Battletoads Reviews
Battletoads is a breath of fresh air to the saga and a successful beat'em up. Although it is repetitive in certain parts, especially in the beat'em up, it is a fun, fast and addictive proposal. Its charismatic characters will catch us from the first moment, inviting us both to continue advancing and to want to know the story until the end. It has been a whopping 16 years to enjoy a new installment of the saga, but the wait has been worth it. We hope it won't take that long to continue enjoying Rash, Pimple, and Zitz, because they deserve to stay long on Xbox Series X.

Battletoads could be a great game and a decent beat 'em up if the developers didn't focus so much on mediocre mini-games.

Battletoads is a strange collection of levels with different gameplay mechanics, and almost none of them are worth playing. Like an episode of a kids TV show, it looks nice and you might get something out of it - but it's quickly forgotten.
The new version of Battletoads lacks character and seems that it's trying to escape its past. The game starts strong, but as you progress it loses its steam and becomes an average experience that can only excite the fans of the series at best.

Battletoads are back and they are going full meta with this genre hybrid.

For me, I've been waiting for the game since it was announced. I believe it was a fun and unique experience, especially nowadays. But it's flawed by the shortness of the game as a whole and the lack of Online Multiplayer

Battletoads is a short yet incredibly varied and jolly adventure.
Battletoads isn't bad, but it is boring. It starts off relatively strong and quickly devolves into uninteresting minigames. When the title returns to beat-'em-up gameplay, it shows the potential to be something more, but then you're forced to play "rock paper scissors" or mash buttons for a few minutes, and it all fades away. The concept, characters and visuals are excellent updates of the original, so it's a shame that the gameplay isn't.
Battletoads is a retro comeback that not only revives the much-loved series for fans, but one that elevates it to new heights! Truly, the development team has worked some magic to make this the best it can be, truly knocking it out of the park. There is very little wrong here that can stop from this being a star recommendation. The small amounts of missteps it does have don't hurt the experience in a meaningful way, leaving this to be an absolutely fantastic retro revival. It's great to see Rare credited on a game that is genuinely great.
A cartoony reimagining of the classic Battletoads franchise is let down by mediocre gameplay and flat comedy.
The Battletoads reboot has a little something for everyone. It's accessible, well-executed, and largely rewarding. It captures the energy and spirit of the franchise for diehard fans while also providing the best possible entry point for new fans. Sure, it might be a little simpler compared to some of the more expansive titles available today, but it does a stellar job of bringing Battletoads into the modern era while also harkening back to the days of playing the game on NES. It's the kind of game you'll want to spend hours in... even if you want to rage quit here and there.
Despite its short length and occasionally odd use of levels Battletoads succeeds in becoming a toadally worthwhile reboot.
The Battletoads are back... and they did it in the best possible form for the current gaming landscape. The new production of Dlala Studios, in fact, is a solid and fun Beat'em up, able to entertain for hours the lovers of the genre, or fans of the series, and to restore the right luster to iconic characters who needed a new context to return in vogue.

It's a great title that constantly mixes styles and I say with full confidence that this is my favorite installment of Battletoads. The toads wanted to get out of oblivion, so I hope that they will succeed, and the brand will see the next installments it deserves.

The Battletoads are back from the dead. With an all-new graphics scheme and cool new features, the brawler lets you take the role of Zitz, Pimple, and Rash once again. The game offers over-the-top chaotic fights for up to three players. Next to that Battletoads honors, it's rooted by bringing in elements from other genres, like platformers and shmups. The humor is hilarious, but unfortunately, there are also a few weaker elements in the game that cramp its style.

While the game is a beat em up at heart, that hasn’t stopped the game going completely off the wall and throwing everything from platforming puzzles to a full-blown twin-stick Bullet Hell Shooter into the game, this is accompanied by self-aware dialogue that ends up being 50:50 between hilarious and cringe worthy. The entire game feels like a jumbled schizophrenic mess where they felt the beat-em-up sections on their own weren’t enough to carry a new Battletoads game and chuck a whole bunch of random affairs into the second half of the game, some work like the aforementioned Bullet Hell levels and others just frustrated and confused me like the elemental Jeff slide.
Battletoads is a great beat 'em up game even for people, who have never played one. Countless different minigames are an interesting and funny refreshment that will however not please hardcore players.

Hopefully this won’t be the last time we see Battletoads again for another two decades. We as a generation of gamers continue to get older, especially those of us which love this style of game. With time having a finite number on all of us, it’s an amazing feeling when a franchise and game such as this that you have such fond memories of as a child is able to burst back onto the scene in a big way. Even with its slight pacing issues and relative simplistic difficulty, Battletoads is worth your time and attention, especially all of you out there with access to Xbox Game Pass.
