While Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is a competent enough fighting game, the main setback is the limited amount of content on offer. Anything extra is also stuck behind a paywall, which tends to be a common practice within modern fighting games.
In an attempt to improve the situation, nWay says it is listening to the community's feedback. As proof, the developer will be adding three new fighters to the game as free downloadable content. These characters in update one will include Dragon Armour Trini, Udonna and Cenozoic Blue Ranger, all drawing on Power Ranger's extensive history.
Somehow, this announcement caused some confusion, with the game's official Twitter account having to clarify these newly announced characters were not the same as the fighters in the season one pass. This paid seasonal content will be arriving separately at a later date.
If nWay continues to be this generous, would you perhaps consider purchasing Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid in the future? Tell us down in the comments.

Good start, love Trini being in there. I'd still need that roster to fill out a bit more, though. Hoping for bigger and better things going forward.
Every ranger in this game looks ugly so sorry but I gotta say I'll probably pass on this entire game. This is not how I remember these rangers.
I'll pass, but please give the people who bought it more free characters. With such pitiful base content, you owe the purchasers it.
At least there's a Blue Ranger now, but not one from the show
I loved Power Rangers as a kid and I kinda like the simplicity of it. Almost reminds me of 90's fighting games. Just missing my man Alpha-5 😂
I kinda want them to fix the problems with the game before adding DLC.
Well, Udonna's definitely a great and unexpected addition, not sure about the other two. I'd prefer we got a few more core characters before they continue to add on ones that aren't from core canon. Like, give us Time Pink, RPM Black, Jungle Fury Purple, Space Blue, whatever.
Well, I'm still holding out til this inevitably goes on sale with the DLC included.
Is it to much to ask for a complete game with unlockable characters rather than being a micro transaction slot machine?
That’s some pretty left field Rangers to include. I’m still holding out for Ryan and Chase.
@link3710 I hope everyone does this and sends out a message - even with three extra fighters this model of selling games will not be accepted
I'm glad to hear they're adding free updates. I'm on the fence because I don't know how much replay value I'll get from this game, but I got a 20% discount from Nintendo for my birthday this month so I might end up getting it.
@Thwomp_Stomper They actually have a render of Alpha 5 in the digital artbook, so you never know
The game is really good on the mechanics side. It only needs more pulish and more budget.
Nice! These free chars look great, and visually distinct from the current roster
In playing a bit more lately, I think the game could use more voice acting, not having iconic battle quotes ( during the intro pre fight, during, and victory quote) or more dramatic KO's does make the characters feel a bit empty feeling, compared to a lot of other fighting games. I guess if you're familiar with the source material that may help, but in lieu of being able to get the official VA's, unknown if hardcore fans would think it better or not to have random ppl voicing. From a game standpoint of getting players more interested or rallying behind certain fighters, I still think it'd help tho
I want the promised story mode. Will not buy until then
If they add in the Megazord Battles from the Mobile Game i'm all in.
I do like my Street Fighters but I guess it upsets the core fan base of the mobile game when you use them.
Is the movie blue ranger gonna tell everyone to go to Krispy Kreme?
They added in one of those abomination movie rangers?
@DeltaPeng STRONGLY agree with the fights feeling a bit flat n dry.... surprising for a series that's built on pre n post fight dialogue, energetic soundtracks, and HUUUUUGE explosions n special effects, I'm surprised that part was left out. I mean, a budget title like Fight of Gods nailed 2 out of the 3 (dialogue and ((cheap looking)) explosive finishers). You just kinda feel like the characters... expire.... ya know? Also wish thry yelled out something during actual attacks like, I dunno "DINO RUSH" or "SPINNING BLADE" sooooooomething more than a few RARE grunts when getting hit
@Malcrash Not in this game, because that would count as product placement.
15-20 bucks for the game and season 1 in a bundle at some point will probably get me in the door. I dont even play fighters that much but good god did I ever love the first few seasons of that tv show.
@YoshiAngemon But it's integrated in the 2017 movie so hard (like, it's literally a plot device), so it has to be a shot in the dark possibility
Two of the three characters are meh at best. Why the Cenozoic Blue Ranger? Just give us RJ Cyler's version of Billy. What's the deal with Trini in dragon armor? Do we also get standard Trini?? Udonna is the only one in this group I'm chill with. The Boom comics, as good as they are, simply have too much representation in this game. It's starting to feel like "Power Rangers: Mega Fanfiction" than a game celebrating the 25 years of the TV show.
Awesome adding more people. . But the blue ranger doesn't count.. he should of already been in the game.. And if they don't add Lord Zedd.. End boss fight against him and lord drakkon. Or zedd gold and rita... but I really think IVAN OOOOOOOZE would be SIIICK. and why not ALPHA 5.. AND ZORDON RANGER STYLE.. AND WHY WONT MORTAL KOMBAT OR SOMEBODY MAKE A TAG TEAM GAME MODE /PLAYLIST .how bad ass would it be to control 1 ranger/character and tag in and out with your teammates.. a real 3v3. Best of 3rounds..
@JedRock Here's hoping they patch some of that in later, it may end up feeling campy, but it'd give it a lot more personality and something (even if it's cheesy) for fans to rally behind
