This new Battletoads adventure is developed by Dlala Studios and has the support of the creator of the Rare series.For those unfamiliar with Battletoads, follow Zitz, Rash, and Pimple as they battle “the Dark Queen and her abominable allies, in an action that unfolds across a variety of beat ’em up stages, platforms, and races.”
The original Battletoads were known for their difficulty, but Dlala is giving players more options on how they want to play. These options include cooperative sofa mode and multiple difficulty settings that “will suit everyone from Tadpole to Battletoad.”
Battletoads features a hand-animated art style and “pays homage to the elegant and conscientious caricature of the late 1990s.”
In our practice of the new Battletoads, we said that while it’s still tough, it’s no longer sadistic, and “It felt like playing like Dante or Kratos before parenthood, and I mean that in a good way.”
