    Le jeu est vraiment bien par rapport à ce que disent certaines critiques, le gameplay est bien et l'histoire est plus sympa que je ne l'aurais pensé.

    I bought this on a whim not really knowing what to expect it just looked funny to me and the trailers made me laugh so I figured what the hell.

Its incredibly rare a game makes me want to take the time to unlock everything but this game does exactly that my only criticism is that the Gold Edition of the game does not come with the Donkey Kong expansion on the cart but the base game is so good even this isn't enough to deduct points for. Incredible game for anyone that enjoys strategy type games with a light hearted theme. Thoroughly recommended must own game. Expand

    Una experiencia divertida y sencilla, la campaña principal no es muy complicada, pero sus niveles extra pueden suponer un gran reto. Por 20 euros (precio por el que lo suelo ver) es un chollo.

    Great game and it can be quite difficult. The length is also pretty good. I played about 20 hours until I completed the story. I expected less of it. With this game I really liked turn based strategy. That was for the first time that I experienced that. I also started liking the Rabbids. Especially Rabbid Luigi.

    Oddly one of the best title on the Nintendo Switch. Great and satisfying gameplay, awesome music, cool story. I was sure I was going to hate the rabbids but I surprisingly ended up finding them hilarious. The only downside of the game would be how you control Beep-O instead of Mario, I never got used to it and it really was a liability when trying to solve puzzles.

    Una gran propuesta que aporta frescura y un carisma al universo de Mario. El juego sabe sacar provecho de la consola, aportando un modo de combate solido y entretenido que te mantendrá enganchado por un buen tiempo, gracias a su historia y DLC que cumple como expansión.

    The game took me by surprise, it’s a great mix of RPG and turn-based strategy, with a cute little story mixed in. Everything seemed extremely well polished and tested. Nintendos take on XCOM. Most battles allowed for a range of strategies that so you could customise your play style

    Most battles allowed for a range of strategies that so you could customise your play style and team.

    The battles were challenging with new and interesting enemies being introduced as you progress through the game.

    The world exploration between levels was a great way to progress in a not-so-linear format and presented puzzles and challenges along the way dispersed with little tidbits of extra story.

    Love this game.

    Graphics are amazing especially on OLED
    Artstyle and music is great
    Gameplay (combat) is a mixed bag. On one hand, it's a simplified strategy game with its own charm and unique touch. On the other hand battles (especially in the second half of the game) get unnecessarily hard, have annoying enemies (with high RNG crits), or straight up boring (escort missions....). Gameplay (exploration)

    Graphics and animations: nice characters and worlds, colorful, happy, full of details, charismatic characters, very good animations and battle effects, good menus.
    Sound: a bit boring, very repetitive melodies in battles, and not very memorable, but the voices and phrases of the characters are the best of the best, listen to Yoshi, Mario, the Rabbits, etc. it's a delight, too bad there was no menu to remove the music and leave only voices and effects.
    Target audience: "Turn-based strategy" game but with more freedom of action and mobility, very friendly, easy and sometimes difficult difficulty, that's why it's suitable for both lovers of the genre and beginners, its fun lies in crazy battles, puzzles and charismatic and fun characters from the Mushroom Kingdom.

    Pero no, nos salieron con ésto, un RPG desinspirado y aburrido, el cooperativo lo desbloqueas al terminar el juego (que se supone ES LA GRACIA DEL JUEGO), y para colmo, es de Ubisoft (bugs y más bugs).

    Qué triste que las buenas empresas tengan que morir y cederle el puesto a otras tan MEDIOCRES como lo son Ubisoft y Nintendo.

    Strategy is one of my favorite genres so I was excited when I first heard about the game. Turned out to be a slight turn off. It can be fun at times but it's too easy, short and souless. If the sequel improves the depth of the game by maintaining the natural and easygoing fun that comes with Mario and Rabbids games, it could be a good game.

