Here's our first look at The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kicking ass in Injustice 2

Shellshock!

NetherRealm has released gameplay showing off the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in DC-themed fighting game Injustice 2.

The video below shows how other members of the turtles gang fly in to finish attacks and extend combos by way of an assist. Michelangelo can kick his skateboard across the screen. Donatello, who wields a bo staff, has longer reach than the other turtles. Leonardo can chuck ninja stars, whereas Raphael looks like he's mostly about being up close and personal. The super sees all four turtles slam into their opponent for a shellshock attack. There's a nice Mortal Kombat Easter egg during Raphael's victory cutscene, too.

Here's how the turtles work in Injustice 2: by equipping one of four accessories - swords, bo staff, nunchakus or sais - you can change your character loadout to play as Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello or Michelangelo. Each has their own unique move sets, character powers and special moves. In online and tournament modes where specific loadouts are unavailable, you can select each individual turtle from the character select screen.
