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. The design of the BATTLETOADS compared to their pixelated counterparts from the 90s has not bothered us at all, what’s more, we really LOVE these new Battletoads!, But we can’t say the same about ANY of the other characters/enemies in the game no longer by the design itself (which too) but by how far they are in concept from what the usual enemies were in the original games.Confession time: I never grew up on Battletoads. In summary, BATTLETOADS (2020) is around ARCADE like few others … and yes, without being impossible … it is still a somewhat more difficult game than average. Regarding the gameplay, the game touches various genres (just as the original installments did) offering levels of forceful BEAT EM UP of impossible combos with other levels of speed, platforms, or even daring to play the BULLET HELL genre. With this interesting “autoparodic” situation this new installment starts, with some crazy BATTLETOADS trying to go back to being the stars they always should be. It has been 26 years since our favorite fighting amphibians saved the galaxy from the Dark Queen, but today their feats have been forgotten and NOBODY has a memory of them (like life itself). Now the question is, have these battle toads made a worthy return? our answer is we think so! (but with nuances). Well, not without a little controversy, the BATTLETOADS return to the videogame world since their last appearance in ARCADE in 1994. ![]()
