This update adds a number of gameplay features and improvements designed to increase the replayability of the title and also allow for a bit more personalization in relation to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The new features include:
Power Blast - Each Ranger now has the ability to knock away nearby enemies within a small range, using a special attack, but at the cost of a bit of character health (if the attack actually hits an enemy). A Power Blast can be performed by pressing the ATTACK and SUPER ATTACK buttons simultaneously.
Ground Recovery - When knocked back by an enemy, players can time a button press to perform a ground recovery, versus landing on the ground. This will allow players to recover from an enemy attack and start attacking again quickly versus landing on the ground and then needing to get up. A ground recovery can be performed by pressing the DODGE button before landing on the ground.
Ranger stats upgrade system - After completing a level, players can now upgrade aspects of their Ranger. This system will convert the score that player earns on a level into points which can be then utilized to upgrade three different stats:
- Strength (STR)
- Defense (DEF)
- Speed (SPD)
Rangers also now start the game with slightly different stats from each other to further reinforce a bit more variety between the characters.
Morphers - Once a player finishes the game at least once, they will be able to start a new game and select from a variety of gameplay modifiers. Our hope is that these additional features will further encourage replayability as players try out all the different permutations of options available.
Remappable controls - Players are able to customize their controls as needed by selecting the “CHANGE CONTROLS” option located on the “MOVES LIST” screen.
