I give it a 7 out of 10. The humor won't land with everyone (it makes me yell "YOUTHS" a lot and shake my fist at a cloud as an old man) but the game is a lot of fun. Act III in the campaign is a bit stretched out for my liking. There is no built in online co op for some reason which is borderline criminal.

I'm unsure where all the hate for this game comes from, The humor is set out to be exactly what the devs intended and I enjoyed it. Really enjoyed the scooter missions and the space missions. base combat is pretty good and gives a good difficulty

Really fun. Has some crazy range of gameplay types. Core is the OG beat-em-up that does get as difficult as the originals. Would love to see an entire tv show done in the style of the cinematics.

I went into the Battletoads reboot expecting an easy target—a quick playthrough, a few jokes about the art style, and done. But the more I played, the more I felt that this game didn’t deserve the reputation it had. The beat 'em up sections are an absolute blast, the art style is vibrant and fun, and the music is spot-on. The writing is generally solid—though when it’s bad, it's really bad. But those moments are the exception, not the rule. I ended up genuinely enjoying it, and it’s a shame that the game didn’t get a fairer shake. It’s got a lot to offer, and I’d totally recommend giving it a shot if you have the chance. It’s unfortunate that a sequel doesn’t seem likely because I’d love to see what they could do with a follow-up.

I mean this game is fine. I enjoyed the soundtrack and was able to get some laughs from its humor every now and then. The gameplay, for me, often boiled down to either button mashing or move spamming. I appreciate its completely 2D art style because i'm just a sucker for that sort of thing. As I'm sure you can see from my own play time, it is a fairly short game. I remember finishing it and thinking "that's it?" I recommend it just because I don't think it was bad enough for me not to but it is easily one of the most meh games I've played. If you're really curious to try it out, at least wait until it goes on sale
