TMNT Mutants Unleashed has some really good ideas that don’t coalesce into a great game. The combat is fine, but nothing to write home about. The social RPG concept is novel, but not well executed. It’s all the more frustrating because the writing for the relatively engaging plot is great. Part of me wished this game had some time to be refined because the framework of something totally radical is here. It just doesn’t make it out of the sewers.

About
Mutants and humans have been kickin’ it together in New York City. But then, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello discovered several shipments of mutagenic ooze were scattered, contaminating areas of the City. It didn’t seem so bad until they realised new mutants, a.k.a. 'Mewbies', spawned from this mess. Not all these Mewbies are evil, but some have lost their way, and the citizens don't feel safe anymore.
Join the legendary Turtle brothers straight from the sewer and slide into this new adventure of shell-shocking proportions. With the help of April’s insightful reports from the streets and Splinter’s sage guidance, gear up to fight crime and unravel an epic saga of justice and chaos!
Embark on the adventure in single or co-op mode to change the minds of the citizens, get those pizzas delivered on time, and try not to eat them on the way.

Critic reviews
- 5.0Technical issues aside from the moment this game has potential. I love the fact that the Turtles have been given a bit more complexity in this game, but the mark is just a bit off. I honestly would have called this an okay game but had to knock it down with all of the hoops I had to jump through to finish the game. This won’t be the end for TMNT games and after some patches and maybe even a good sale, a fan of the reptilian ninjas may enjoy this but for now, I don’t think I’d recommend to my friends.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed is a colorful follow-up to the successful 2023 film. With engaging characters and excellent voicework, things look and sound pretty great. Unfortunately, pacing issues and frustrating combat mar the experience.
- Ennesima avventura per Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raffaello e Donatello, alias Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Mutant Unleashed è un gioco che rimane nella comfort zone dei beat ‘em up 3D, provando a proporre un minimo di profondità nelle fasi off-stage ma cadendo nella banalità e ripetitività quando si tratta di scendere in campo, menare duro e soprattutto intrattenere.
- 7.0En conclusión, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed es un juego interesante en su estructura, dado que por primera vez se está apostando por el camino del RPG. Esa inspiración en relación a Persona es extravagante pero al mismo tiempo llama la atención; lástima que no profundizaron mucho más en las relaciones con personajes secundarios.
- 5.0Mutants Unleashed è un gioco spento, sotto ogni punto di vista. Non diverte in singolo e non diverte in multiplayer. Outright Games si occupa di giochi dedicati ad un pubblico giovanile e, visto che magari i bambini hanno il doppio della voglia di giocare di noi adulti, stare fermi a guardare cutscene, identiche e mute, sembra un controsenso. Insomma, se siete fan delle Tartarughe Ninja riguardatevi Caos Mutante o I racconti delle Tartarughe Ninja su Paramount, leggetevi L'Ultimo Ronin o giocate a Shredder Revenge, ma risparmiatevi Mutants Unleashed. Se invece non siete fan, questo non è davvero il prodotto per avvicinarvi al franchise.
