I played a few levels yesterday. Not sure how I feel about it just yet, given a chunk of what I played felt like a tutorial. But I am impressed and look forward to playing more.

I can see people disliking this game because its not like classic Battletoads games in gameplay, presentation and its basically a modern cartoon. If you take it as its own thing though, it seems to be a notable beat em' up with a fun story.

With that said, I would like to see another studio take a stab at making something like a classic Battletoads title. Maybe get a studio actively making retro-ish games to do it.

I don't get this dude @iceland . Home boy literally didn't know about a parachute in one level, but ends up getting that purge cheevo for less than 4 minutes in it. Unreal.  

Went 0-100 real quick 



Finally fired it up. Not bad at all. Gotta get deeper into it, though. Probably gonna bump the difficulty down and just plow through it.



Beat it two days ago I give it a 7.5/10. The overall presentation is good the voice acting is excellent and it has a decent variety of levels. Would have been nice if it would have had some more beat em up levels, online play, and if the collectables that are present in some levels would have actually unlocked some bonus features.



Well this certainly sucks my xbox one controllers aren't working and the ones I ordered won't be here until september 3rd at the earliest. So it's either I wait or buy a controller from a local store for $85

Beat the game. Fun and silly. Need more beat em up levels but have good variety . Solid 74 for me and a good fundation for a new series of games with this IP.
