Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown puts the heroes in a half shell into their own close-quarters strategy game.
Announced during the PC Gaming Show Most Wanted, Tactical Takedown puts the turtles in a series of close-quarters fights. Borrowing a toybox style that turns Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Leonardo into tabletop-style miniatures, the game doesn’t give your turtles much room to maneuver in its grid-based environments, but that has a couple of benefits.
I’m not a huge Turtles fan, but the combo of tabletop style and defenestrative gameplay does have me quite excited for Tactical Takedown, especially since it comes from Strange Scaffold, developers of the well-received I am Your Beast and El Paso, Elsewhere. Unfortunately, there’s no release date for this world premiere just yet, but it’s available to wishlist on Steam right now, so keep your eyes peeled.
