Mención a parte para el diseño Nickelodeon de los personajes que ya indica claramente las intenciones del juego. Tampoco se han molestado en llamar a D. Wise, histórico compositor de toda la música de la saga, añadiendo en este caso música rockera random durante todo el juego con alguna reinterpretacion como la del tema principal. En definitiva no se han calentado mucho la cabeza con el juego. Una pena porque siempre ha sido una saga muy querida y de calidad.… Expand

    Acho que um dos maiores pecados desse jogo é focar mais na parte do Toads do que do Battle, pois o jogo tem menos fases no Estilo Beat and Up e as corridas de moto do que nos outros estilos; E se você está fazendo um jogo do Battletoads com menos Beat and Up e corridas de moto do que os minigames, os plataformers e os space shooters, significa que você está fazendo de errado sem contar queAcho que um dos maiores pecados desse jogo é focar mais na parte do Toads do que do Battle, pois o jogo tem menos fases no Estilo Beat and Up e as corridas de moto do que nos outros estilos; E se você está fazendo um jogo do Battletoads com menos Beat and Up e corridas de moto do que os minigames, os plataformers e os space shooters, significa que você está fazendo de errado sem contar que o jogo ficou bem awkward com a Dark Queen sendo uma das mochinhas para só no final se tornar do mal, e mesmo assim ela nem faz nada.

Disappointed with the art direction as well. Why they decided to go with the Nickelodeon look is beyond me. But for what it is the game is just a meh at best. But it’s definitely a one and done. Never seeing myself go back to this. We waited 26 years and all we got was 4 stages of beat em up action. The rest is arcade mini games. Xbox did this on purpose to **** fans up so they could be like see we gave you something. Now shut up we didn’t succeed we are never making or talking about Battletoads again. Rare is a joke they aren’t even a shell of the company they use to be. Dalalalalalalala nobody’s heard of you for a reason please remain in the shadows you clearly don’t care for gamers and butchered this game on purpose for sure to end any chance of another Battletoads ever being considered. Dotemu should have been given the keys folks. Dumb art style that looks wonky and terrible. Beat ‘em up portions are so short lived it’s sad. RIP Battletoads we as fans tried to get you back to you’re glory days of battlemaniacs and double dragon.But Xbox nor Rare care about the fans. Pass on this game you ain’t missing much brothers and sisters.… Expand

    Repetitive enemies, boring levels, horrible art style, unbalanced mechanics and terrible writing made this game a pain to play. Me and my Son enjoy Coop games and most leave us thankful for the memories at least, but not Battletoads. I am so thankful to never see this game on my TV ever again. Stay clear if you have kids or else you will regret it.

    If the original Battletoads games were Metal then this new Battletoads is a crappy techno song created by a Youtuber with no musical skill.

    I grew up on Battlemaniacs and that game taught me a valuable lesson: sometimes you're just not good enough, but you CAN be! Going back to it 26 years later and FINALLY beating it was a real thrill and I understood just WHY Battletoads was awesome.

Going back to it 26 years later and FINALLY beating it was a real thrill and I understood just WHY Battletoads was awesome. Playing the game over and over again to see how far you can get is exciting. Battletoads 2020 is not.

    The problem with the game is that it's mostly a beatemup which I know the original games they had SOME fighting segments, but they were limited to the first levels and boss fights. This game also has TOO MANY minigames. The minigames aren't fun and overstay their welcome and I was really annoyed by the time I was fighting the hippie death cult.

    I'm not a huge fan of the character designs. The enemies are so forgettable. What happened to General Slaughter? Robo Manus, Big Blag, Lord Karnath, Silas Volkmire, WHERE'S ANYONE!? Also, WHO thought redesigning the Dark Queen that way was a good idea? That design is proof that Rare is not Rare anymore. It's hijacked by SJWs who don't understand why Rare's games were awesome.

    On the positive side, I DID laugh at some of the jokes. Like the running gag about the Battletoads being brothers.

