TMNT: Splintered Fate Devs Say They Were Inspired by Hades, Dead Cells, and More

Any comparison to a game as incredible as Hades is a wonderful compliment, thank you! Hades in particular opened our eyes to how roguelikes can tell epic stories that evolve over time and is considered a masterpiece by many for that reason. In particular, we felt we could bring our experience in the social gaming space to see how we could innovate in that space.

There are a lot of roguelike fans in the business and we were really inspired by playing them. Games like Dead Cells and Slay the Spire changed the way many of us think about how many years and hours a roguelike can stay engaging.

Another title that really inspired us was Children of Morta. It was a family-oriented game, something the TMNT franchise has always valued above all else. We think Splintered Fate is a great addition to the genre, with many familiar systems but also innovations in the co-op space that fans will really enjoy.
