About

Fresh from her recent defeat at the Battle of Canis Major, the Dark Queen decides to take out her aggressions on her archenemies, the Battletoads. The 'Toads and their mentor, Professor T-Bird, are currently escorting Princess Angelica home to her father, the Terran Emperor. During a rest stop, Pimple takes Angelica out for a drive in the Toadster, but the vehicle and its occupants are swallowed up by the Dark Queen's ship, the Gargantua, and taken to her tower on planet Ragnarok. Rash and Zitz are quickly sent down to Ragnarok's surface to rescue their friends, unaware of the dangers that await them, but willing to chance it all on their rescue mission.

AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Contra

If you crave Battletoads' relentless side-scrolling action and punishing difficulty, Contra delivers a similar high-octane, run-and-gun experience where every pixel matters.

Cuphead

Trade Battletoads' brawling for bullet-hell boss fights, but keep the cartoon aesthetic and the 'git gud' mentality. Cuphead is a masterclass in challenging, visually stunning action.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma

For a more modern take on unforgiving action, Ninja Gaiden Sigma offers brutal hack-and-slash combat and challenging boss encounters that will push your reflexes to their limits, much like Battletoads.