    Pues nada,se logro un simple pero excenlente juego con una difcultad moderada para que fans como ajenos al sistema o personajes lo pueda disfrutar, con un premisa bastante divertida de como los 2 mundos llegan a chocar. Buen diseño de niveles que van desde acabar con todos lo enemigos o simplemente llegar a un punto pero con el camino repleto de enemigos. Una buena paleta de personajes con una interesante personalización y nivelación de habilidades para que puedas afrontar los niveles como mas te guste, tal vez se queda corto en la cantidad de personajes que se pueden desplegar que son 3,4 no hubiera estado mal. No soy alguien que disfrute del humor exagerado o a veces semi verde que muestran los Rabbids pero si que me sacaron un par de risas con personajes muy carismáticos como Rabbid Peach o Rabbid kong como enemigo.
    Un juega de mas difrutable y que despues de su muy buen recibimiento estamos a nada de su secuela, Spark of Hope, pero promete profundizar muchísimo mas todos los aspectos (historia,mecanica,personajes,enemigos,etc) que hicieron tan divertido esta entrega y se gano el cariño ( incluido yo ) de un gran publico.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a nice round based strategy game with nice worlds, many weapons, abilities and fun characters.
    that could sound like a 10/10 BUT: You can't switch team leader, it's Mario all the time. Of course, it's Mario game, but later in game Mario gets useless, because of his short range and his abilities are not very useful in boss fights. Another point is, that you need to have a rabbid in your team, that's kind of annoying, because the perfect Team would be: Peach, Luigi and Yoshi, but you need Mario and at least one rabbid in your team... The rest of it is near to perfect except for a camera bug, which isn't very rare to happen, but yeah the fights and puzzles are amazing.

    TEN times more fun than I thought it would be! Utterly brilliant! I sold my switch but would consider buying another switch in the future, if another Rabbids game came out. Maybe switch a 2. Love it!

    Thankfyll some rabbid forms join your team as you set out to save peaches kingdom from this rabbid invasion..
    The game is super linear, which I appericate.. deal with the occasional simple puzzles either for extras such as new weapons, or music tracks, go from battle to battle, collecting coins along the way to buy new weapons, rinse repeat, unlock newcharcters to throw into your team of 3..
    and I actually really loved thisgame for the first few hours, here your team takes tearsn moving across the board, you can suffly between your 3 heroes, sliding into enemies, using your teammates to jump ontop of enemies or in a better position to do more damage, it really becomes a clever juggle once things get deep and youre done learning the basics, coming up with a strategy to use different charcters in different ways, Mario being a great allrounder,rabbid luigi, the 2 peaches healing, regular luigi beng a great sniper, rabbid Mario being an amazing tank.. and then theres the yoshis.. lets just ignore that theyre here. But I had ablast changing my teams up, chosing which weapon to give them with different effect for my specific play style or strgateg, all while dealing with new enemy type as the game goes on.. stopping it fro mgetting too repetitive, that being said.. this game is still super repetitive, 15 hours is way too long to being doing the same thing over and over, go into this area and either clean house or get to a targeted area to escape, I felt mind numbing after a while..8 -10 hours would would’ve been so much better here… its not like it felt like a new challenge each time, a lot of battles just felt like busy work to pad out the game.. which brings me to multie tier boss battles… these battlss are few and far between, but boy is it annoying to cleaer a wave, lose the final wave and have to redo the wave you just did… I wanted to bang my head againt the wall each times.. ive proven I can beat this wave, why are you making me do it again just to get back to where I was, where I lost…when the game allows you to refill your health each wave with no penalty anyway.. theres is no logical sense in that.. another annoyance I have with this game are the battles where rabbids can keep spawning out of the grown, tem spawning out of the ground isn’t the problem, the problem is them coming out of the ground doesn’t count as a turn, they get to come out, attack first.. potentially kill one of your team mates, and ruin a great run you were having…it just doesn’t feel fair that if I still have moves left, I know a spawn is cming, I cant pre attack before they come out of the ground, this definitely should count as a turn..
    Mario + rabbds kingdom battle is a great simple, yet complex puzzle to solve.. it had its moments of annoying me, but It definitely has me excited for its sequel next year.. I cant wait to see what changes have been made to make this game even better..
    I give Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

I think the issue with the game is the fatigue associated with the length of the game, you unlock more characters will do have unique traits, you unlock more weapons which match the enemy levels, but the strategy largely remains the same from start to finish. No leveling up, no experience, no skill trees that actually add complexity, it just feels like you’re doing the same thing against new enemy types. I also did not like the long orientation phase of the game, the first 25% felt to be so easy that it was almost getting boring. With those complaints aside, it’s actually a fun and pretty challenging game once you get far enough. It has a lot of personality and character. A crossover that nobody asked for, but I will definitely pick up the sequel on release to give them an opportunity it’s to build on it. Expand

A crossover between the Mario and Rabbids franchises, with gameplay reminiscent of X-Com and similar tactical games, this game features the Rabbids ending up in the Mario universe after one of them steals a scientist’s visor device that allows them to mix things together into horrible/funny amalgamations. A hole is ripped in reality in the process of all this happening, and it is up to Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, and four fanboy Rabbids dressed up as each of them to set things right.

