Beat-'em-up is the game's bread and butter, but comprises fewer than half of the levels.

While I loved the feeling of bouncing from one game genre to another, I found myself wishing there were more classic brawling levels.

That gameplay variety has its drawbacks, though. Presented in a great Saturday morning cartoon style, the Battletoad trio of Rash, Zitz, and Pimple have been trapped in a virtual reality hole, living out a life where they’ve been worshiped as heroes for the past 26 years. It sounds weird to say, especially for this notoriously narratively light genre, but one of the biggest things that kept me enticed was the story. This year beat 'em up kind of games are definitely trending and I can count the large number released this year in the same genre. This year Battletoads is a beat 'em up video game developed by Dlala Studios under supervision of Rare and published by Xbox Game Studios.
