The concept of the Strange Scaffold is unusual, but it still looks promising… and now we know when it will be available to play, although it should be added that it’s only announced for one platform at the moment.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is the first-ever turn-based Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game. Inspired by the classic cartoon, you’ll experience a bold new approach to the world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Splinter and Shredder are dead, and as the Turtles approach adulthood, they’re not just growing up… they’re growing apart. Battle the Foot Clan as a powerful new leader takes control in action-packed campaigns that showcase each Turtle individually.
Slash through enemies in 20 constantly mutating levels that grow, shrink and add new threats with each turn, inspired by classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games! Collect points for high scores while experiencing a powerful original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story from acclaimed indie studio Strange Scaffold. This is the next step for Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael – and you can experience it with flying, slashing characters in graphic novel-inspired glory.
The twenty action-packed levels are divided into campaigns that focus on individual characters. A unique take on the world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the minds of Strange Scaffold (Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, I Am Your Beast). The innovative turn-based beat ’em up combat is complete with mutating arenas and a gorgeous graphic novel-inspired art style with paint splatters, figures and diorama set pieces. There are customizable movesets to shape each turtle’s play style, and the thumping, multi-genre soundtrack is by award-winning composer RJ Lake (Unbeatable, El Paso, Elsewhere).
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown will be released on May 22nd for PC (Steam). There’s no word yet on whether it will be coming to consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch), but if there’s a lot of interest in the Strange Scaffold concept, it’s only a matter of time before a console conversion of the turtles’ round-based story is announced.
