"“Transformers: Battlegrounds” is a brilliant and beautiful turn-based strategy game suitable for the whole family, especially those who are already Transformers fans. Even with its simple design, the developer has still put quite a lot of effort into making the animations and graphics run smoothly regardless of which Xbox console you’re playing on or its resolution. Game difficulty is very much on the easier end of the spectrum as the hardest setting would be the equivalent of normal or easy for more experienced players. “Transformers: Battlegrounds” will give gamers hours’ worth of fun thanks to its enormous amount of replay value in the form of solo and two-player mini-games such as capture the flag and elimination. I strongly recommend “Transformers: Battlegrounds” to anyone who is either a Transformers fan or who are looking for a challenging game for young kids."

Fight across varied settings from urban streets to alien landscapes using terrain to gain tactical edges. Charge Energon meters to trigger powerful Ultimate Abilities that turn the tide of battle. The game blends quick decision making with team based mechanics requiring coordination to outmaneuver enemies. The game offers multiple playstyles with single player campaigns co op teamwork and local multiplayer showdowns. It launched in late 2020 across consoles and PC with Stadia support adding accessibility.
