PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle is a fun couch co-op game that should be played with friends and family alike. It's not perfect by any means, but it manages to do the job and entertain at the same time.

Although the budget is clearly limited, this is a game that puts the franchise to a good use. It's not outstanding, but it is enjoyable.

Power Rangers: Mega Battle captures the player with the promise of nostalgia but has no elements capable of restraining it once vanished the effect of the memories.

Quotation forthcoming.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle disappointingly fails to live up to its genre predecessors. Those who love the Rangers and don't mind playing a substandard beat 'em up should check it out but it isn't much of a game to widely recommend.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle is a game charged by great nostalgic moments and fan service, but its bad game mechanics and poor level design makes it a forgettable experience.

The only cliche that might be true about this game, is that people that love Power Rangers will have fun with it. But if you are looking for a good beat 'm up, there are many games that are actually worth your time.

Ultimately, Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle is lacking in so many ways. The basic combat system lacks polish, and boss fights look cool but are boring to actually play. The presentation also feels unfinished, with missing bouts of audio and a pause that occurs at inopportune times rather often. It gets the modes right, and the presence of local co-op is appreciated, but none of that matters when the basics aren't up to snuff. It might be fine for young kids, but fans who are looking for a throwback to their SNES/Genesis days would be better served by digging up those titles instead.

Whether you’re a hardcore fan of the show, someone who watched the original series as a kid, or someone who’s excited for the new movie, I’d stay away from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle. The Rangers deserve something that’s more than a cheap cash-in, but I doubt we’ll see anything like that anytime soon.

Overall, the game is on the short side, but the difficulty and having one life will help you time last. For a digital only game, it’s not too bad if you’re a diehard fan. Otherwise, you may find yourself getting easily frustrated.
