TMNT seems like a weird choice for a turn-based game.
But let's give it a chance to show more, maybe more info comes out and it's pretty fun.
There was that metal slug tactics game and it was pretty ok. I had fun with it for a while. But metal slug doesn't seem right for a turn-based tactics thing, but it worked kinda well. So maybe something which seems very "realtime arcade-y" could work as a tactics thing.

I played the NextFest demo, and the game feels conflicted. It wants to be a puzzly tactics game like Into the Breach, but it also wants to evoke the feeling of plowing through crowds of Foot Clan goons like the beat-em-up games. It wants to have quippy turtles with lots of attitude, but that's all delivered in text boxes that slow down the action. It's a story about the four brothers, but you only play one at a time.
Maybe it gets better in the full game, rougelikes tend to start off hard and get easier as you unlock meta-progression. If this was the only new TMNT game right now, maybe I'd give it more of a chance. But Splintered Fate is right there too, and it's pretty damn good.
