    This game has been getting a lot of unwarranted hate online. Just because it's not BOTW-level doesn't mean it's a bad game (and if you're not a 5-13-year-old girl you are probably not the target audience here).

Just because it's not BOTW-level doesn't mean it's a bad game (and if you're not a 5-13-year-old girl you are probably not the target audience here). With so many games that dress female protagonists like swimsuit models (with even less realistic proportions), it sort of seems like nerd culture doesn't know how to process a game actually designed for girls (gasp!) based on a tv show for girls (gasp!) by the folks behind the recent My Little Pony tv series.

    For years my daughters have asked why the female characters in mainstream nerd culture (videogames, comics, certain animation) aren't wearing outside clothes. They love this game and the tv show it is based upon and I am so glad there are solid options out there beyond the typical eye candy for teen boys (and men that have not outgrown that phase).    … Expand

    DC Super Hero Girls: Teen power is a 6 and a half hour long mission based beat em up game where you can play as 6 different characters, Super girl, Wonder woman, and batgirl from the hero side, Harley Quinn, Cat Woman, and Star Saphhire
    Youll unlock these characters as yopu progress htrough the game, as the heros and villians team up to take on the toys terrorizing the town.. In a way I was getting persona vibes here.. you can run around the 3 different mini locations as any of the girls in their civilian form any time youd like, go shopping, get smoothies..take pictures of stuff around town to get likes on social media you know… stuff teen girls do
    or just stick to the mission, beat up some toys, defend buildings as you rebuild the town, complete hallenges to level up your characters.. coins to once again buy new outfits.. all of this on paper sounds great.. but dc super hero girls is ultimately a really empty and repetitive game.. combat and controls especially for the flying characters and catwoman feel loose rather than tight and controlled, making them just awkward to play as or complete their character focused missions, and combat in general aside from when you finally unlock star sapphire just isn’t fun… each charcter feels unique and you can unlock new moves for the girls to use, but enemies feel so spongy, that the combat never feels satisfying, and actually starts to get annoying toward the end… as enemies just get more and more annoying to deal with.. and mission wise, back to the repetitiveness… it all feels rinse and repeat, go to this location, defet enmeies or defend a building.. that’s the entire game.. going back to the same locations, rarely anything new… making the 6 hours or so game length feel just right.. it doesn’t over stay its welcome… it leaves right when it feels like it needs to…
    Furthermore if you havnt seenthe tv show, don’t expect a coherent tory and world building.. it doesn’t exist here.. the game expects you to know the charatcers and their relationships.. this feels very much like a tv show tie in and not its own standalone thing for the female dc heroes and villians…
    I didn’t refret my time spent with this game, but its not one I can recommend to those not buying soley on the face they want a game based on a show they love.
    I give DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power

The way you aquire stars for powering up is based on how good you do in combat.There were a decent amount of side quests and having the Supersta can be a useful al be it a boring way to take stupid pictures of you and the world. The followers mechanic needed for some sidequests is very interesting. The combat is in my opinion is just like a B-. Only a 4 hit combo and some unlockable moves, but the Just Roll is a good way of keeping your combo so you get more stars and money. The Controls are fine although there is a big delay when jumping as the Girls outside of Costume. This game surprised me and has forced me to give it the nickname: Persona Jr.… Expand

    Combat is basic but serviceable. Each girl's basic combo is well-animated to create a satisfying, crunchy button mashing experience, and they are supplemented by a simple but rewarding dodge-counterattack mechanic that keeps you on your toes. Top this off with the implementation of character-unique abilities like grapnel guns, batarangs, the Lasso of Truth, the power of flight, Frost Breath and Laser Vision and you've got the foundations of a fun DC action game.

    On top of this is the girls daily lives traversing an overworld which has you talking to every NPC for quests and searching every nook and cranny for collectathon stuff that yield rewards. Both are very well implemented and make the other half of this game fun. The collectathons are hidden well and a particular joy to hunt for. Topping it all off is a city management system which certainly is a city management system, and a social media platform which certainly is a social media platform.

    Overall, the game is fun, the writing is fine and I'd say this piece of media has no right beings as good as it is. I'm awarding extra points to this game for allowing us the opportunity to play as Diana Prince and Kara Zor-El. Not a lot of videogames manage to afford us this liberty and be a fun game at the same time. Give us Zatanna DLC, you cowards.    … Expand

    DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power, while being a game for a very niche audience, is extremely ambitious. It doesn't always reach its potential, but it consistently stays ambitious throughout. It isn't every day you see a game this egregiously girly with so many ideas to make it original.

It doesn't always reach its potential, but it consistently stays ambitious throughout. It isn't every day you see a game this egregiously girly with so many ideas to make it original.

    There's two major ways you will be playing. One way, you'll be running around small open world hubs as an ordinary girl, doing light platforming as well as taking selfies and talking to friends.The other way you'll be doing linear combat focused missions as that girl's super hero identity. Both of these are never perfect, but always fun and charming.

    The biggest thing DC Super Hero Gitls excels at is its style. Every box of dialogue, every menu, every animated action, it all pops on screen so nicely and stylized. Overall I think it's worth checking out as long as you're fine with it's very girly tones, but this is a game for kids, and I think it's very good at being one.    … Expand

    This is easily the worst game of 2021 so far! I'd much rather play Balan Wonderworld than this boring lazy shameless cash grab! I get that it's meant for little kids, but even kids would get bored of playing it after 5 minutes!

    DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power is charming, but it has much more cons than pros, in general. The combat is extremely repetitive and lacks polish, the controls are clunky and the co-op gameplay is non-existent. Stick with the cartoon, it's probably a better idea.

    The developers managed to make a decent game for the Nintendo Switch with the small license. The tasks and the storyline in DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power are really fun.

    DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power gets way more right than it gets wrong. The cast is delightfully diverse both in terms of ethnicity and body types, and while the plot isn't going to win any awards, the characters are fun and endearing. If you or anyone you know has ever expressed any interest in this game or the show it's based on, you likely won't be disappointed. [Issue #53 – July/August 2021, p. 70]

    Ultimately DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power does exactly what it has set out to do, which is to create a fun, enjoyable experience for younger players. What is really surprising, however, is that adult players can also find so much enjoyment. All the basics are there, and are done to a good enough standard that if a DC fan, there are enough little nods and references to hold interest. If your children are just getting accustomed to the comic book/gaming genre, and as a parent struggle to find a suitable entrance point, this is the perfect start.
