The Turtles will fight through a variety of interesting locales, trying to survive for as long as possible.

TMNT: Shredder's Revenge 'Dimension Shellshock' DLC Will Add a Co-op Survival Mode

It came as no surprise when Dotemu and Tribute Games announced that TMNT: Shredder's Revenge would be getting some paid DLC in the near future. The Ninja Turtles-themed beat 'em up was a huge hit when it launched on consoles and PC last year, so of course it's getting new content. Fresh details about the "Dimension Shellshock" DLC reveal that it adds not just a new playable character (Usagi Yojimbo), but also a co-op survival mode. That's not too surprising since Streets of Rage 4's DLC, also published by Dotemu, added a survival mode as well.

Not long ago, River City Girls 2 received a long-awaited patch that improved its frame rate and fixed countless bugs. Fans have been greatly enjoying WayForward's beat 'em up RPG since the update arrived, but they also noticed that the game's combo system had become more finicky. That change was apparently unintentional, and it has now been fixed in the game's latest update. The new balance update is now live on all platforms.
