The Power Rangers Fighting Game Adds Three New Rangers And A Story Mode

Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is a solid little fighting game in desperate need of strong single-player content and more mighty morphin' combatants . Developer nWay attends to those needs today in a batch of free downloadable content featuring three new fighters, a full-fledged story mode, voice-overs from series cast members, and more.

I haven't checked this out at all, but it seems like maybe it would be tough to make each character feel different enough. (That armored one aside) Does each character have a distinct feel? Because if they don't, I'm not sure more fighters is going to help anything. Maybe I'm just being fooled by the fact that they're all dressed like Power Rangers, so visually they're not that diverse.

At least in the original "Mighty Morphin" series (can't speak for the later ones) , each of them had a different weapon (sword, bow, axe, lance, daggers) that they almost always ignored in lieu of karate. The game could distinguish them a little bit like that, plus making them "handle" differently.
That said, I think the reason people want more is because they want to play as their favorites. I think a bunch of clones/reskins would make a lot of people happy.

I think that's one of the reasons they have so few characters. Rather than trying to tap into the huge roster the show' s had they focused more on picking ones that were distinctive. I haven't played it either but from the videos I saw the 9 they had seemed to play uniquely.

H/o you make a Power Rangers video game that needs voice acting and you don't get the person who is one of the prolific voice actors in the industry who was ALSO a power ranger, Johnny Yo ng Bos ch ?!

Because sadly they chose the Black ranger sentinel who isn't the Black Ranger. Its one of Drakkon's guards.

The New Power Rangers Fighting Game Could Use A Lot More Power Rangers

The colorful, spandex-clad martial artists of Power Rangers are the perfect subject for a basic but enjoyable three-on-three fighting game like Battle for the Grid. But with 26 seasons of television featuring more than 140 different heroes, the starting roster should at least be in the double digits, and not nine.
I was super excited whenPower Rangers: Battle for the Grid was announced for the...

Ranger Slayer is Kim, not Kelly. She was brainwashed to be Drakkon/Tommy's top henchmen, but eventually betrayed him to join the good guys and is now with a bunch of other unused/little-used-in-the-TV-show Rangers in a new comic.
Anyway, it's really stupid that 2/3 of the roster is Mighty Morphin' based and half of that 2/3 is from the comic books. And all the DLC revealed so far is from MMPR, though apparently Zeo Gold Ranger was datamined as well as RJ from Jungle Fury and unnamed Blue and Silver Rangers .
What makes this even more egregious is that this a 3-on-3 fighter like Marvel vs. Capcom 3 or Dragon Ball FighterZ. The roster for FighterZ felt limiting that it was almost three times the amount this game has.
You can't even blame not getting the actors back, because unless Story Mode has some intricate spoken dialog, this game has everyone silent most of the time. They don't even say anything when introducing themselves before the fight. The only time anyone says anything is when performing a certain special move, and that single line of dialogue is drowned out by the music and sound effects. They barely even grunt.
I get not wanting to put in all 120+ Rangers, since you can't just copy and paste everybody like in the Dragon Ball Z Budokai games, but a starting roster of 25 or so would be a good beginning. Hell, I have no idea why the non-MMPR people were chosen. Gia I can kinda understand because her actress has been very involved in the community and she was in that fan film a while back, but Magna Defender is pretty random while Kat Ranger was only in one episode.

I'm not sure what you're arguing for here. On the one hand, you say that it's stupid that the majority of the cast is MMPR and by the end of the comment you're saying that it's stupid that non-MMPR people were included. Regardless, the reason MMPR is so heavily represented is that it is by far the most popular version of Power Rangers. Since launch is the most important time for any game, lead with what might sell. Regardless, the cast should have been bigger at launch with more variety.

What I feel most of the comments on this article are missing is that this game has a shoe string budget. They cant afford to have 20+ characters with full VA and have it look nice. They spent all their money making sure the netcode and gameplay was good. They hired MvC champions Justin Wong & Cl0ckwork to help make sure the game played well and they even implemented crossplay.

No Amy Jo Johnson, no deal.
But hey, o n the bright side it's refreshing that a game launching incomplete with a roadmap to address missing features and content at some ambiguous later date after they have your money isn't a looter shooter.

Her character is a DLC skin for ranger slayer.
(Spoilers, Ranger Slayer is Kim from the Dr akkon universe)
Chanaluss Mar 29, 2019
well, Kimberly is represented, just an evil alternate universe version. Its a start.

And it probably won't live up to this one

Now this was a Power Rangers game

Such a great game. Still have the original cart.
MegaBlastoise Jan 18, 2019
You can tell right away it's an enhanced mobile game not by the meh graphics but by the fact that they're using the logo from the movie rather than the standard Saban logo or the revamped one from Hasbro.
O's, Poes and Bohs Jan 18, 2019
It's a damn good mobile game though.
Platypus Man Jan 18, 2019
How does that have anything to do with it? Mobile games have different logo choices than console/PC?
