A Shell-Shocking History
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles burst onto the scene in the late 1980s as a comic book, and their popularity soon led to an animated TV series, action figures, and, of course, video games. Over the years, they’ve had their fair share of gaming adventures, but none have captured the essence of their classic beat 'em up arcade days quite like Shredder’s Revenge Anniversary Edition.
Released in celebration of the franchise’s enduring legacy, this game is a love letter to the Turtles’ fans, old and new.

Plot and Characters
A Multiversal Melee
In Shredder’s Revenge Anniversary Edition, the story kicks off with a pizza party gone awry as the Neutrinos crash the Turtles’ celebration. It quickly becomes evident that trouble is brewing from beyond dimensions as Shredder himself seeks to conquer the multiverse. Our heroes must jump between dimensions to put a stop to his nefarious plans once and for all.
Survival Mode - A New Dimension
One of the standout features of this anniversary edition is the introduction of Survival Mode. In this thrilling game mode, players collect crystals, upgrade their characters, and even mutate into some of their greatest foes as they brawl across dimensions, each with its unique look and feel. It’s a fresh twist on the classic beat 'em up formula that adds depth and replayability.
A Cast of Heroes and Villains
The game boasts a roster of nine playable characters, including the four Turtles - Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael - as well as fan-favorites like Casey Jones, April, and Splinter. But the excitement doesn’t stop there; two new fighters have joined the fray in this anniversary edition - Usagi Yojimbo and Karai.
