Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Secondly, the gameplay itself had a variety of challenging levels that were everything but repetitive, keeping you playing level after level.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story can at times be quite juvenile in its humour, but it grew on me and I thought ended up at a good place.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, on the hardest difficulty (Battletoads) the game reminds me the original NES game, being frustratingly difficult (especially solo with jet bikes or sled), but giving you that sense of achievement when you do reach a respawn point or clear a mission.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I thought the graphics were very detailed in the beat em up parts in that cartoony way.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Inspired by Battletoads Arcade the game's combat is fast and fluid and you can repeatedly attack enemies even when they've fallen onto the ground.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game does support local 3 player co-op, as well as remote play so there should be options of getting others to join you.
