finally gives the heroes in a half shell something different to do other than fighting enemies in a 2D side-scrolling beat-em-🌃up. This time around, the reptile warriors are in for their first roguelite, which takes some very clear inspiration from Hades.

If you've played Hades (or pretty much any roguelite over the past few years), then you'll know what to expect in Splintered Fate - start a run, get as far as you can before inevitably dying, and then upgrade your character to do it all over again. That tried-and-true formula isn't the only thing that Splintered Fate takes notes on, though, as it also features a true ending that doesn't unlock on your first completed run.

How To Unlock Splintered Fate's True Ending

Once you've managed to beat a single run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate and defeat Shredder for the first time (which took me around six or seven tries before I was powerful enough), you might think that you've completed the game. You'd be wrong, though, as the mysterious enemy who kidnapped Splinter will tell you the game is only just beginning.

This is a not-so-subtle hint to the player that there's a true ending that needs to be unlocked. To do this, you're going to need to complete a total of eight runs, with each finished attempt rewarding you with a bit more story content and✅ one of Splinter's 🌄possessions as a "trophy" to take back to the sewers with you.

As you unlock more of Splinter's trophies⛦ from completing runs, the massive purple hole in the top left of the dojo will slowly start to get fixed. It's not💛 important, but it's a nice touch.

This might sound like a lot (and it kind of is), but it's worth noting that the runs don't really change once you've completed your first attempt and don't get noticeably more difficult. There are optional challenge portals and gauntlets that can reward you with more resources and unique encounters but if you just want to see the true ending, then you can just fly through the remaining seven runs.

Once you get to the eighth and final run, the mysterious villain will give you the final trophy, putting an end to Splintered Fate's main campaign and rewarding you with the true ending. Considering how great this version of the Turಌtles is, it's worth seeing it through to the end.

Is There Any More Story Content After This?

If you pay attention during the true ending, you'll notice that the Turtles say that their work still isn't done and that there are bad guys out there to be defeated. Considering the mysterious enemy's identity never really got revealed, you might think that completing more runs will result in an extra ending, or at leasꦉt some more story content.

That isn't really the case, though. Once you've seen the true ending, Splintered Fate's story content is over and there's nothing more to see aside from unique interactions between some of thꦿe Turtles and the villains they come up agains💙t. There's still plenty to be unlocked and upgraded, but once you see this ending you've hit the end of the game's major story content.