    Overall, this game makes me sad because I'm a huge Battletoads fan and I wanted them to make a comeback, but it really sucks and it's boring.    … Expand

    Самое хорошее что есть в этой игре, это музыка, все остальное не заслуживает внимания.
    На экране твориться какое-то безумие. Куча противников, все пестрое, яркое, не понять где сам игрок. После нескольких часов игры, перестаешь понимать что происходит, уровни переходят от слабого боя, к куче какой-то хрени, для игры в атоматы. То проходишь уровень для релакса жабы, который унылый как не знаю что, то начинаешь стрелять со стремного корабля в космосе. Уровни на корабле, по ремонту корабля, и выполнения всякой фигня на "олимпийских играх" делал вообще какой-то имбицил. Про ремонт корабля вообще отдельная беседа, ничего не подсвечивается, сначала делаешь ошибку, чтобы понять что крутить, потом крутишь....
    Ремейк легенды не получился от слова совсем, к покупке не советую ни кому, в черту такие перезапуски.

You erased my review just because you hate the truth : You can be sue .Be very aware about what you are doing. I finish this game and now every piece of information makes sense. The designer of battletoads 2020 said this in a conference:

    Veteran freelance artist Lucy (Loukia) Kyriakidou addressed the need for more diverse bodies in games during her talk at Develop:Brighton yesterday. If you look at the main characters from the best selling games of 2018 (which she did, see below), it’s interesting to see how they’re not very different from one another and mostly show the same body types.

    Currently working on Battletoads’ characters and having extensive experience in character design, Kyriakidou explained simply why change is needed: “It is the right thing to do and it is what players want,” she said. “Studies have shown that players do want more diversity in games – and that’s general diversity, not just bodies. More than 50 per cent of gamers do believe that it’s getting better but we need to do more than just try to tick a box. Games have a social responsibility. We’re responsible for a lot of screen time in people’s lives so to not hold yourself accountable for the impact games have on people’s lives is no longer an option.

    “Also, accuracy is not an excuse not to have women and people of colour in your game. It’s not wrong to have muscular men and hourglass women bu we need to represent our audience better and the people who are actually playing our games. It’s great to have NPCs that are body diverse but it’s better to have the same for a protagonist.”

    “To not hold yourself accountable for the impact games have on people’s lives is no longer an option.”

    She shared her tips for artists who want to overcome projecting their own ideals: “The best way to get better is to review your work, see where you are now and see where you want to be in the future. I review my work every year.”

    Reviewing her earlier work she realised there was a “not a lot of diversity in anything” and she needed to leave her comfort zone: “You need to push yourself because no one is going to do for you.”

    Limited design skills can also be a factor as you end up “reaffirming you own ideals by creating a default for yourself” and always creating the same body shape over and over. Once again you need to push yourself to go beyond this default.

    Finally there’s also a personal aspect in this, which seems to have been the trigger for Kyriakidou to start championing body diversity in her character design: “I realised I wasn’t even representing myself in my art and I found that very hurtful. I had internalised that what I looked like needed fixing or stylised in order for the imperfections to go away.”

    Most of the main characters from the best selling games of 2018 show the same body type
    Among her tips for artists, she advised them to challenge their own biases by making researches on body types and find resources they can work from (one of them being ‘Olympics bodies’, as photographed by Howard Schatz for his Athlete book: you can see a few of these photos on this page).

    She also advised to create moodboards “to force yourself to do some research.” She highlighted that bodies don’t necessarily look the same depending on the culture as well, saying for instance that the ‘typical’ woman in Greece doesn’t look the same than the one in the UK – and neither does her body type.

    Character redesign exercises are also good practice: “Fan art is amazing – if you take a character that already exists and recreate it you can really understand the impact of their story on their body type,” and it allows you to practice different shapes.

    “Introduce body diversity to your personal work” as well, Kyriakidou recommended. “Draw from personal experiences and relationships and always review your work to avoid stereotypes. Weight is NOT a personality trait. No, big characters are not always funny.”    … Expand

    Juggling genres is the series’ trademark and the latest game offers much larger variety in that aspect than any of its predecessor. Most of the genres were tackled well enough, but not all ideas are spot-on and almost every part of the game could be improved. It is the best Battletoads game to date though and it would’ve scored higher if it wasn’t for one frustrating and infuriating section towards the end of the campaign. [11/2020, p.55]
