ThunderCats is game for the Nintendo DS developed by Aspect and published by Bandai Namco. It is based on the 2011 animated series of the same name, and was released in North America in October 2012 and Europe in November 2012.
Gameplay[]
ThunderCats is a 2D platformer where players control Lion-O, leader of the ThunderCats, who uses his Sword of Omens to defeat enemies. Players traverse the game's levels dispatching enemies and battling bosses, and are able to call upon other members of Lion-O's team to briefly assist him once unlocked: Panthro, Cheetara, Tygra, and WilyKit with WilyKat. Lion-O's abilities include a slide, double-jump, and downward stab attack, as well as the ability to fire a beam of light from the Eye of Thundera in his sword's hilt once his power gauge has been filled. Still images from the 2011 ThunderCats animated series accompany story interludes between levels.

Reception[]
The game received universally negative reviews from critics upon release, earning a 28 out of 100 average score from aggregate review website Metacritic. Critics routinely panned the title's overly-simplistic gameplay and sub-par graphics, with Nintendo Power calling it "an incredibly simple side-scrolling romp through boring levels populated by similar looking enemies". Philip J Reed of Nintendo Life remarked that it was "about as bad as a game can get while still remaining functional", lambasting its repetitive action and slow pacing.
