    Revealing new TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge Dimension Shellshock DLC Survival Mode gameplay

    Game Ace Pro 0 0

    When it was time to brainstorm brand new content for Shredder’s Revenge, we immediately wanted to add something new to complement the fast-paced arcade gameplay we’ve already created.

    A new survival mode was like Krang’s empty android body: a no-brainer! We already knew that fans wanted it, but it became obvious that a survival mode would become a new arena for multiplayer fun. A mode where players could drop in and out, fight new enemies, collect strange power-ups and discover new worlds.

    Entering the dimensional gauntlet, you’ll be battling across a wide variety of arenas, facing off against adversaries both old and new.

    After collecting enough crystals, you’ll be able to fight Shredder within the void. If you’re able to defeat him, you’ll
