The story is presented in the classic Saturday morning cartoon format and centres around a trio of frogs, Rash, Zitz, and Pimple (and yes, those names had me giggling like a fool). Looking at Battletoads on the screen is comparable to the feeling I used to get watching cartoons as a child – overstimulated in all the right ways.
It’s not often that I’ll play a game that takes me out of my comfort zone and yet sit there with a goofy smile, yet that’s exactly what I did here. The first thing that jumped out to me immediately was how explosively colourful and fun the art style was. Battletoads is everything my partner has spent the last 12 years carrying on and much more. Simple and so much freaking fun that I can’t believe I’ve never experienced the franchise before. But after the roaring success of TNMT: Shredders Revenge and the hope that if I played Battletoads, it would stop my partner from constantly bringing it up in conversation, I decided to push my concerns aside and give the game a chance.įor anyone on the fence about the genre like me, let me summarize the game before we even go any further:īattletoads is balanced. That is why I tend to avoid beat-em-ups like the plague. Mostly, they always have abysmal controls combined with highly unbalanced gameplay and unfair difficulty levels that require godlike reflexes to pass-something I do not possess. Let me first enthral you with all my hesitations towards beat-em-up games. So the moment I signed up for Xbox Game Pass and saw Battletoads among the collection, it was a no-brainer that I’d be the best partner and download it for us to play.
In fact, the only reason I even know about the franchise is because of my partner instantly going on about it for the last 12 years of our relationship. With a unique hand-animated cartoon style and packed with memorable characters and locations, the Battletoads are back for a larger-than-life brawl across the universe that promises to be fun alone, and unforgettable together.Confession time: I never grew up on Battletoads. Teamwork makes the dream work in a drop-in, drop-out gameplay blast, filled with over-the-top gameplay moments that anyone can enjoy, but only a True ‘Toad’ can master. The wait is over! Rash, Zitz and Pimple are returning at last to smash-hit their way through an all-new action-packed adventure of choreographed chaos, and couch co-op may never be the same again.ġ-3 players will take control of the Battletoads and team up to storm through wild and unpredictable stages with only one rule – expect the unexpected.
