It looks like a third grader drew that rainbow on Microsoft Paint. Even Power Rangers Mega Battle had the original theme song being played during its most adrenaline-packed moments for crying out loud. It’s best for you to play this game on mute while listening to the original Power Rangers tune on Youtube. All we have here is a bunch of unenthusiastic battle tunes, a few grunts, and some very compressed sound effects. There isn’t a lot of it here: no licensed Power Rangers music, no voice acting, no decent sound effects, no nothing. The sound design, or what Battle for the Grid considers it to be “sound design”, is also incredibly poor. It makes the original special effect from the early 90’s look like Avatar in comparison. I don’t think I have ever seen a more hideous gaming asset in my life than this game’s iteration of Zordon. The textures are archaic, the lighting effects are almost nonexistent, and the props look like they’re part of a PC being run on below minimal settings. The whole whopping four arenas available for you to bash your brains out look like they came out straight from a Nintendo 64 game. I thought Dead or Alive 6 had a somewhat bland arcade mode, but compared to this, that game is offering something as good as the Subspace Emissary.Įven though the character models are decent, the same can’t be said about the backgrounds. The game offers online multiplayer, local fights, a tutorial and the blandest arcade mode I’ve ever seen. This one of the most bare bones fighting games I’ve played in years. This is a game devoid of content to a nearly offensive degree. The game as a whole feels rushed and not worth its price tag. Sadly, this where I’ll stop praising Battle for the Grid. I also need to point out that surprisingly enough, this game features a pretty good inplementation of cross-platform functionality, as you can fight against PC and Xbox One players while playing on the Switch. The combat might be a tad repetitive, often relying too much on building up your special meter in order to unleash an ultimate attack, but it’s easy to learn, meaning anyone can pick this game up and play it in no time. Each character has their own combos and strategies, and the controls are responsive enough. The character designs are decent and the combat system isn’t that bad. Let’s start with what this game did right. That’s a beautiful elevator pitch, but the actual results are disastrous. Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is a tag-team fighting game intended as a love letter to the classic Tokusatsu franchise, reuniting characters from different eras and seasons in a three versus three battle format. The cheap sparks looked a lot cooler on the TV show.
