VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “As an honest-but-hopeful doubter of the project upon first glance, I’m happy to report Battletoads is a really good game. Being a couple warts shy of toadal greatness is something Dlala Studios should take pride in. Despite making a ‘gameplay homage’ to the franchise, I also can’t fault them for taking a different tonal direction than fans expected, especially when they went all-in on their bet. It’s easy to see budget constraints in respect to lacking online co-op at launch (in a Microsoft title?) and less graphical sophistication compared to contemporaries; and yet, the effervescent attitude towards its collection of enjoyable gameplay concepts and jokes make the ride worth it.”
