    Very boring game. Should have been a mobile game. I like playing this when I have insomnia since it puts me right to sleep.

    This game is as cool as it is frustrating. Some "mini games" are very nice but there are other ones that are stupidly made or just annoying. I enjoyed the first 2 acts of the game but the 3rd and 4th are reaaally frustrating. I finished the 3rd but can’t get pass the 4th. Because of that, it can’t be more than a 6/10 but I would have liked giving it a 8 if it were not because of the last act.

    Fells like old platform games and that is good, even they made it more modern cartoon, the game concept and sound is pretty good and have its difficult if you play on batletoads mode. The split screen mode is a must nowadays, and the only complaint reasonable that can be done here is that it could be more longer than it actually is.

    jogo muito bom, bem nostálgico e desafiador, a arte do jogo é meia estranha, mas com o passar do tempo tu começa a gostar

    The game is so under rated , it deserve people to play it and see for them self .
    giving it low rating because you only hate the platform is just sick , people need to grow up.

    I didnt leave the controller until i finished the game from start to end.

    I dont really understand the negative reviews. Maybe the design change put some people off, but 10/0? Wtf?

    Game is definetly a quality one, one of the best and most varied beat m ups out there. Its just fun to paly and the humor is great. Try it out on GamePass at least, its a really fun game. I was off with the design as well first but if you actually play the game, its just grow on you.

    What an absolute romp! Battletoads (2020) reminds me of why I became a gamer in the first place. A mix of nostalgia, humor, and challenge make this game a must-play. 3-hour campaign (longer than previous entries of Battltoads of the past), hilarious cartoon cutscenes, and a-Rockin' soundtrack is (the soundtrack is available on Spotify and iTunes) creates an awesome package.

    My only gripe though...NO ONLINE CO-OP? That is a travesty all in itself. Would have scored higher, but this games screams online multiplayer.

    Other than that, GamePass. Play it. No GamePass? $19.99 which is not bad. Have a toad-ally good time!    … Expand

    O melhor do jogo está no humor e carisma dos personagens. O jogo tem uma trilha sonora foda com um bom rock pesado que casa muito bem com casa fase. A história do jogo não deixa a desejar a ninguém e te prende facilmente a ponto de vc imaginar que está vendo uma animação ou seriado.

    Great game, good mechanics and funny moments. Is very hard like the old ones if you play on hard diff and collect all the collectibles. The designs are pretty nice and the animations too.

    Very colorful, funny and difficult, this game one problem is it is to short and you end up wanting more. Their humour is amazing and it's a fun run to all ages. Playing with friends is even better

O jogo tem vários tipos de fases diferentes e alguns mini games. O jogo conseguiu inovar mesmo ao mesmo tempo em que homenageia os games da década de 90. Joguei no nível "Sapo", que seria o médio, e achei que está adequado, talvez o nível "Battletoads" faz jus ao nível de dificuldade da série. O humor é algo que está sempre presente, em alguns momentos parece um desenho animado. Recomendo o jogo, para quem achou curto, acho que está adequado com a proposta do jogo.

    Battletoads doesnt deserve any of the hate its getting. Im talking about the 0/10s about people whining about character design and art direction. Thats pathetic.

    This game is about 20 pounds in the UK and has a 6 hour story which is justified by that price tag, and gamepass availability. It starts out quite strong with core gameplay being focused on it being a beat em up, but battletoads also isnt afraid to venture into other genres, like the originals. I really enjoyed the combat but i thought that some combos were difficult to pull off on the xbox controller. This would probably be better on a keyboard.

    Cutscenes in this game can come across as quite "childish" but also made me laugh out loud on many occasions. The writing for each character is great and they comedically balance eachother's personality.

    I said that this game starts out strong, and this is because the game loses its identity at around the 3-4 hour mark. I think they try and venture too deep into different genres and you dont have a single beat em up sequence for a long time. As i said before, this game is a beat em up at the core, and it became a sort of mess in the middle, which some people will take as a positive, but i took as a slight negative, as the beat em up parts is where battletoads flourishes. The story also starts to drag at this point, theyre trying to fill in content for a simple story, and dont execute it too well. However the gameplay more or less make up for this (atleast for me)

    I think in the end, battletoads (2020) is a light hearted, humorous arcade sorta game, which can be enjoyed the first time round, but isnt something to be replayed as there isnt too much to do after. I really hope a sequel releases as it could really build upon the story and i would love to see a TV show made for this    … Expand

    Teniendo en cuenta que su precio es muy reducido. El juego es bastante divertido, la jugabilidad esta bastante lograda y fluida, es muy satisfactorio hacer combos, además que cada toad tiene sus propias características como rapidez o tanque. La mayoría de mini juegos están muy bien logrados y entretenidos. Algunos no tienen mucho sentido.

    I don't know why people hate this game, because of Dark Queen? Really? It's been 26 years, she is not that hot thing anymore)) Besides, she is not the enemy now, so there is no point to draw she like a hooker. This game is so much fun, great animations and graphics. The gameplay is so fluent and fun. I'm a fan of Battletoads and Double Dragon too. Also, cutscenes feel like cartoons, so cool.

    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]

    The game certainly lives up to the original iconic classic: unbridled action, multi-genre not to bore, and pointless difficulty peaks.