    Mechanically, the game is an interesting fusion, taking mechanics from the Mario verse and applying them to X-Com like tactical combat (though without the frustrating attack chance system that game features).

    Each turn, a character can attack, use a special ability, and move.

    The characters all have various toy-like guns, ranging from shotguns to weapons that look like Mega Man’s M-Buster to sniper rifles and gatling guns. The core gameplay revolves around cover-based combat, as you have only a 50% chance of being stuck behind a low wall and are completely immune to fire from the other side of “tall” cover. Most of it can be broken by shooting at it with weapons as well, but that will prevent you from dealing damage.

    On top of this, there are various “special” weapons with a one turn cooldown - each character has one standard weapon plus one special weapon, specific to that character – which vary from hammers to rocket launchers to grenades to little toy cars that drive over and explode. These all have an area of effect, and many of them can ignore cover as well, at least under the right circumstances.

    All of these weapons – both primary and secondary – also have some secondary status ailment type effect that triggers about half the time, be it bouncing enemies away, covering them in ink so that they can’t attack, freezing them and shutting down their special abilities, sticking them in place with honey, or sucking away their life with vampirism attacks.

    On top of this, each character has two special abilities that they can use once a turn in addition to moving and attacking, though these all have cooldowns. These include “overwatch” like abilities for the Mario characters, which allow them to attack enemies when they move – which can even be mixed with the weapon abilities that push enemy units to deal extra damage on your turn! All of the rabbid characters instead have shielding abilities that protect them from harm, which synergizes well with their tendency to rush in and do a bunch of dash attacks.

    In addition to these “standard” abilities (which themselves vary from character to character – some can attack multiple times, others have an AoE overwatch attack, while the shields protect against various different things at different levels of efficacy), the characters all have various unique abilities – the Mario characters have area of effect buffs that improve your units in some way for a turn, while the rabbids have things like an area of effect heal or which pull or push enemies around or debuff them.

    It is the movement system is where the game’s Mario influence is most mechanically obvious.

    The battlefields are laid out in a 2-D isometric grid, with a few different levels to them – higher areas allow characters to deal more damage to those in lower areas. They have blocks (both stone ones that can be broken by attacks and metal ones that are impervious to damage) as well as pipes, that allow characters to move around between areas and move a short distance after emerging, allowing characters to move between levels of the battlefield as well as rapidly move around the battlefield and between platforms.

    In addition to standard movement, if you move a character so that they end their movement in the same square as an ally, they will jump up into the air, allowing you to position your units in more distant locations which you can’t directly run to. All of the Mario characters have some special ability linked to jumping – Mario can bounce off of the head of an enemy, allowing him to hop again, while Luigi can be propelled off of the heads of two allies. Peach’s jump causes her to heal those near where she lands, while Yoshi will do a ground pound, damaging both friend and foe.

    On top of this, there’s also a “slide” attack, where a character who moves through an enemy’s square will slide into them, damaging them. The Mario characters all have basic slides which allow them to damage a single character each turn, while their Rabbid counterparts all have special ones and can slide into multiple enemies in the same turn.

    All of this comes together into a game that is surprisingly dynamic, and yet has very simple mechanics.

    This is where the difficulty balancing issues destroyed my enjoyment of the game. The difficulty ramps up greatly, which is bad enough. Worse, there is little strategy and a lot of luck in the battles. Enemy units suddenly appear and get a turn before you can react to them. This is incredibly poor game design. I would rate the second half of the game as 0 out of 10 but overall give the game a 5.

It's like, nah, let's just make it take a long time by giving them their life back a couple times. But still, the real game here is very good.

