History VideoGame / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesShreddersRevenge

''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles: Shredder's Revenge'' is a BeatEmUp game developed by Creator/TributeGames (''VideoGame/PanzerPaladin'', ''VideoGame/MercenaryKings''), published by Dotemu (''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage4'', ''[[VideoGame/MetalSlug Metal Slug Tactics]]''), and created by the team who worked on ''VideoGame/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorldTheGame'' and the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance tie-in for ''VideoGame/{{TMNT}}''. It is based on the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 1987 cartoon]], and was released for PC, Platform/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch on June 16, 2022 followed with mobile ports released on January 12, 2023 via {{Creator/Netflix}} subscription.

* ConsoleCameo: Donatello plays with a classic gray UsefulNotes/GameBoy in his taunt animation, and the Foot Soldiers can occasionally be seen playing them too.

** The ''Dimension Shellshock'' DLC's Survival Mode features an area that's done entirely with 8-bit [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] style sprites, as an homage to the Konami ''TMNT'' games of the period for that console. The songs for this area, "I 8 a Bit Much" and "Nostalgia Evoking Song", are also done in an emulation of the NES's sound chip. In addition, two sets of alternate skins for the playable characters are done in the styles of Konami's NES games and GreenBoyColor.

** There's an achievement called "Mode 7", which is accomplished by throwing a certain number of enemies at the screen. This references the Mode 7 graphics mode the UsefulNotes/{{Super Nintendo|Entertainment System}} had which allowed for scaling and rotating effects and became a sort of shorthand reference for their use in games, though the SNES port of ''Turtles in Time'' didn't actually use said mode.

* BroadStrokes: The game is described to take place in an "idealized" continuity by the developers, due to much of the 1987 cartoon having very loose serialization, with the back half of the game [[spoiler:revealing it to in fact be a [[StealthSequel continuation]] of Season 10, due to the dilapidated Technodrome from that season making an appearance, but the game's overall tone leans toward the earlier seasons]]. It also contains elements of the older video games that weren't in the show itself, such as the Rat King having a crashed Footski from the SNES ''Turtles in Time'', as well as the Foot Clan stealing the Statue of Liberty for their evil plot from the same game. It also results in the game introducing Usagi and Karai, the former whose name and personality are [[TruerToTheText based more closely]] off of his comics, and the latter who was never formally introduced in the 1987 cartoon's continuity, but the game acts as if [[RememberTheNewGuy she was otherwise always present]].

** Rat King's rat-controlling music doesn't affect Splinter as a player character, [[[[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987S03E09EnterTheRatKing despite demonstrably doing so in the show]]. You even get an achievement for beating Rat King as Splinter, called "Ineffective!"

** [[spoiler: Super Shredder is completely untouchable no matter what he does. The only way to damage him is to wait before he finishes warping his body or take out 4 shadow clones at each corner of the arena -- he rests on the ground, providing a brief opportunity to strike.]]

** The themes for Omnichannel 6 in Survival mode, "Believable Source" and "Artifical Facts", both incorporate parts of the melody from "Jaw-Breaking News!", making it into a leitmotif for Channel 6.

** Raphael has great speed and power, at the trade off of having awful range.

** Karai's unique gameplay mechanic is that she receives a speed buff the more she combos enemies, indicated by her sparking with electricity. Her charge increases her movement speed and decreases the length of her taunt, allowing her to continue comboing enemies and build up her super meter more easily. However, she will lose her charge if she gets hit or if she hasn't hit an enemy in a while.

** Karai isn't terribly fanservicy during gameplay, but her victory pose at the end of each level shows off that she's wearing form-fitting pants and has a shapely backside.

** The Survival Mode has two slightly different endings after beating Shredder on a given run. If you decide to end the run right then and there and go home, the Neutrinos will thank you and give you pizza from across the multiverse. Though if you decide to continue your run and eventually die, you'll get another ending where the Neutrinos still thank you with pizza, but wince upon seeing the injuries you've sustained.
* TheMultiverse: Survival mode in the ''Dimension Shellshock'' DLC features the Turtles traveling through various dimensions that represent different incarnations of the franchise, such as [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the Mirage comics]] and [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheArcadeGame the NES version of the arcade game]]. This also allows them to team up with Karai (who is based mostly on her appearance in [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 the 2003 cartoon]]) and Usagi (who comes from [[ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo his own universe]]).

* NewGamePlus: The story mode offers a variant in that if you choose to start a new game in order to reset the challenges and collectables, it will ask you if you want to retain your current progression on the characters or reset them back to zero.

* NintendoHard:
** Good luck trying to clear a stage that challenges you to not get hit even ''once''.
** Gnarly difficulty is exactly what the average players can expect from previous ''TMNT'' installments. Certain enemies hit much harder than they would have on Chill and Okay levels, and the bosses take a lot of punishment. Arcade Mode only offers 3 continues, as well as only one Ninja Power bar to use - both factors only add up to the difficulty. If even ''that'' is considered too easy for certain players, the Custom Game menu added in the December 2022 update allows them to make the experience ''even harder.''
** The Survival Mode itself in a nutshell. If the players manage to defeat [[spoiler:Super Shredder]] but choose to continue, they'll be in for a hard time indeed. From the second loop onwards, enemies become much stronger.

* MultipleEndings: The ending will have different epilogue scenes depending on which character(s) you beat the game as.

** Pressing the jump and attack buttons simultaneously makes your character do a Shoryuken-style jumping attack, which naturally works well in this regard.
** On the enemies' side, the Triceratons will stab at you with their horns if you try jumping at them. It's obviously still ''possible'' to attack them with jump attacks, but it'll usually only work when they're distracted and/or stuck in the middle of one of their own attack animations.

* PowerCreep: All six characters available at the start of the game have 6 points spread between 3 stats. The three unlockable/[=DLC=] characters have ''7'' points spread between the 3 stats, so they're all at least average at everything and a master of one attribute.

** Rat King's rat-controlling music doesn't affect Splinter as a player character, despite demonstrably doing so in the show. You even get an achievement for beating Rat King as Splinter, called "Ineffective!"

* PowerCreep: All six characters available at the start of the game have 6 points spread between 3 stats. The three unlockable/[=DLC=] characters have ''7'' points spread between the 3 stats.

* AbnormalAmmo: The red Foot Soldiers use crossbows loaded with toilet plungers.
