The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the beloved characters who have been active for 40 years, continue to captivate audiences with their latest Nintendo Switch adventure - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown.
Launched on August 14, 2025, this turn-based strategy beat-'em-up offers a fresh take on the TMNT franchise. The game features 20 action-packed levels, each focusing on one of the four turtles: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.
