    Furthermore the rounds are short enough that you quickly get the "just one more round" feeling.

    The tracks and battle arenas offers visual variety, so even if you get a track in the new round, which you have had before, the track will then look different. The cake, which is one of them for example can be a chocolate, mint or strawberry cake.

    Then you have plenty of opportunities to costumize your own Kirby. The presentation is charming and cute. The start menu is interactive and give you a first impression of the controls. The attention to detail is very high like in Kirby and the forgotten land.

    The only issue is that the online mode has sometimes terrible slowdowns.

    The game itself is its prize definitely worth and offers you more content than Mario Strikers Battle League Football did.    … Expand

    The gameplay is both simple and very fun, and the graphic is amazing. It makes me hungry.
    But there aren’t much content here. I wish some stages will be added via free updates.

    Nothing groundbreaking, but it's just simple Kirby fun, and for only $15 I'd say it's worth it

    An excellent kirby game for the price of just 15$. You can really easily get addicted to it. Definitely recommend playing.

    favoloso, veloce, delizioso, e superdivertente, adoro la grafica e il sonoro e la giocabilità e coinvolgente, peccato per un pó di lag nell'online e per la mancanza dei 60fps, se no sarebbe stato un 10!

    Remember the Wii U era, where we got eshop games like Dr. Luigi? We have none of those on the switch. So, in a surprise tweet, this little game got revealed to us. Does it live up to previous eshop games? Let’s find out.

So, in a surprise tweet, this little game got revealed to us. Does it live up to previous eshop games? Let’s find out.

    There are 3 games you play in a match of Dream Buffet. A race, minigame, and battle Royale. You could be in fourth place in round 3 ( There are two races; one in round one and one in 3) and still get first place from the battle royale. In Mario Kart, you could be leagues behind in 11th, and by then, you’ve given up. In Dream Buffet, even once the final game is over you can win due to prizes. It makes the game fun for the whole grand prix. One criticism I have is that it’s only 2 player even though it’s marketed as a party game. But the splitscreen is cramped as it is, and I think that you wouldn’t really be able to see much then. 9/10. The gameplay is great!

    The only complaint I have with it’s presentation is it makes me hungry. It looks very good (and appetizing!). The soundtrack is stellar, with a ton of remixes that sound very good. Listen to Love, Love, Alivel! 10/10 presentation.

    It has the main Grand Prix, but other then that, what does it have? Well, there are 256 unlockables used to customize your Kirby. I think of it more like a Battle Pass! There is a free-roaming mode where you can test out everything, but other then that, there’s not a ton of content. It cost $15 so I’m not concerned. 10/10. If it was $60, I’d be livid! But it didn’t cost much, so I’ll give it a pass. Plus, you can replay it like Mario party-it’s random.

    This game could seem underwhelming, but it’s only $15, so any Kirby fan should get this. And even if you aren’t a Kirby fan you should still get this because it is a great introduction to this series. What if Mario Strikers Battle League cost $15?    … Expand

    It’s literally Fall Guys but with Kirby and desserts, which by proxy makes it a better game. So much fun.

    The Metascore to this game is only a 63!??! I don't know what Metacritic is smoking but they couldn't be any more wrong about this game.

    This game is only 15$ and it's just outstanding. Unlockables from just playing the game!?!? No live service garbage?!?!? ACTUAL CONTENT!??! In 2022!?!? Am I dreaming?!?!

    I WANT MORE OF THIS.

    Tristemente, el juego tuvo un desarrollo muy corto y si se hubiera creado más cosas dentro de él podría haber sido competencia directa de Mario Party, ya que la poca variedad de minijuegos hace que poco a poco se vuelva muy monótono y lo dejes de jugar.

    Lo que menos me gustó fue que en el modo offline solo pueden jugar 2 personas, destruyendo la dinámica de un videojuego "Party" si quieres jugar con 4 personas, te obligan a pagar por el Online.

    En general es un buen título con un precio muy asequible y si tienes amigos que lo van a comprar, entonces te lo recomiendo mucho. Sin embargo, sé consciente de que el juego se vuelve monótono tras muchas partidas.

    I suggested to these developers that they should make a Kirby PvP multiplayer mode, and they actually listened. That's what I like to see, when developers listen to my suggestions. $15 is an amazing price and it's very fun.

    I love Kirby's cute adorable face, and seeing him knock the over players off to win is always great fun. I recommend this game to all

    Kirby’s a Dream Buffet realizzato da Hal Studios è un titolo sperimentale ispirato da due giochi in particolari, Super Monkey Ball e Fall Guys, ed è adatto sia per grandi e piccini dove i giocatori mangiano a sazietà e lo scopo del gioco e mangiare fino a ingrassare tantissimo e dimostrare di essere i migliori.

    Si può giocare sia offline con amici e parenti fino in quattro oppure online per essere i migliori.
    Come funziona?

    I controlli non sono quelli classici della serie ma dovete rotolare in un mondo immaginario, dove sogna Kirby dove troverete diversi percorsi dal gusto dolce oppure salato, immaginate dagli hamburger, torte, e molti altri cibi, dove il giocatore ha il compito di mangiare nel lungo tragitto fragole e tanto altro.

