The heroes in a half-shell have a storied history in gaming, and are back on that scene once more. This time, they are going through a bit of family turmoil and in a new genre for the ninja boys. Tactical Takedown is a strategic turn-based, board game-like beat ’em up where the goal is to get your mutant teen to the end of the stage with three lives and a loadout of different abilities to help you knock out the foot clan as you traverse the rooftops, sewers, and streets of NYC. Everyone has come across the TMNT at some point in their lives, either through their cartoons, movies, video games or comics, so what does this Turtles adventure do to stand up against some of its franchise peers?
