Gpower ranger games5/2/2023 ![]() Sometimes the enemies don’t know which way to face and beat the ever-living crap out of a wall that I was standing on for a brief moment. I went through entire stages without taking one hit. Sure, there are blue ones and red ones sometimes, but they don’t provide much additional challenge. I mentioned that this game was a repetitive hack-and-slash, and the reason for that is largely due to the fact that throughout the entire game you won’t see much more than green ninja guys coming at you. Or at least they would with competent enemies, which leads me to my secondary issue with combat: the enemies are all the same. And when hordes of enemies drop in to surround you, your attacks make your six extremely vulnerable. What I mean by this is that the animations are slow, each strike carries the Power Ranger forward a little bit, and it is very difficult to turn around. My primary issue with combat in Power Rangers Megaforce is that the Power Rangers “lean into” their attacks. So am I one of the established Power Rangers or am I an ally of the Megaforce? The face photo thing detracts from the game more than it adds to it. But then in that animation, you become one of the pre-existing Power Rangers. In the game, you have agreed to fight alongside the Power Rangers against the forces of evil. ![]() Not only is this cheap and stupid, but it’s also contradictory to the story. Take a photo of your face and watch a cheap animation play over the photo, turning you into one of the Power Rangers. Another tacked on addition to the game is photo morphing. The constant chatter adds nothing to the game, it adds nothing to the story, and it is never used to develop the characters into what Saban originally intended. Every two seconds or so, one of them will say one of a few lines of dialogue, sometimes pertaining to what you have to do in a certain section, but most often it’s not. I never thought I would say this, but I desperately need the Power Rangers to shut up. Also throughout the level is random commentary from the inactive Power Rangers. Take Gaori coins, for example: scattered throughout the level, yet there’s no way to spend them. There is a metric ton of superfluous garbage thrown into the game. Sure, sometimes one Ranger comes out of nowhere and kills enemies, but it feels like the Mighty Eagle in Angry Birds more than actual teamwork. Also, here seems to be the best place to pose this question: if the show emphasizes friendship and teamwork, why is this not a co-op game? In each stage you can switch between Power Rangers using the L and R buttons, but that’s it. Jake never drags Noah into anything, Gia and Emma’s relationship is nonexistent, none of that. There’s a menu option which gives brief descriptions of each character, and while they’re relatively accurate, none of it shows in the game. The characters are completely devoid of their personalities from the show, even in the cutscenes. I can’t say the same about Access Digital or Digital Works. I did not watch Power Rangers as a kid, but I’m pretty familiar with the story. Don’t waste your time or money on this one. It’s a repetitive hack and slash with fighting mechanics that never should have made it out of the alpha testing phase. It feels soulless and uninspired by the source material. ![]() ![]() It’s a repetitive hack and slash with Power Rangers Megaforce is a cash grab. ![]()
