The DLC Report: Power Rangers - Battle for the Grid Season 1 Jen Scott, Gold Zeo Ranger

 Now we've got a proper game!

 Well, then, the first two characters from the 3-character season pass are here, alongside a few quality of life tweaks here and there. Besides the individual characters' buffs and nerfs, they added Power Rangers-style sparks whenever a weapon hits a character, which is a pretty neat touch. You also get a blue/red shine whenever a player switches characters when tagging, which is alright by me.

 As for the new characters, we've got the Pink Time Force Ranger, she's a rushdown character that's pretty fun to use. Plus, she wields two swords which instantly made me love her. On the other hand, we've got the Gold Zeo Ranger, and he is a blast to play. While I'm not a fan of his staff, they added little flourishes to most of his basic moves and even to his backstep, making him a very fun character to control. His super move is a delayed 'rain from above' type move, like the Green Ranger's, but you can swap him out and the attack will still come out, so it might do for some shenanigans. Overall, both characters are pretty good.

 I'm happy to announce that after this patch I can say that this is a proper game. The 14 character roster is acceptable and the gameplay is good fun. It still needs a bit more polishing, like a few extra single-player modes(Survival, anyone?), at least 10 more characters and a few more options, like letting players change the difficulty setting. But the game is on the right track.
 7.0 out of 10
