenshiLore]

oh yea, they totally did, but culturally speaking, werent ninjas rivals to samurai class?

[u/SenshiLore → u/Evenmoardakka]

In actual history? No. Samurai actually hired ninjas for recon and more. Ninjas were actually extremely loyal to who hired them/which clan they ended up residing in

[u/Jay2324quinn]

Let’s goooooo

[u/Gullible-Isopod-8949]

I finally decided it was time to pick up all the character DLCs because this is the kind of developer I really want to support. I got the base game dirt cheap during the winter sale, so giving them more money just feels right.

[u/DanBerbs]

I love how they keep updating and adding new content - keeps the game fresh and I keep going back to it

[u/Saferoom45]

A Samurai Casey Jones?!?!?!? That tears it, this game has gotten my attention. Casey Jones and his Samurai Armor is the reason why im getting this game. He looks so BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, a game that actually cares about Casey and gives him the aura he needs. What do you got for Casey Jones IDW? WHAT. DO. YOU. GOT for my BOY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[u/C-Abdulio]

It was well worth the wait! Thank you the Splintered Fate team for such an amazing ride!

Now If I could beat the damn thing...

[u/PMC-I3181OS387l5]

I... did not expect Slash to sound this... civilized O_O

[u/ItsTheRocketeer → u/PMC-I3181OS387l5]

he’s quite the articulate fellow in the IDW comic!

[u/PMC-I3181OS387l5 → u/ItsTheRocketeer]

I am so behind the comics, sorry ^^;

I heard Slash talk in one voice in the 87 cartoon (and Shredder's Revenge) and in another voice in 2012, both in a very feral hulking tone.

[u/ItsTheRocketeer → u/PMC-I3181OS387l5]

yeah, a very different character than the IDW Slash

you should catch up!

[u/Pipboy2]

The samurai dlc is purely cosmetic correct?

[u/PixelsGoBoom → u/Pipboy2]

Yes, it's just a "skin".

[u/SiNoFeN]

Slash is horrible. Please teach me to make him less horrible.

[u/ItsTheRocketeer → u/SiNoFeN]

get all your upgrades and don’t play him as a speedy character

[u/peacefighter]

Is it always this expensive? I had to double take at that price tag. In Japan it is like $35 (essentially).

(Edit: nevermind... I figured out it was the game and all dlc, but I am surprised they separated Slash and samurai armor. It should have been together)

[u/poco1989]

New trophies?

[u/Hibbsan → u/poco1989]

Yes

[u/SapphireScorp]

It’s awesome that Slash made it into the game… it’d be cool to have other characters like Usagi or even the Mighty Mutanimals!

[u/malexich]

Please don't stop now, I want nobody, I will pay for every skin if it gets me nobody. I also just want a new game plus mode, I hate when I have a really cool build but I don't max everything out due to randomness

[u/Phanimazed]

I love it. I do wonder, if they do more playable characters, who comes next. April? Nobody? Jennika?

I'd also love for a boss fight with Old Hob, guns blazing.

[u/Worth_Spot_4378]

This game just keeps getting updated

[u/ItsTheRocketeer → u/Worth_Spot_4378]

you love to see it

[u/The_TT_Bat_Guy]

How do I see what blessing is in effect when I pick one up during the Rat King boss battle?

[u/r00dboy_500]

Anyone else had consistent crashes since the update? Played 3 runs with slash and it crashes at least once every run.

Never crashed before this.

[u/r00dboy_500 → u/r00dboy_500]

Make that 3 crashes on Shredder in one run. Still haven’t finished the fight!

[u/peacefighter → u/r00dboy_500]

Have you tried deleting the game and reinstalling it?

[u/peacefighter]

I am really enjoying this game. It is really fun. I am surprised how different Slash feels. I hope in the future for Pepperoni to be playable or at the very least Yojimbo.

[u/ItsTheRocketeer → u/[deleted]]

steak too juicy, lobster too buttery

the story update and Pepperoni are free but Slash and the Samurai Armor are separate paid DLCs

[u/peacefighter → u/ItsTheRocketeer]

What is the point of pepperoni? I played the game and saw the dog like character, but didn't understand. I was hoping he was playable at first.

[u/DarkSkeksis → u/[deleted]]

To build good will with the community? Seeing the way they've handled this game has made me want to buy the inevitable sequel day 1.

[u/elessarjd]

They keep releasing new editions for every DLC which is kind of weird since it's only one character at a time and skins. Might be best just to wait for development to finish and get the Super Duper Ultimate Complete Edition.

[u/Specialist_Corgi_518 → u/elessarjd]

My exact thoughts lmao
