The final story chapter of TMNT: Splintered Fate just landed and it ends with a Rat King boss fight that lives up to the hype. Super Evil Megacorp’s roguelike started life as a mobile Apple Arcade exclusive, hit PC and consoles later, and has quietly kept pushing content updates. If you’ve cleared the new ending and want more top-down, four-player-co-op roguelike action on PC, these seven picks belong on your shortlist.
Quick comparison

|---|---|---|---|
| Hades | Runs-first roguelike | Around $25 on Steam | Storytelling that survives 30 hours of runs |
| Hades II | The sequel, in early access | Around $30 on Steam | Two playable characters and a wider map |
| Enter the Gungeon | Bullet-hell roguelike | Around $15 on Steam | Precise dodge-based combat with 4-player co-op |

| TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge | The other TMNT co-op | Around $25 on Steam | Six-player 2D side-scrolling co-op |
| Death’s Door | Metroidvania-lite | Around $20 on Steam | Tight combat with a haunting soundtrack |
Why look elsewhere
Splintered Fate does one thing well, top-down real-time roguelike combat with four turtles and shared upgrades. If the boss ladder is done and the run variety has plateaued, you probably want either more runs (Hades), more depth per fight (Death’s Door), or a beat-em-up (Shredder’s Revenge). This list covers all three.
The alternatives
Hades - Best pure roguelike
Hades is the reference. Supergiant built a run-based action game where the story only lands if you die a lot, and each escape attempt gets you closer to the truth about your family. Weapon aspects, boons, and mirror upgrades give you real strategic depth without an overwhelming skill tree.
Where it falls short: No online co-op. If you played Splintered Fate with three friends, this is a solo experience only.
Pricing:
- Around $25 on Steam and GOG
- Frequent sales below $12
- vs Splintered Fate: similar price, deeper build variety
Migrating from Splintered Fate: Isometric camera, similar dodge-and-attack rhythm. Runs are longer.
Bottom line: The one everyone should try. Start here if Splintered Fate is your first roguelike.
Hades II - Best next step
Hades II picks up where the first left off with a witch protagonist, a second weapon character, and a much larger map. Supergiant is still in early access as of mid-2026, but the content on offer already exceeds the original.
Where it falls short: Early access. Some systems are still shifting between patches.
Pricing:
- Around $30 on Steam in early access
- vs Splintered Fate: pricier, more content per dollar over time
Migrating from Splintered Fate: More build variety than the original Hades, closer to Splintered Fate’s “each run feels different” feel.
Download: Steam
Bottom line: The follow-up to the reference. Buy in when the 1.0 lands unless you enjoy patch notes.
Enter the Gungeon - Best for co-op precision
Enter the Gungeon is a bullet-hell roguelike with real four-player local co-op (two on Steam, four on consoles that supports splitscreen). Dodge Roll’s Guns of Glory update in 2019 added new characters and a much longer content tail.
Where it falls short: Local co-op only, no online. Difficulty curve punishes players who don’t practice the dodge roll.
Pricing:
- Around $15 on Steam and GOG
- Often on sale below $5
- vs Splintered Fate: much cheaper, tighter combat, less thematic depth
Migrating from Splintered Fate: Faster twitch reactions, similar “one more run” pull.
Bottom line: The precision-shooter alternative if you liked Splintered Fate’s momentum-based combat.
Cult of the Lamb - Best for base-building fans
Cult of the Lamb stitches a top-down roguelike combat loop onto a cult-management sim. Between runs you build shrines, cook meals for followers, and manage a growing community. Massive Monster’s Sins of the Flesh update added weapons, followers, and new endings.
Where it falls short: The management sim can slow the combat loop to a crawl. Split of tastes.
Pricing:
- Around $25 on Steam and GOG
- vs Splintered Fate: similar price, split between two loops
Migrating from Splintered Fate: Combat feels familiar. Management layer is entirely new.
Bottom line: For Splintered Fate players who wished there was more to do between runs.
Streets of Rage 4 - Best beat-em-up
Streets of Rage 4 is a modern take on the Sega classic, with hand-drawn art and a soundtrack that goes hard. Four-player co-op online, plus a rock-solid arcade mode. DotEmu shipped the Mr. X Nightmare DLC that adds new characters and a survival mode.
Where it falls short: Not a roguelike. Runs are level-based, not procedural.
Pricing:
- Around $25 on Steam and GOG
- DLC around $8 extra
- vs Splintered Fate: same price, different structure
Migrating from Splintered Fate: Same “punch bad guys with friends” energy, side-scrolling instead of top-down.
Bottom line: If four-player online beat-em-up is what you actually wanted, this is the pick.
TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge - Best other TMNT
TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is Tribute Games’ six-player beat-em-up love letter to the 1987 cartoon. Not a roguelike, but the closest thing to Splintered Fate that still has turtles. Dimension Shellshock DLC added a new character and a survival mode.
Where it falls short: Level-based, no procedural runs. Doesn’t scratch the roguelike itch specifically.
Pricing:
- Around $25 on Steam and GOG
- vs Splintered Fate: similar price, larger cast
Migrating from Splintered Fate: Same characters, entirely different structure.
Bottom line: For Splintered Fate players who wanted more Turtles content without leaving the couch.
Death’s Door - Best atmospheric alternative
Death’s Door is a top-down action game with tight combat, a haunting David Fenn soundtrack, and a story about a crow who reaps souls. Not a roguelike, but the dodge-and-attack combat translates directly.
Where it falls short: Single-player only. No procedural runs.
Pricing:
- Around $20 on Steam and GOG
- vs Splintered Fate: cheaper, tighter, single-player
Migrating from Splintered Fate: Same camera, similar rhythm. Progression is linear rather than run-based.
Bottom line: For solo players who want the same feel with a real story arc.
How to choose
Pick Hades first if you have never played a proper roguelike. Pick Hades II if you’ve cleared the first and want more. Pick Cult of the Lamb if you like the between-runs meta as much as the runs. Pick Streets of Rage 4 or Shredder’s Revenge if what you actually loved was couch co-op punching. Pick Death’s Door if you want the top-down feel in a linear game.
Stay on Splintered Fate if the four-Turtle co-op is what keeps you playing. Nothing on this list matches it exactly.
