The hit 2020 comic book series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been adapted as a video game and draws great inspiration from the God of War franchise and similar action games.

The Last Ronin is famous for being the first collaboration in many years between TMNT creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Based on an unfinished ’80s story, The Last Ronin is a Dark Knight Returns-esque tale set in a stark, futuristic version of the TMNT universe. In this world, all but one of the four Turtles have been killed by Foot his clan, and the sole survivor must seek revenge against Shredder’s grandson.

The famous Last Ronin carries his dead brother’s weapon. This could suggest that the game allows players to switch between weapons and fighting styles on the fly.
