Reception[]
Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers received extremely negative reviews from several video game critics for mainly being a monotonous and boring beat-'em-up title with a lack of representation of the unique personalities and traits of each playable character. A reviewer for the Daily Mirror described it as a "glorified browser flash game," and wrote that "Real talent goes into making something this bland out of characters as interesting as these." PlayStation LifeStyle was another publication that wrote it had the feel of a cheaply-made flash game: "Quite frankly, this feels like a Flash or Unity game, that someone decided to greenlight as a full console release." Some reviewers also criticized the padding of the game's length due to the fact that the player has to replay certain stages just to get a hidden item. Jed Whitaker of Destructoid was one of these critics, and was especially harsh towards the treatment of Steven Universe material in the game; he disliked Steven's attack in the game being a bubble, whereas in the original Steven Universe, the bubble was only used for protection and not for attacking. He disliked one of the game's hidden items being a map to Beach City, which is where Steven already resides. He also disliked the boss in the levels based on Steven Universe being Frybo instead of other various recurring antagonists from the series.
