When it comes to favorite game characters of the FC era, what would be your answer?
Is it a plumber with a red hat? A muscular macho man fighting with aliens? Or a fast blue hedgehog? My answer was a little more peculiar—four big pizza-loving turtles.
When I was a child, playing games was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, watching anime on TV was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even toys had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movable villains, which can be said to be an iron powder.
Today, developer Tribute Games and our old friend Gamera Games (publisher of popular domestic titles such as Fireworks and Project Dyson Ball) bring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Schlader's Revenge ("Schlader's Revenge") the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. Listening to the melody of the classic theme song, the bosses who have brought me countless tortures appear one after another, and the four martial arts ninja turtles have once again begun their journey to punish and eliminate evil, and my long-dormant DNA has once again stirred.
Note: This trial only has the first two levels, and the game content experienced is relatively limited, but the basic gameplay of the game has been shown more comprehensively.
Old recipe, new flavor
It is not difficult to see from the title of the game that the story of "Schlader's Revenge" revolves around the evil organization "Bigfoot Gang" under the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" worldview, and its leader Schrader's evil plan to conquer the world.
Schlader classic drill truck, very evil
The story begins with the turtles sitting around the TV watching the news of Channel Six, but the difference is that the four turtles are next to their rat master Sprinter, and the female journalist Who should appear on tv and then be kidnapped.
April basically appeared in this form in the old games
Yes, there are 6 controllable characters in this game, and I can understand that Sprint, who is the teacher of the turtles and turtles, joins me, but why did this weak reporter who was "captured princess" - Aprile, also pick up the microphone and fight with the fierce Bigfoot gang?
Judging from this skill, you were caught by Schlader and you released a sea!
It is undeniable that there are not many decent characters in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, but they are not less than enough for a weak woman to directly incarnate as a martial arts master to fill the numbers. In order to increase the content of the game and let the design of the character itself collapse, I think it is a bit of an inversion.
However, in addition to this strange new character, the gameplay of the game is still very flavorful.
When it comes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games, the most impressive part is the rich scene interaction and tom and tom and Jerry-style humor. Taking the most classic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Manhattan Project" as an example, the player can defeat the enemy by hitting the thrown manhole cover; the scene where the enemy suddenly breaks out of the window of the shop on the street is also very stunning; when the player encounters various trap scenes, it may also be crushed into pieces, smashed into pieces, burned into small black people, and even splashed with sand and rubbed his eyes... These ingenious details make the game fun.
This form of breaking out of the window is really amazing
In "Schlader's Revenge", it is not difficult to find that the production team deliberately restored these elements and became more abundant. In the game you can see the bigfoot ninja disguised as a social animal, suddenly throwing off the tie and attacking you; walking on the side of the road suddenly came out of a mud truck, crushing you into pieces; accidentally hit the fire hydrant standing on the side, but accidentally took away a team of enemies who came out of the fish; the throw thrown by the enemy can see the timing, a home run let him taste the taste of his own dark weapon...

More in line with today's combat system
After all, it is 2022, and relying on the feelings of the FC era alone is far from enough. Therefore, "Schrader's Revenge" has added a lot of new things while restoring the taste of the past.
In the selection stage, the game adds three attributes of range, speed, and energy, and varies according to the characteristics of the character itself, such as Leonardo as the captain of the team, who has a very average ability value, and Donatello who uses a stick, is more outstanding in range. However, it is more regrettable that after the characters in the old works are defeated, the setting that can be replaced and continued is not used in this work, and the player can only fight all the way to the end after selecting the character.
The game has Chinese, but the current Chinese version is still in the early version, according to the official statement will continue to optimize
In terms of action, the game has also added more operation instructions.
In addition to the general attack continuous section with a better sense of blows, and the classic falling flying kick, the second stage jump, dodge and other actions have also been added to this work. After the second jump, you can perform aerial combos, which increases the fun of air combat, and dodge, together with the body system, makes the player's operation on the defensive side more fluid.
In terms of must-kill skills, this generation of works has added a design to accumulate energy bars by attacking enemies, and can instantly accumulate energy through unique taunting actions. This makes it possible for players to have at least one kill to use before each battle, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the game.
For example, Donatello's way to restore energy is to secretly play games and always pay attention to the surroundings, which is very cute
The enemy has introduced a blocking system, and if you want to defeat the enemy in the blocking state, the throwing technique is naturally indispensable, through some operation instructions, the throwing technique can even directly kill the general miscellaneous soldiers, which enriches the combat strategy to a certain extent.
Throw enemies off the screen and kill them straight away
As a clearance game, the content of cooperative play is naturally also the highlight. Schlader's Revenge supports up to four people playing at the same time, and has also added a lot of ways to play with each other. For example, if a 1P player will fly an enemy, a 2P player can fight the enemy back, which can open a protracted badminton war; and if two players attack an enemy at the same time, the game also specially arranges a combo animation, each two characters are different from each other, very interesting; if a player is accidentally killed, other players can also save it in time to avoid losing their lives.
Cool fit
In addition, the difficulty setting has also been added to this work, but compared to the old games that are slightly hardcore in the FC era, "Schlader's Revenge" under simple and ordinary difficulty is obviously more inclined to be refreshing, the enemy's attack desire is not high, the attack power is also moderate, coupled with the above rich action system, the overall fight down is a kind of "mowing" pleasure. However, if you want to get back the hardcore experience of the old game, don't worry, the game has a significant increase in the enemy's attack desire and attack power under difficulty, which will further test the player's strategy and operation.
The game's graphics still maintain the pixel style, but the drawing style is more cartoonish, which makes me remember that the original cool god turtle is not, and inexplicably has a little more of a cute atmosphere.
Personally, I still prefer the style of the picture at the beginning of the article
As for the types of enemies, since the demo version only has the first two levels of the game, it is still slightly single, but from the perspective of the game's promotional video, there are still many different types of enemies. The two bosses who appeared in the demo version are also old friends - wild boar and rhinoceros, and judging from the opening animation of the game, there will be Schrader's spherical base in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Manhattan Project", which makes me look forward to other game content.
Overall
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Schlader's Revenge" is obviously trying to highlight the biggest features of the FC era "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and for now, the restoration is quite OK. Although the newly added characters are somewhat unacceptable from a plot point of view, it is fortunate that the smoother fighting and richer attack strategies make the game still enjoyable. As a ten-year-old fan of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", I am very much looking forward to how these big turtles with high martial arts will save New York and save the world again.
