Battletoads Reviews
A cartoony reimagining of the classic Battletoads franchise is let down by mediocre gameplay and flat comedy.
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.

When Rare chose Dlala Studios to develop Battletoads they chose the best studio. Dlala has crafted a work of art and modernized Battletoads in a family friendly fun manner. It is the perfect gem for Game Pass and just what the service needed to keep it fresh.
The aesthetics remind us of cheap kids’ animation, while the exaggeration in the design of almost everything (character models, sound, dialogues, plot) is very evident.

Battletoads is a stunning return for both the toads and Rare, a team that hasn't had much output recently. While it can become a little tedious to play alone, this is an excellent game to try with a small group of friends on a Friday night. Humour, variety of gameplay, and local co-op make this a great addition to anyone's library.
Playing Battletoads is like having a box of sweets for lunch. It's no doubt unique and some of the chocolates can be quite delicious, but after you're done, you'll just regret not having a regular meal instead.

Dlala Studios' reboot/sequel of these antique amphibians deftly juggles its varied gameplay conceits and meta-humor, with only Rare missteps.
A fun and solid beat 'em up with some awesome speeder bike levels tossed in. Unfortunately, the game tries too hard to be funny and the character voices can get quite irritating.
Battletoads has a great look, and a lot of differents gameplay sequences, but most of them are boring and too long.

Battletoads smashed through with it's reboot after 26 years, with engaging visuals, a banging soundtrack, and gameplay that rarely gets stale I found the game a breath of fresh air bringing me back to simpler times where games were the only thing on my mind. It's a epic addition to the franchise, and Dlala doesn't disappoint.
After 26 years, the caustic Zitz, Rash and Pimple are back
The return of the battle toads has been anything but discreet, it could not be otherwise. Zitz, Rash and Pimple return in a visually powerful game tailored to their equally powerful personalities, with the combination of genres that their other games used. Pacing problems, the distribution of the phases and those game genres, tarnish the gameplay. And about the aesthetics and the general argument, let each one judge for himself, because they have won me on that side at least.

I suspect that fans of the original will find a good dose of nostalgia here that may well make it worth the price of admission. For everyone else… well, if you grew up in the 80’s and 90’s you might get a touch of nostalgia as well, unless you were more a Turtles fan like me, in which case this will simply continue making the Battletoads look like also-rans.
Battletoads is surprisingly a worthwhile comeback. Extremely fun, challenging and with a wide variety of gameplay systems, it will keep you on the couch for about four to five hours. If you are looking for something to play co-op with up to two other friends, it is worth giving it a try, even if you find its aesthetic style unattractive.

Battletoads retains the DNA of its hard as nails source material, reworking it into a chaotic brawler that's fascinating to see in action, looks gorgeous, and never overstays its welcome.
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 great game, a successful mix of many genres but one that doesn't excel in any of these. Particularly suited to those who love the variety of games, the exclusive Microsoft will disappoint those who expected a faithful return to the origins.

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.
