You’ve certainly seen the combo of Minecraft and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before, but now it’s official thanks to a new DLC Minecraft level that puts you in the role of the most radical guys around. You can choose from a variety of pizza-eating turtles in this fantastic adventure in the Minecraft TMNT DLC and set out on a journey to defeat Foot Clan. You’ll want to join your friends in one of the best co-op games to take down Shredder with the help of skateboards, the crew’s recognisable weapons, and an awesome soundtrack.
You’ll of course get to pick between the four colors of hero, each with their own weapon – Raphael and his dual sai, Leonardo and his katanas, Michelangelo with his nunchaku, or Donatello and his Bo staff. I’m pretty sure that any friend group worth their salt has already determined who’s who among the TMNT crew (for the record, Donatello does machines, so that’s my spot), so you probably already know who you’re going to pick.
You’ll get training from Master Splinter in the sewer hideout – testing your trademark weapon and a handy double jump – before heading out in the Party Wagon to put a stop to the latest awful antics of the Foot Clan. Whack on the tunes and hit the road… Cowabunga, dude!
You’ll have to watch out for Bebop and Rocksteady, of course, as you make your way through various missions that April calls into you over the T-Phone and ultimately face off against Shredder. There are various additional weapons and abilities to make use of, such as ninja stars and spin attacks, although the combat is reasonably straightforward compared to the likes of TMNT Shredder’s Revenge. You do also get to ride on a skateboard though, and that’s a big win in my book.
The turtles have been closely associated with Minecraft for a long time – YouTuber Samito, who recently resurrected the massive Minecraft Mineplex server, is usually seen dressed as Mikey – but this official pairing is a welcome addition. If you love the TMNT crew, you’ll probably get a good time out of this, especially if you bring a few pals along. Turtle Power!