    Per diventare sempre più grassi, che acquisire molta velocità nelle rotazioni e potete rompere qualsiasi muro e così via, e per arrivare primi al traguardo insieme agli altri tre personaggi che sono intrepretati dalla CPU oppure giocatori veri e propri.

    Analisi di Kirby's a Dream Buffet 1

    Queste sono le sue Modalità di gioco:

    Grand Prix Gourment = un Buffet da sogno che include due Gare, minigiochi e un Battle Royal e potete ottenere varie ricompense come Personaggi da decorare nelle torte.
    Corsa Singola = Dove tu puoi competere in una gara singola per arrivare primo al traguardo e sbafarsi uno dei tre monti di fragole
    Mini Gioco Singolo = Dove ci sono le varie Gare da fare chi mangia di più vince.
    Battle Royal Singola = Tutti contro tutti, in un percorso dove potete sfruttare le vostre abilità e mangiare tutto spiano vince chi ha mangiato di più.
    Allenamento = Dove potete provare tutti percorsi e le abilità
    Personalizzazioni Avatar e Torte
    Mini storia di Kirby sui vari giochi usciti
    Colonna Sonora da potere ascoltare

    Il Gameplay

    KIRBY A DREAM Buffet

    Come ho già accennato prima Kirby può solo rotolare e saltare e usare le varie abilità che trovate nel corso del tragitto che sono temporanee come scopo dovete mangiare fino a fare rompere la bilancia, il sistema di controllo e molto semplice usando solo tasto Analogico Sinistro e pulsanti come A, B, X, Y per saltare e ZR per usare le abilità, ci sono le varie discipline come mangiare più veloci nelle tazze buttare fuori gli avversari e mangiare di più e completare i vari percorsi.

    Potete impostare la CPU con diversi livelli di difficoltà:

    Dolce (Facile)
    Normale
    Piccante (Difficile)
    Super Piccante (Ultra Difficile)

    Purtroppo, il tasto dolente è che non trovate una CPU agguerrita perché capendo come si comporta già potete vincere senza problemi.

    Il percorso cambia ogni volta quando entrate in partita per avere una varietà enorme, e alla fine del percorso ci sono le varie sfide tipo mangiare un’intera torta in pochi secondi, battle royal, e così via, non può dire la quantità dei percorsi perché cambia ogni volta quando entrate in partita, il livello delle CPU può essere più basso o alta dipende se cercate sfide o meno.
    Consiglio per chi vuole godersi l’esperienza al pieno:

    Per godersi al pieno l’esperienza di gioco è consigliabile giocare o in coppia oppure in quattro per avere un’esperienza di condivisione oppure in rete per avere un divertimento totale in tutto il mondo.

    Si può giocare anche in locale, con Quattro giocatori, oppure quattro Switch Separate che ognuno ha il suo schermo, o in internet con le password per fare le partite private.
    Longevità

    Kirby’s Dream Buffett, quanto dura ebbene ragazzi e un party game, che offre tante ore di contenuti che permettono di accumulare punti per il ranking e potrai, sbloccare tantissimi skin dei personaggi extra, colori, torte da potere decorare e percorsi aggiuntivi che permettono di variare un po’ nel gameplay.

    Analisi di Kirby's a Dream Buffet 2

    C’è anche il comparto online che permette di fare delle sfide con quattro giocatori in tutto il mondo.
    Il lato tecnico è artistico e la colonna sonora Il lato Artistico è molto ben fatto gli ambienti sono molto colorati e invogliano al giocatore sempre di mangiare di più sono ricchi di dettagli sia i dolci e anche personaggi che sono molto ben fatti e tutto fatto in regola d’arte anche le animazioni sono molto fluide anche la fisica cioè un gioco che sfrutta al pieno la console Nintendo. La Colonna sonora e molto bella e ritmatici e potresti ascoltare anche le canzoni delle varie versioni di Kirby in modo che i fan possono ascoltare liberamente. La Parte Online Purtroppo, la parte online, e un po’ il tasto dolente durante la mia prova non ha potuto provarla a pieno a causa delle disconnessioni e certe volte quando non trovava, il giocatore non funzionava il tasto d’uscita quindi per uscire dovete usare il tasto HOME. Però vedendo gli altri giocatori che si può godersi tranquillamente una bella esperienza da condividere con altri giocatori ricordo che richiede Nintendo Switch ONLINE.    … Expand

    There could be more content. For fans of action party games there is nothing to complain about. Considering how universally lovable Kirby is, this game is perfect fun in multiplayer, especially online. [Issue#326]

    The relatively short nature of the races within Kirby's Dream Buffet, the way everyone, even those who come last, gain points in a race, and the ease to join in multiplayer online or team up with friends makes this latest Kirby game a real treat to play on Nintendo Switch. The variety of race themes, costumes, and Kirby colours provide good reasons to replay it, and the solo adventure is as fun as teaming up with friends or random players. There is almost no downside, only disappointment when losing but on the easiest mode it is possible to win with very little experience.

    A cute little party game which, unfortunately, just doesn’t reach the same heights as many of its competitors. There’s not much content, the fun doesn’t last for long, and the number of players is severely restricted. This is certainly not a pastime for the whole evening but could entertain you in short stretches.
