Coming to the rest of the features:

Story Mode

The PC version of the game also includes the full story mode, with an epic storyline written and voice directed by writer/director Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Shattered Grid, Nightwing, Batman: Gates of Gotham). The mode also features original artwork by Eisner Award-winning illustrator Dan Mora (Go Go Power Rangers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Klaus). In this new mode, players experience a re-imagining of the critically acclaimed Shattered Grid event from Boom! Studios’ Power Rangers comic book series. When Lord Drakkon, an evil alternate version of Tommy Oliver, sets off a massive campaign across time and space to destroy all Power Rangers, they must band together and fight back, before all of existence falls to his armies.

Voiceovers by Original Cast

The game’s story and combat voiceovers are performed by original Power Rangers cast members, including Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver), Austin St. John (Jason Lee Scott), David J. Fielding (Zordon), Kerrigan Mahan (Goldar) and Meghan “Strawburry17” Camarena (Kimberly).

Direct Match

Friends or any two specific players can match up directly to compete against each other.

Crossplay & Cross-Progression

Players on PC can battle against players on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One in Ranked, Casual or Direct Matches. Crossplay helps players find matches faster against similarly skilled players and opens up a larger matchmaking pool, making the game more competitive. The game also offers cross-progression among PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, so players can carry progress made on one platform to another. Crossplay and cross-progression are enabled by nWayPlay, which offers a player ID and social system, allowing friends to find each other across platforms.

You can learn more about nWay from their official website.
