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. I think players will love (new comers) or love/hate (depending how fierce of a fan you truly are.Confession time: I never grew up on Battletoads. It's most definitely worth at least a couple play throughs and I think there is enough here to recommend it in the end after all it is battle toads for your Xbox One.

It's always difficult to keep fans and newcomers happy in a classic franchise such as this. In the end Battletoads was a decent attempt at reviving the franchise. It's a much larger percentage of the actual gameplay time, though, as a fair number of minigame 'levels' take just a minute or two. Beat-'em-up is the game's bread and butter, but comprises fewer than half of the levels. While I loved the feeling of bouncing from one game genre to another, I found myself wishing there were more classic brawling levels. That gameplay variety has its drawbacks, though. Presented in a great Saturday morning cartoon style, the Battletoad trio of Rash, Zitz, and Pimple have been trapped in a virtual reality hole, living out a life where they’ve been worshiped as heroes for the past 26 years.

It sounds weird to say, especially for this notoriously narratively light genre, but one of the biggest things that kept me enticed was the story. This year beat 'em up kind of games are definitely trending and I can count the large number released this year in the same genre. This year Battletoads is a beat 'em up video game developed by Dlala Studios under supervision of Rare and published by Xbox Game Studios.
