Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate follows the four titular turtles — Leonardo (Dominic Catrambone), Raphael (Roger Craig Smith), Donatello (Dale Inghram), and Michelangelo (Yuri Lowenthal) — as they venture across New York City is search of their lost master and father, Splinter (Paul Nakauchi).{{Cite web |title=Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Splintered-Fate/ |access-date=April 18, 2025 |website=Behind The Voice Actors |language=en-US}} Among the Turtles allies include their closest companion, April O'Neil (Melanie Minichino); Casey Jones (Ben Lepley), a hockey mask-wearing vigilante; Metalhead (also Inghram), the Turtles' robot assistant; Angel/Nobody (Dawn M. Bennett), a mechanical suit-sporting vigilante; and Slash (André Sogliuzzo), a mutant snapping turtle. The Turtles fight many antagonists during their journey, such as mutant alligator, Leatherhead (Keith Ferguson); the buffoonish mutant warthog and rhinoceros agents of the Foot Clan, Bebop and Rocksteady (Dave B. Mitchell and Fred Tatasciore); Karai (Gwendoline Yeo), the Shredder's granddaughter and the Foot's second in command; and the Shredder (Matthew Yang King), the archenemy of the Turtles, leader of the ninja criminal organisation, the Foot Clan, and the figure behind Splinter's kidnapping.

Splintered Fate was developed and published by Super Evil Megacorp in partnership with Paramount Game Studios.{{Cite web |last= |date=October 19, 2024 |title=Interview: Super Evil Megacorp talks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Splintered Fate and DLC |url=https://mynintendonews.com/2024/10/19/interview-super-evil-megacorp-talks-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-splintered-fate-and-dlc/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241119171956/https://mynintendonews.com/2024/10/19/interview-super-evil-megacorp-talks-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-splintered-fate-and-dlc/ |archive-date=November 19, 2024 |access-date=April 17, 2025 |website=My Nintendo News |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=McEvoy |first=Sophie |date=November 26, 2024 |title=Making TMNT: Splintered Fate more than a port |url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/making-tmnt-splintered-fate-more-than-a-port |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241202041619/https://www.gamesindustry.biz/making-tmnt-splintered-fate-more-than-a-port |archive-date=December 2, 2024 |access-date=April 17, 2025 |website=GamesIndustry.biz |language=en}} According to lead gameplay designer, Daniel Stansens, the reason the team chose to go for a roguelike direction was to differentiate it from previous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles outings as well as to make use of Super Evil's custom engine, the EVIL Engine. They wanted to capture a "brawler arcade" feel to the title, which they felt was rare for roguelikes. Cooperative gameplay, both local and online, was added as per tradition for Turtles games. The game marks the development studio's first title for the Nintendo Switch and PC. The intent from the start was for Splintered Fate to be a cross-platform title that would first launch on Apple devices, before expanding to home consoles such as the Switch. Super Evil made special enhancements to each version of the game based on the platform of release. For example, for the Switch iteration they focused on couch co-op while for PC, they honed in on online matchmaking.

Stansens described the writing process of the game as tricky as a result of its roguelike structure. Tom Waltz, a writer and editor for the IDW Publishing Turtles comic book series was brought in to aid in this area. The writer's close connection to the franchise and fandom helped Super Evil craft their iteration. As a result, the universe of Splintered Fate takes inspiration from the IDW comics, though Stansens emphasized that they still sought to make their own version of the story. The game features a more adult version of the Turtles that are already cemented in New York City.{{Cite web |last=Foster |first=George |date=October 30, 2024 |title=TMNT: Splintered Fate Leads Talk IDW Inspirations, 2025 DLC, And The Comparisons To Hades |url=https://www.thegamer.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-tmnt-splintered-fate-leads-talk-idw-inspirations-2025-dlc-and-the-comparisons-to-hades/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250119103511/https://www.thegamer.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-tmnt-splintered-fate-leads-talk-idw-inspirations-2025-dlc-and-the-comparisons-to-hades/ |archive-date=January 19, 2025 |access-date=April 17, 2025 |website=TheGamer |language=en}} The designer elaborated that they aimed for a tone not "as family-friendly and as light, as some of the Turtles origin stories" though nor as dark as the IDW comics. Stansens remarked being flattered by the game being frequently compared to Hades (2020) but also felt that Splintered Fate innovated with roguelike genre as well. He specifically highlighted the game letting the player progress the branching narrative as anyone of the brothers, while also letting you do it all in co-op. Super Evil's Director of Product Management, Tom Westall, said that " Hades particular further opened our eyes to how roguelikes can tell epic stories that evolve over time" and pointed to Dead Cells (2018) and Slay the Spire (2019) as particular inspirations for the team. In addition, they were influenced by Children of Morta (2019), which they felt shared a lot of the familial themes intrinsic to Turtles.

According to the review aggregate website Metacritic, the PC version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate received "generally favorable reviews", while the Nintendo Switch version received "mixed or average reviews".

Several critics compared the game to Hades (2020) in both a favorable and unfavorable light. Game Informer wrote: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and Hades is a great game--though it does mean the areas where Splintered Fate falls short tend to stick out more. Game Informer commended the combat, saying that each attack felt "like an impactful part of a successful and fun strategy". RPGamer and RPGFan both referred to the combat as smooth. GameSpot opined that the combat was fluid, though often became "button-mashy". PC Gamer contrastively thought that the game avoided the common "uninteresting combat" pitfall seen in many roguelikes.

RPGamer called the game's presentation "snappy", saying that the art style was "evocative of many earlier iterations while also maintaining a unique identity". Nintendo Life said that "the visual style gets the job done", if a bit "mobile-y". GameSpot felt that the art failed to live up to the standard set by the game's inspiration, Hades. Nintendo World Report echoed this sentiment, saying that "Splintered Fate looks great, if a little unambitious".

Shacknews commended the upgrade system for its variety, describing it as "extremely deep". Nintendo Life similarly praised the upgrade system as well as the difficulty curve, while RPGFan noted that each failed attempt still felt rewarding. PC Gamer positively remarked that the game was more welcoming as compared against other roguelikes. GameSpot directed criticism to the games technical issues, particularly the framerate drops during co-op. Nintendo Life similarly critiqued the performance dips and occasional crashes, with Nintendo World Report echoing this sentiment. RPGamer criticized the crashes in addition to the lengthy loading screens, saying in reference to the Switch version that "Splintered Fate doesn’t seem particularly well-suited for the seven-year-old hardware".
