The DC Super Hero Girls franchise has soared through the air, flaunting its colorful characters and all the heroic teenage drama that ensues. In 'DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power' for the Nintendo Switch, players are thrown into the glittering yet chaotic world of Super Hero High. Are you ready to skip the dumpster fire of teenage angst along the way as you save the day? Brace yourselves, because as the reviews say, the only thing more explosive than the action in this game is the high school gossip!
Gameplay varies from classic beat 'em up styles to interactive story elements resembling a less intense 'who's got the better selfies' contest. You switch between characters like Batgirl, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl, each wielding not just their superpowers but also some witty one-liners. The plot? Save the school from dastardly villains while juggling homework and social lives—just like real life, except there are actual explosions. Expect fetch quests, which are like chores, except you can call them missions, and battles against iconic foes like the ever-charming but equally troublesome Harley Quinn. Think of it as a superhero-themed episode of your favorite teen drama—but with no shortage of butt-kicking.
Let’s talk graphics, or should I say eye candy? The game invokes a colorful, vibrant aesthetic reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. It’s a style that feels like it’s on roller skates—lively and full of energy. Arena battles and the engaging environments pop out in all their exaggerated charm. Every character looks like they just stepped out of a comic book, and frankly, it’s refreshing to have a break from the murky army of browns and grays that games too often wallow in. Characters have smooth animations, making it feel less like a game and more like you’re controlling a real life cartoon—minus the Jell-O mold disasters.
'DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power' is a light-hearted romp through the trials and tribulations of super-being adolescence. While it may not offer the deep storytelling or intense mechanics that some may crave, it shines in capturing the whimsical essence of superhero life combined with high school drama. Filled with humor, charm, and a healthy dose of action, it’s perfect for those who like their gaming with a side of sass and accessible adventures. So, grab your cape and get ready to save your school, because this game is worth checking out—even if you might end up laughing at your own teenage mistakes while doing so.
