As you play more of the game, you'll probably gravitate towards a certain character or certain moves, but you'll still find yourself relying on all three, whether you play in single-player or local multiplayer. Part of this comes from getting acclimated to the different gameplay possibilities of Rash, Pimple, and Zitz - Pimple fills a traditional tank role, Zitz is more acrobatic, and Rash's moves have a bit more flair.
Regardless of whichever difficulty level you choose, the game will throw a fair amount of challenges at you, but there's a lot of fun in finding a way to overcome them. That Cuphead analogy carries over into the combat and gameplay of Battletoads as well, as you can safely expect to be frustrated or outsmarted by a lot of the game. It culminates in an experience that feels like Cuphead drank too much Red Bull, but in the best possible way. As you play more and more of the game, the character designs genuinely sing, and each kick, punch, or supermove feels and looks truly unique and genuinely ridiculous. It's also worth highlighting the Dark Queen's design, which keeps an empowered femme fatale energy without relying on her being scantily-clad. The same goes from Rash, Zitz, and Pimple - each has a distinct flair to themselves, as opposed to being repainted versions of the same character template. If anything, each character and villain is almost more visually distinct than in prior installments - even when your screen is cluttered with a dozen or so foes, you can easily tell them apart. Each level of the game is an array of candy-colored characters and backgrounds, but never in a way that ventures into nauseating or overwhelming. The 2D, boxy style succeeds as both a sort of send-up to the recent Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series and a showcase of eccentric animation.
Sure, the visuals of the game make some changes from the original entries in the franchise, but it translates surprisingly well within the game itself. The visual aesthetic of the Battletoads reboot has divided fans essentially from the get-go, with an array of both positive and negative responses to the exaggerated, cartoony character style. If you've ever wanted to hear the Battletoads joke about social media or menial jobs, you're in luck, because there are some humorous one-liners peppered between each stage of the game. The narrative, which both alludes to the Battletoads' history and proves to be incredibly accessible for new fans, is more of connective tissue than a driving force, but it still has quite a lot of fun with it. The reboot puts the three frogs squarely into the modern day as they try to battle the Dark Queen, other colorful foes, and the doldrums of everyday life. Battletoads centers around three anthropomorphic toads - Rash, Zitz, and Pimple - as they frequently go toe-to-toe with various villains.
