Battle Kid is available for purchase on Xbox Market place for Xbox One and a physical cartridge for the NES. Battle Kid is very similar to I Wanna Be the Guy, an indie freeware game for the PC, in terms of the design of the main character and the projectile weapon he possesses, the trial-and-error difficulty, and instant death mechanics of all enemies and hazards. However, the similarities end here as the actual gameplay and control is much more in the likeness of Mega Man games on the NES and the boss fights at the end of each major stage. The main character, Timmy, can only be hit once before the player is greeted with a 'game over' screen, but there are infinite continues and the player will start over from the last save point. There are also keys which unlock different areas of the fortress and enhancement cards which give the player a number of different abilities to overcome obstacles. Tina Byers, a scientist who works at Disch Corporation receives a transmission about a group of unknown origin taking base and building a Supermech, a kind of robot that has many weapon systems at Fortress Il' Akab, a fortress once inhabited by a wizard race who planted monsters and traps inside. Also fixed was a sound effect and the letters "D" and "V" of the game's font, which were sometimes confused with "O" and "U" respectively. New features have been covered, such as the following: new block types of ice, conveyors, and sludge; Wall Grip upgrade; the in-game death counter; and the intro stage.
