Whatever you may feel about Hollywood “director” (quotes intended) Michael Bay, and he sure does have a lot of haters, you have to give him props for bringing 80s and 90s entertainment franchises to the consciousness of this generation. Whether that’s a good or bad thing is still up in the air. After messing around with the Transformers movies, he is now set to bring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to life once again on the big screen, and there is now an Android game to ratchet up the excitement.

Unlike most of the movie tie-in games of recent months (and years), fortunately, this is not just an endless runner game. This is more of a combat type of game, as you really don’t want to see such hyperactive ninja turtles just running around endlessly. This time, you get to choose if you want to be Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello or Raphael as you try and “take back the streets” of New York from the mutants and the Foot Clan.

You can play it in Story Mode, where you follow a storyline written by author Tom Waltz from IDW Publishing, the publisher of the TMNT comic book series. Or you can choose to do the survival mode where you continue to slash and hack your way through wave after wave of enemies. The turtles can also be upgraded with ninja moves, weapons, and other boosts, as you gather points along the way. You can also compete with your friends as it also has a social sharing aspect as well.

But just like Hollywood and Michael Bay’s incessant need to part you with your cash, this game is not free. Compared to other games like it, it’s a bit steep at $3.99, plus it has some in-app purchases as well. But if you feel like reliving your childhood through this game at least, then go on ahead and download it from the Google Play Store.
