Battletoads Reviews
Much like the NES original, Battletoads is an epic adventure with heaps of charm, fun combat and brutal challenge. While its fight system may be a little over convoluted, mastering it pays off with satisfying, hard-fought, snot-covered victory.
Battletoads is back in the best possible way. A must-have within Xbox Game Studios.

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.

Battletoads is the reboot you never knew you wanted. It's fun to play and makes you laugh, two perfect ingredients for making a game well worth playing.
The lack of online co-op in the new Battletoads is definitely the game's biggest flaw, so if fans can overlook that, they will find what is otherwise a great beat 'em up throwback with hilarious scenes, fun combat, and plenty of variety. And with it being on Xbox Game Pass, subscribers have no reason not to check it out. Overall, this Battletoads comeback is a major success and is sure to leave a smile on players' faces, and so hopefully fans don't have to wait 26 years for the next entry in the series.
Battletoads is a product suitable especially for those who love the vintage side of video games. Despite this, it is able to excite even those who, instead, love modernity and above all the originality of the media. Fun and style are the watchwords of the latest Rare effort.

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.
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 1991 Battletoads fell in love with a generation of gamers. Now, almost 30 years later, the new Battletoads will once again win the hearts of all those and, at the same time, will make a new generation of players fall in love. As beat 'em up it is very remarkable, but the game is so varied that we can hardly say that this is the real basis of the proposal. It's also a great platformer, a great action game, a great party game ... In conclusion, a game as fun as it is sympathetic and a great must-have for Xbox Game Pass subscribers this summer. It's very short, but you're going to play it at least as many times as there are frogs in the game.

Battletoads is utterly ridiculous and stupidly good fun which is exactly what we need right now.
Battletoads is a victory for Microsoft, Dlala Studios and Rare. It successfully takes a brand that's been dormant for over two decades, breathing new life into it and updating it for the modern generation ardently. While it's a huge shame that Battletoads isn't playable online, and makes some missteps in it's third act, it's hard to deny that this is the most charming rendition of our favourite videogame amphibians. But most of all it's funny, and that's refreshing.
Battletoads is a game that shouldn’t work in 2020. The originals were brutal tests of patience and I mean come on, it has been nearly three decades. Who under 30 actually remembers these characters? Still, for someone like me it is a real treat to see Microsoft once again return a former beloved Rare property back to its glory.
It's been over 20 years since the last Battletoads game-and it was worth the wait. Battletoads is an enjoyable game that brings back the fun beat-em-up aspects of the originals, as well as humorous cutscenes, and minigame stages that show just what happens after the Toads realize their glory days are over.
Battletoads is extremely fun. An experience that you need to play in co-op, which sadly suffers from the implementation of a couple annoying distractions.

Battletoads is a highly entertaining beat 'em up. It's a throwback to the series' roots while still managing to reinvent that series. The action is fast and flows smoothly, and the whole thing is just filled with slick style. This is a revival done right.
Battletoads is fun, challenging and self-indulgent, but in ways that are respectful and reverent.
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.

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.

Battletoads manages to stay true to the source material, all whilst offering an array of varied and fun gameplay mechanics that really spice up the experience. I had a good time battling through each level, whether that was when fighting in classic beat ‘em up action, racing through on a jet-bike, or sliding my way away from a big monstrous threat. Sure, a few mini-games can fall short of the mark at times and the difficulty could feel a bit forced, but it didn’t stop Battletoads from being a really enjoyable experience. It’s just a shame that there isn’t any online multiplayer included, with Battletoads really lending itself perfectly to playthroughs with friends. Of course, local play is possible, but with the game included in Xbox Game Pass it would have been perfect for online romps with other players. Hopefully, it’s something the developers might patch in sometime in the future because it feels like a missed opportunity right now…