    But I'm giving it a 6/10 because of the awful 3D map and puzzle they added on top of an excellent game. It all looks nice, but it's tedious and pointless and is only there to make the campaign take longer. I haaaaaaaaaaate every second of that stuff. I would love to smack whoever made the decision to do that, one full power stink palm slap to the face for ruining the hard work of all those people with a bad direction choice.

    The people that gave this a 10/10 shouldn't take part in this website because they aren't critical thinkers and must give 10/10 to everything because it has huge flaws. Maybe play the game for a while before writing a review.

    This game is a really sweet experience, its a colorfull RPG with a lot of charism and good dialogues, worth your money.

    This game totally surprised me...
    I am not a big fan of turned based games, but seeing characters move around to cover and a slightly goofy spin peaked my interest.
    I gave it a go, and played a few maps. After awhile I was slowly getting hooked in without realising. Then all of a sudden it hits me, "I am dedicating waaaay too much on rabbids". You know why? Because this is a thinking

    Don't let the rabbids discourage you. They are sprinked in to keep it light hearted not moronic nonsense. It is more like 3/4 Mario if that give a rough idea.
    The music is world class and probably the 3rd best OST I've played on Switch so far.
    Difficulty curve is steady and fair. I enjoyed the skill tree and item upgrades to add depth to the gameplay. Choosing the right characters in later stages is important and gets you really planning your battles, choose wisely.
    The game is a good lenth, anylonger it would of been tedious. The game was good enough that I actually bought the DLC and had a great time with that also, shame you can't choose a team on the DLC.
    Some issues I had:
    I feel the game is a little buggy at times,especially when on an action shot angle
    The AI seem kinda predicable
    When backtracking to collect prizes the fast travel points did not match the campaign battle arenas and can be disorientating to know where you were at times

    This game definitely isn’t engaging enough to just sit down and beat. I mean it took Nintendo releasing nothing for me to get back into and beat it 3 years later but for a crossover of Rapids and Mario as a strategy RPG, it’s really good. It’s Mario and Rapids so there’s no character development which is disappointing, but the bosses are great, the combat is great. The music is incredibleThis game definitely isn’t engaging enough to just sit down and beat.

The music is incredible serious whoever composed the Phantom boss needs a medal that’s the stuff. But again, there really isn’t character development and there really isn’t story, it’s just fun to play a bit like Tetris or something. As an RPG in kinda fails in that regard. Still really good tho Expand

    I can't believe a Rabbids game has become one of my favourites on the Nintendo Switch, but it somehow has. The game is very charming, from the graphics, to the story, to the humour. The gameplay is very fun and strategic, and was surprisingly challenging in some areas. The enemies and bosses were mostly unique and interesting, as were the playable characters.

    I have some criticisms -

    I have some criticisms - mainly that the story could've been better, and it's just annoying to be forced to always have Mario on your team - but they don't detract from the game enough to reduce the score lower than an 8. Overall, the game was a lot of fun, and quite lengthy too. I'd recommend!

    One of the Best rpg’s I have ever played. But I wish there were more weapon types. I hope there will be a online multiplayer Mode in the sequel.

    Overall, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle brings a welcome shot of vitality to the turn-based strategy genre thanks to interesting team mechanics and a colorful Nintendo theme that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Taking one of the biggest IPs in the world and marrying it to an all new type of gameplay was a huge risk that paid off wonderfully, and I’m glad that it finally found its way to my Switch. Now, bring me a sequel with a couple of needed improvements and 100% fewer rabbids, and we’re in business…

    Mario + Rabbids is an incredibly welcome surprise. I assumed that a game starring Rabbids would become grating long before completion, but my fears turned out to be unsubstantiated. Beep-0 is a great lead character, and the Rabbids' hijinks are dialed back to a level that works. This is a fun take on a tactical RPG; the simplification of hit percentages worked especially well. The game isn't without fault — greater variety in characters and levels along with more meaningful customization would be welcome — but most of the issues are minor in comparison to how much fun the game is to play. Hopefully Mario + Rabbids marks the beginning of a new series and a sequel will take these ideas further.

    Ubisoft acquired Nintendo’s license, added some Rabbids in the mix and entrusted the game to its Italian studio that never developed any large game on its own. What’s more, neither the studio nor both IPs had anything to do with tactical games. I still don’t understand how Kingdom Battle turned out so good. [11/2017, p.46]
