    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Испортили самое главное, что есть в Кирби – Геймплей. Крайне навязчивые компьютерные игроки бегут впереди и делают всё за тебя. Взрослых это бесит, ребенка ничему не учит!
    Продолжаем играть в Кирби на 3ДС.
    Надо сделать, что бы компьютерные помощники полностью отключались, а пока невозможно играть.    … Expand

    Not my favorite kirby game but it is fun. while it is VERY easy and a bit slow at times its a blast with friends and family. the extra content that was added is also alot of fun and adds alot of variety. i dont really have much to say about this game as its fun but everything you see if kinda what you get. however the fan service in this game cannot be praised enough

    OH BOY! its Kirby time for a review! (I didn't made a Kirby review but im a huge Fan of the series, im just a bigger fan for the Mother series...WE ARENT TALKING ABOUT EARTHBOUND!)

    welp, Kirby star allies is a blast, I think this is more like a commemorative game, there are 3 new abilities, and they bring back some classics fro Kirby Super Star (Like the Yo-Yo, they brought back Yo-Yo...KIRBY BECAME NESS >:( ) is fella fun when you play with your friends, the puzzles aren't sooooo mind blowing, nah. in this game, Kirby got a new power, the friend heart, if you throw at an enemy, he will become your friend. Also, you can use your friend abilities to combine with yours! its Like in Kirby 64 and Squeak squad. Anyways, the only things I don't like in the game is the level design and the puzzles, the level design is...lame, I mean, not that I hate it, I just don't feel like this would be like a Kirby Planet Robobot Level for example, and the puzzles are too easy.
    So the first thing you gotta do when you start the game, is turn off the tips, cause they will tell you exactly what you need to do in the puzzles, and since the puzzles are easy, the tips are kinda useless .

    SO...I GIVE KIRBY STAR ALLIES A...9,4 out of 10

    The game is awesome, its like a class of Kirby History, telling all the enemies, characters, and this graphics...we never saw a Kirby game in full HD! the composers (3 composers) made a magnificent sound track...if your a Kirby Fan that played games like Super Star, Robobot, Triple Deluxe and return to dream land, you will love this game.    … Expand

    Kirby Star Allies is a very fun game. The controls are simple, the graphics are great, and there are a vast wealth of things to do on the game including being different characters which are also enemies. I also like the different combimation attacks with different characters.

    If I have to choose one blemish it is the issue of difficulty which is way too easy. Overall still a great game.

    Kirby Star Allies is truly a stunning Game with it's wonderful graphics and story. In the other hand it is really easy, but for a kid's game thats just fine.

    El juego es muy corto y muy fácil, sí me lo pasé en un día, pero es precioso gráficamente y extremadamente divertido, lo recomiendo.

    It's somewhat boring. Less funny than The Amazing Mirror and Nightmare in Dream Land.

    Beautiful. I love this game, even if it is really short. The 3 dlc are good and there is a lot of fan service.

    Kirby Star Allies follows the lineage of his older brothers. A colorful universe, an OST worthy of the saga, a visually resulting Artistic direction, DLC en masse. Despite a new mechanism "the hearts" too falculative, this opus switch gives me lots of stars in my eyes.

    Kirby Star Allies is a really fun Kirby game, but it does have some questionable design choices. Gameplay-wise, this game feels great. The co-op mode is a blast and Kirby's accessibility is always a plus. Kirby plays as he usually does. If you consume your enemies, you can gain their powers. Kirby can float by mashing the jump button which can make some areas pretty cheesable. Kirby's newKirby Star Allies is a really fun Kirby game, but it does have some questionable design choices.

Kirby can float by mashing the jump button which can make some areas pretty cheesable. Kirby's new gimmick is that he can toss a friend heart to convert his foes into his very own paisanos. You can only have 4 friends at once though. Friends can turn into your converted enemies to join in the chaos. One major complaint I have is that there are no difficulty options in the main campaign, making this game stale to those who want a challenge or frustrating for those somehow having a rough time.

    This game has a load of personality. It's incredibly charming and cute to see little details such as friends dancing with you after a well-deserved victory. The music is amazing and there are loads of peppy bangers to get your day started.

    Perhaps the biggest problem about this game is that it just sorta feels like a downgrade to its successors on the DS. I'm not massive about fps, but DS Kirby games running at 60 fps and Star Allies running at 30 fps feels like a big downgrade. The pricing point of this game is also pretty ridiculous. 60 bucks for a game that'll only last you a few hours is laughable. Indie games that are 15 bucks have lasted me over hundreds of hours.

    In conclusion, Kirby Star Allies is a great game for casual gamers and fans, but I'd recommend waiting for a price drop. Having a lovely day/night, folks!    … Expand

    Kirby Star Allies is fun. Kirby Star Allies is adorable. Kirby Star Allies is easy. At least in the base game. The game runs at 30fps which is fine, but the problem is that the menu’s run at 60fps. The game also looks really nice. Overall, a solid game, but not the game I was hoping for on the switch.

    THIS IS THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME. The levels are perfectly designed, the bosses are incredible, the gameplay and combat is unrealistically good, and the replay ability is endless. Just buy it. Now.

    El mejor juego de Kirby visualmente hablando, sus niveles son un poco faciles pero entretenido. Un juego rejugable sin duda

    To make it clear, my rating is based on the full updated Version of the game.

    The story mode on it's own would be only a 6/10 and can easy be summarized as an basic short Kirby Game.

    So in the end this Game transformed into a solid game for all who like Kirby or be fans of the franchise. In my case I like the opportunity to form a team of allies with characters like Magolor, Gooey or Suzi from the previous games. I like the new challenging mode, with his tricky and clever puzzles.

    I like the things you can unlock, because it feels like a tribute to Kirby and the franchise itself.

    The only problem is, that this game lacks of originality. It comes not even close to "Kirby Planet Robobot" or "Kirby and the forgotten Land". Which are easily the best two games in the series for me. Nevertheless it was a fun and enjoyable experience that I don't want a miss.

    This game has evolved pretty well over the time.    … Expand

    Though it’s not technically perfect by any means, Star Allies remains entertaining from start to finish. Let the puffball meet the misfits, it’s time for Kirby to shine on Switch.

    Kirby Star Allies makes the simplicity of smiling a lasting thing. The game is beautiful and has music that impresses by it's quality. The title is very amusing and if you can join three more friends, you will have one of the funniest experiences on the Nintendo Switch. It is an experience that should be appreciated in its entirety.
