Power Rangers: Mega Battle is a 2D sidescrolling beat 'em up arcade game. The game was announced at the 2016 New York Comic Con with the teaser trailer for the game later uploaded to the Internet after the Power Rangers panel ended.
About the story
The story begins with all five teenagers arriving in Angel Grove Park beginning training until they approach a crystal. They also encounter with Bulk and Skull until the Putty Patrol continue to show one by one. Soon as the alarming numbers of Putties surround the teenagers, they're teleported to the command center. Alpha 5 and Zordon introduce themselves to the teens and a re-imagination of the first episodes coronation of making the teens rangers tends to happen. The team is sent out to fight off the Putty Patrol again; they now have the ability to morph to their ranger forms. Along the way they encounter the Mighty Minotaur, the Knasty Knight, Madame Woe, and Twin Man as a sub-bosses, the Tenga Warriors who replace the Putty Patrol when Lord Zedd replaces Rita later for failing to defeat the Power Rangers. As towers appear in the city, the rangers and their megazord destroy the towers and fight off the mega monster forms of Sepenterra, King Sphinx and Goldar no less. Tommy (brainwashed as the Evil Green Ranger) fights the rangers but eventually joins the team. Lord Zedd is defeated and the power rangers celebrate their victory. King Sphinx, a monster from the 4th episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, is a boss in the game.

Critic Reviews
The Outerhaven Productions
By Karl "Mase" SmartSaban's Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Mega Battle is a cheap cash in and the price reflects it. However the game is so bad that it's not worth buying. My recommendation is wait for it to hit one of those PS+ or Games with Gold free game deals and then maybe think about it.
Worth Playing
By Brian DumlaoUltimately, Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle is lacking in so many ways. The basic combat system lacks polish, and boss fights look cool but are boring to actually play. The presentation also feels unfinished, with missing bouts of audio and a pause that occurs at inopportune times rather often. It gets the modes right, and the presence of local co-op is appreciated, but none of that matters when the basics aren't up to snuff. It might be fine for young kids, but fans who are looking for a throwback to their SNES/Genesis days would be better served by digging up those titles instead.
New Game Network
By John FleurySimplistic, unpolished, and lacking any sense of inspiration or effort, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle will neither entice any new fans nor satisfy the nostalgic hopes of those familiar with the TV franchise’s brand of goofy action.
Nation Fusion
By LeftHook77My editor, in his wisdom, warned me that this is a kids game - the implication being that I should attempt to be fair, even though this may not necessarily be in my realm. He had a point. I kinda had a feeling I wasn't going to like this game. Frankly, I thought Power Rangers were a knock off Voltron, and as a Voltron fan, I made it a point to not enjoy Power Rangers as a child - even though watching Voltron while being sober and an adult is significantly more baffling, in all honesty. So, I did what any responsible journalist-ish dad would do, and had my kids play the game with me and will only use their ratings for the game.

By Ahmed Al-SheikhMighty Mophin’ Power Rangers: Mega Battle is not a perfect game. It’s a decent enough multiplayer brawler, but it’s not going to bring new fans to the original series.
