DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power
Publié le 3 juin 2021 sur Nintendo Switch, DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power est un jeu d'aventure et de type hack 'n' slash développé par Toybox Inc. et appci corporation, et édité par Nintendo. Il s'inspire de la série animée DC Super Hero Girls et invite le joueur à incarner Wonder Woman, Supergirl et Batgirl pour défendre Metropolis contre des super-vilains tels que Harley Quinn, Catwoman et Star Sapphire.
Chaque héroïne dispose de capacités distinctes pour affronter les ennemis : Wonder Woman utilise le Lasso of Truth et le Flying Shield, Supergirl mobilise la Heat Vision et le Super-Breath, et Batgirl conçoit des gadgets comme le Batarang et le Bat-Hook. Hors des phases de combat, le titre permet d'explorer librement la ville en tant qu'adolescentes, de fréquenter des lieux issus de la série comme le lycée Metropolis High School et le Sweet Justice, et de publier des photos sur Superstapost, tout en veillant à protéger son identité secrète et à concilier vie de super-héroïne et vie de lycéenne.
Sur le plan de l'accueil critique, la presse a salué la transposition de l'émission animée dans le jeu vidéo. Gaming Nexus a estimé que le titre traduit avec succès la série, tout en notant un côté peut-être un peu léger pour les adultes, et Screen Rant a jugé l'œuvre très solide pour un public jeune, bien construite et dotée d'un scénario agréable, sans ambition révolutionnaire. Du côté des joueurs, les avis partagés sur Metacritic incluent un commentaire qualifiant le jeu de blague et indiquant qu'il a mis son auteur en colère, ainsi qu'une intervention répliquant à un autre joueur nommé Mister_Miracle pour contester son avis négatif sur la représentation des personnages féminins, ce dernier étant jugé ridicule.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power successfully translates the beloved animated TV show into the video game space. While the game might feel a bit fluffy for adults, playing with kids is a blast. With reasonably well-done combat and a ton of side activities, Teen Power is a meatier (and more fun) experience than one might assume—an absolute win for a licensed game. »
« DC Super Hero Girls is a very solid kids game. Nothing is new or revolutionary, but the game feels incredibly well put together. The story is enjoyable, the voice acting is exceptional, and the world feels fleshed out. With so many recognizable heroes and villains in a high school setting, it's hard not to enjoy some time with this happy slice of the DC Universe. »
« As a whole, I found DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power extremely enjoyable. I’d argue it to be fun for anyone who picks it up as it’s definitely something I haven’t got around to putting down yet. If you’re looking for something bursting with personality and something to enjoy for hours, this is definitely a game for you. »
« DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power succeeds in not feeling like a simple cash-grab. Much like its source material, it has genuine heart, plenty of activities to take part in, and a cast of characters who are simply adorable. Some of its more social open-world gameplay may feel a touch slapdash, but its colourful and explosive action more than makes up for it by being a blast of addictive and easy-to-grasp fun. »
« Be a superhero girl and save Metropolis. DC Superhero Girls: Teen Power is a typical action adventure, which was surprisingly fun to play. Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl and her friends need to face a new threat: Robots and evil toys. The storyline is quite close to the original series on Netflix, same as the artstyle of the characters. The music of the the game is neither bad, nor good, quite average background music. The cutscenes in comparison are really lovely, all voiced over and with cute animations. The biggest surprise was, how different it feels to play each superhero or supervillain. Each character really has her own playstyle. Sadly we also have some critics: since mostly younger kids will play this game, why do we need an ingame social media called “Supersta”, where you need a certain amount of followers and likes to unluck some of the sidequests? The game would have had enough content without it. Instead they could have programmed a local multiplayer, so the parents could help on difficult missions, some of them are quite tricky. Especially the fly ability feels a bit clunky and hard to steer. Overall DC Superhero Girls: Teen Power can be recommended to all DC fans and fans of the Netflix series. If your kid wants to play it and your kid is still quite young, we recommend to play the game with him or her, since some missions are quite hard and it could be frustrating otherwise. »
« DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power could have easily been a disaster; a cheap cash-in with little or no merit. Thankfully, it’s actually a surprisingly comprehensive and satisfying experience that fans of the show will absolutely love. There are plenty of characters to interact with, an excellent shopping feature, and lots of fun little tasks to keep you occupied. Don’t get us wrong, the game knows its target audience and caters to that younger demographic, so older gamers may not gel with the overall tone and simplistic gameplay. However, kids who might not yet be ready for the ‘grimdark’ ("MARTHA!") DCEU, this might be the perfect alternative. »
« Impressively, this superhero action game isn’t just a cash-grab, shovelware release for kids. Batgirl, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and friends are charming representations of their cartoon and comic-book counterparts with heaps of flair. The slice of life elements are decent, with humorous stories and meaningful drama peppered throughout, but not without superficial parts. Exploring the handful of open-world levels invites plenty of picture-taking and collect-a-thon fun, even if the rewards aren’t much more than levelling up, shopping for lacking clothing options, and a poorly implemented city-building mechanic. On the other hand, combat is addictive with notable scalability and satisfying skills to decimate an array of pesky robots and possessed toys across varied missions. Altogether, DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power is a surprisingly entertaining action and social game for the whole family. »
« DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power attempts to do a lot. And there’s a lot of fun stuff there. Like I genuinely enjoyed playing dress-up. Some of the missions and boss fights are genuinely challenging. The general ambiance is also quite good and captures the style of the series perfectly. The only issue I have is that it gets a bit tedious at times. While the missions can have diverse objectives, they can lead to a lot of button mashing. Being limited to when you can use powers is a little frustrating too. Still, it is charming in its way. For a title made for a younger audience, it’s quite a quality affair and I appreciate that. It doesn’t talk down to anyone and tries to offer light versions of meatier gameplay elements. »

« I couldn't give this a negative score is this game a joke Cool:no Stylish:no Exciting:no Made me angry:yes Deserves game of the year:absolutely not Deserves to be shut down:yes Waste of money:of course »
« Mister_Miracle you’re review is a joke literally all you talked about is how you don’t like a woman to show off her body in a way that’s sexy because it makes you uncomfortable lol. I got news for you men will be attracted to a womens body until the end of time and women will be attracting men using there body as well just the way it is. Anyway if you like beat em ups and dc comics I would say give this one a try especially if you have kids. »
« The developers managed to make a decent game for the Nintendo Switch with the small license. The tasks and the storyline in DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power are really fun. The missions are nicely varied and the fights add a good mix to the game in places. The graphical performance and controls aren't the highlights, but they aren't bad and the sound is also successful. If you want to play with superheroines or let your little sister play, you should take a closer look at "DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power". »
« DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power is charming, but it has much more cons than pros, in general. The combat is extremely repetitive and lacks polish, the controls are clunky and the co-op gameplay is non-existent. Stick with the cartoon, it's probably a better idea. »
« This game has been getting a lot of unwarranted hate online. Just because it's not BOTW-level doesn't mean it's a bad game (and if you're not a 5-13-year-old girl you are probably not the target audience here). With so many games that dress female protagonists like swimsuit models (with even less realistic proportions), it sort of seems like nerd culture doesn't know how to process a game actually designed for girls (gasp!) based on a tv show for girls (gasp!) by the folks behind the recent My Little Pony tv series. For years my daughters have asked why the female characters in mainstream nerd culture (videogames, comics, certain animation) aren't wearing outside clothes. They love this game and the tv show it is based upon and I am so glad there are solid options out there beyond the typical eye candy for teen boys (and men that have not outgrown that phase). »
« This is easily the worst game of 2021 so far! I'd much rather play Balan Wonderworld than this boring lazy shameless cash grab! I get that it's meant for little kids, but even kids would get bored of playing it after 5 minutes! »
« Love this game summer vibe!! Loved playing it so much i really needed this for the summer!! »
