    If you gre up in the 90s, your probably a huge fan of the power rnagers and im no exeption, so needless to say I was excited to hop in battle for the grid and go through its 4 hour long campaign, of altnernate universes,,, taking down the bad guy tommy… and Battle for the Grid actually pleasantly surprised me with its interesting story.. it pulled me through the otherwise very lackluster fighting game, of coure you can play arcade, vesus and online.. but the meat of this game is its story mode.. here you will be playing on both sides, so you really get a good feel for all of this games characters much like a mortal combat or injustice campaign, unfortunately though there isn’t much to this game other than a quick little power rangers story to go through, the content is lacking and the the combat here is lacklsuter and button mashy, not really that fun…
    battles again quickly turn into button mashing hoping an attack goes through the ais spam blocking.. playing through this campaign is like playing a fighting game with yoru little brother or sister.. its just annoying and stops any hectic or cool battles from ever happenings.. though the campaign in battle for the grid does offer a bit of challenge from time to time and attempts to bring out some strategy which I can appreciate, but ultimately it comes doen to which attack should I spam until I fill up a special attack or a super move, as the mosty difficult battles are usually unfairly balanced, youll sometimes be taking on 2 to 3 enemies at a times, with sometimes a combination of 6 health bars while you only have 2 or 3… but these are the battles I found to be the most fun, even the tag team type battles where the added strategy of swapping characters comes into play.. though ther aren’t that many characters here.. only 12 with 6 being hid behind a $6 each pay wall… and even more gross is, one of these characters stuck behind a paywall is actually playable within the campaign… complete greedy garbage on the part of this team, sure battle for the grid is only $20 and otherwise id say its worth it, but I just don’t feel such tactic should be rewarded, thankfully though Power Ranger Battle for the Grid is included with Games Pass, and other than that, playstation plus or games with gold are the only times you should consider this game..
    I give Power Rangers Battle for the Grid

    If you get it on gamepass, it's a fun game to drop some hours into, some of the art is really nice and it's a surprisingly mature story. Don't expect a lot though, the fighting mechanics are a bit too sluggish.

    Marvel vs Capcom but with Power Rangers - i'm pretty sure this was the pitch for this game. Not that that's a bad thing, but the problem is MVC has something like 30 characters, this has about 12. Yes could spend £5 each on dlc to buy some new characters... Anyway. I enjoyed this. I think it's a bit unbalanced and it's quite easy to cheese victory with the Red Ranger, but I enjoyed it. IMarvel vs Capcom but with Power Rangers - i'm pretty sure this was the pitch for this game.

    It's not amazing, but fun for a few hours.    … Expand

    At the end of the day, Battle for the Grid is a solid fighting game. In fact, it is a really good one. The systems work well, it looks flashy and fun, and there’s a decent learning curve to keep players busy. The only thing that really holds it back is the lack of a community. Granted, I am doing this review later on since it released, but I would hope for more than 20 people online playing at the same time. Fighting game fans should give this one a shot if they haven’t already. Maybe bolster up the online community a bit. If that can be done, we’ll have a grand fighter on our hands.

    Surprisingly deep and fun to play, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid lacks content to remain engaging in the long term.

    I don’t think Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is designed to be a throwback to simpler times, but that is how this feels. It’s just a shame really that there isn’t more of everything.
