The first thing that jumped out to me immediately was how explosively colourful and fun the art style was. Battletoads is everything my partner has spent the last 12 years carrying on and much more. Simple and so much freaking fun that I can’t believe I’ve never experienced the franchise before.

But after the roaring success of TNMT: Shredders Revenge and the hope that if I played Battletoads, it would stop my partner from constantly bringing it up in conversation, I decided to push my concerns aside and give the game a chance.įor anyone on the fence about the genre like me, let me summarize the game before we even go any further:īattletoads is balanced. 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. Confession time: I never grew up on Battletoads.
