When Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid wasannounced a couple weeks ago, its debut trailer only featured about ten seconds or so of actual gameplay. Today, a slightly longer thirty second video was released by nWay, Lionsgate, andHasbrothat gives us a better look atPower Rangers: Battle for the Grid’s3v3 gameplay between the previously revealed Red, Green, and Yellow Rangers.
While the stages featured do look quite lackluster for a console game, gameplay does look fast and frenetic with a lot of room for combo potential.Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid’sSenior Product Manager Jesse Cherry did state in arecent interviewwith DualShockers that the developers are “making sure that there are combos that new players can pull off but there are still those complex combos that people who can put the time in can execute on,” and this short video seems to confirm that statement.
As I mentioned, the game is a 3v3 fighter; in fact, Jesse Cherry didn’t hide the fact thatPower Rangers: Battle for the Gridis inspired by titles like Dragon Ball FighterZ and the Marvel vs. Capcom series during our interview. He said that those games “have done great jobs of simplifying certain elements while keeping the depth,” and revealed that nWay has aimed to do the same withPower Rangers: Battle for the Grid’sfighting mechanics. Gameplay-wise, things do look promising form this trailer even if the visuals disappoint.
Despite any reservations one may have after viewing gameplay, nWay is adamant about the fact that Power Rangers: Battle for the Gridis not a mobile portand has been “made from the ground up” for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Apparently, nWay also wouldn’t mind an esports scene forming around the gameif that is what the community desires. Now that we’ve seen more gameplay,Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid’sstoryis the biggest thing still shrouded in mystery.
