Does cowabunga truly say it all?

"When it comes to brawlers, no licensed franchise has likely seen more titles released for it than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games. Sure, there are entire game franchises that have existed only has brawlers but those are a separate thing entirely, TMNT is a popular property and the fact that it features four iconic turtles with signature weapons lends itself so well to the genre that it makes sense that so many have been made over the past three decades. In fact, two major beat 'em ups for the Turtles have arrived within the last couple of years, which begs the question as to why now would GameMill choose to tap into the 2017 arcade game simply titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Well, they have and brought a bit of new content into the game in their own version titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants. So now that it has arrived on consoles and PC, is this beat ‘em up another trip down memory lane with the Heroes in a Half-Shell?"
Michael Kitchin writes, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants does not breathe easy outside of an arcade setting. The short campaign loses any risk when you're given plentiful lives at the start of each stage. Whilst the new areas are welcome, they don't make the package feel any more complete. In the comforts of home, every imperfection comes into stark realisation. The slim presentation, the decent but ultimately safe combat and the overall small package makes this tough to recommend."
Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is a side-scrolling beat 'em that's a little too basic for its own good.
