Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed is a beat ’em up platformer developed by Aheartfulofgames and published by Outright Games. The game was released on October 18, 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows. The game is set in the same universe as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed Gameplay
Mutants Unleashed is a third-person 3D beat ’em up with platforming elements, playable as any of the four Turtles across the streets and boroughs of New York City. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo each have distinct weapons and combat styles, with Michelangelo built around close-range brawling, Donatello using his bo staff for longer reach, and Leonardo and Raphael offering their own variations on speed and aggression. I played as Leonardo, since he’s always been my favorite. Combat is ranked on style, rewarding combos and clean defensive play rather than button mashing, with enemies that hit back hard enough to punish passive approaches.

I guess I'll get the back half.
The game supports two-player couch co-op throughout the campaign. There is no online multiplayer. A skill tree system ties character progression to a relationship mechanic, with new abilities unlocked by completing objectives tied to specific characters the Turtles meet across the story. Each Turtle has their own skill tree, making each one’s style even more unique. Side activities include quests, pizza deliveries, and general exploration that fill out New York between the main missions. The campaign runs approximately fifteen hours.

Platforming elements including rail grinding and wall jumps add variety to the traversal, though the camera, a fixed perspective reminiscent of older co-op games, creates visibility problems during both combat and platforming sequences that became increasingly frustrating. The art direction matches the Mutant Mayhem film’s artistic style and the voice cast captures the energy of the movie’s younger take on the characters. The overall package is aimed squarely at fans of the film and younger players rather than veteran TMNT game fans looking for deep combat systems.

Should I feel bad for slicing mutants?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed Story
TMNT: Mutants Unleashed picks up after the events of Mutant Mayhem, following the Turtles as they try to balance their new lives as accepted members of New York City with the responsibilities that come with being heroes.
Just as the brothers start enjoying school, friends, and a taste of normal teenage life, a new wave of mutant activity erupts across the city. New mutants, dubbed Mewbies, are flooding into New York and beginning to act aggressively, triggering a citywide curfew and upending the fragile peace the Turtles helped build.

I'm going high.
As the situation escalates, the Turtles discover the aggressive behavior is being caused by a pheromone contaminating the water supply, affecting mutants but not humans. The trail leads back to Techno Cosmic Research Institute (TCRI), which is transmitting the pheromone across New York via blimps, deliberately pushing the mutant community toward chaos. The Turtles work to expose the plan and disable the transmission before the human and mutant relationship the city has only just built falls apart completely.
