Gamepads also worked well on PC during my test sessions, though arcade sticks are not yet officially supported.Iron Galaxy is developing this addition to the game and has announced a couple of new characters that will be joining the existing stable of fighters. The only annoying thing is that in order to import a save file onto PC, players need to first log on via Xbox One to upload it or risk erasing all their hard work.

Also, full incorporation into the PC platform by way of Windows 10, which includes a Cross-Buy and Cross-Play initiative that has worked out well for me so far.

Other Season 3 additions include a new graphical upgrade, which also smoothes over every level in the game. It’s all a little inside baseball, but new players will arrive to a less clunky game overall that consists of researched and well implemented balance changes. That includes staggering foes with a HK from Sabrewulf, or allowing the jump canceling of special moves during Instinct when blocking for Sadira. So those tweaks I was talking about? Nearly every existing character has gotten some sort of change that makes them a little more enjoyable. Tusk and Kim Wu are definitely less exciting, but they’re classic characters that certainly deserve a spot and are fun to play in their own right. While I always enjoyed Killer Instinct, it has never had this much attention to detail as part of its allure. He’s really true to the source material, and that even includes audio references. That includes bullhorns, a giant boot, and so on. Although he had a brief cameo in Shovel Knight, Battletoads as a whole has been relatively quiet, so it’s great to see Microsoft do something with it and let Iron Galaxy go all out on his animations.
