Tactical Takedown is the first turn-based game in the franchise's long history

There's a new TMNT game in town, and it's unlike anything the franchise has attempted before. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Eliminationas the name suggests, is a turn-based strategy RPG. This means that players will control characters on a grid-based map, with each turn representing a move or action of some kind.

There is one thing that sets this game apart from its SRPG cousins. Battles take “minutes”, which is a far cry from affairs that take a long time. . Based on the trailer, the battles seem even faster than the Mario + Rabbids series. Additionally, players control each turtle independently in a single-player campaign before teaming up to take on a boss.

The graphics are cartoon-like and on-brand, evoking a tabletop session with D&D miniatures. It seems like all of the turtle's favorite haunts are represented here, from the sewers to the New York City subway. This could be a good way to attract new players to the genre.

It's a unique entry in the TMNT franchise, but it's also a new type of game for developer Scaffold Games. This is the company that brought us the and third-person shooter . The company also made I am your beast And Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator. None of these titles are turn-based tactical RPGs.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Elimination will be released on PC next year. You can pre-order the game . Publisher Paramount Game Studios hasn't said anything about a possible console release, so maybe wait until you have that pizza party.
