Explained simply
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is an action game where players control the four famous turtles in combat situations, developed by Super Evil Megacorp in partnership with publisher Nighthawk Interactive. The game belongs to the roguelike genre, a type of game where players undertake multiple runs against increasing challenges, restarting when defeated but gradually improving their skills and strategies.
The game has found significant commercial success since its digital launch, selling more than one million copies worldwide. Physical copies of games remain popular with players, particularly on Nintendo consoles, so a physical release gives fans another way to own the game beyond digital downloads.
