    Absolutely in the pantheon with XCOM and Fire Emblem. I cannot believe that Ubisoft would take Rabbids and Mario and make an XCOM game, and it would be glorious.

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

    It's so good to see other studios doing something with the Mario name. This is a new refreshing take on the genre and a fun challenging game! There are more and more reasons each day for gamers to get a Nintendo Switch!

    Gameplay is easy and also the graphics are amazing! Hard at times to complete because of how much you have to focus strategically on how to complete the level. Overall great game collaboration!

Although I have never been much of a turn based strategy person, the controls are fluid and the game never gets boring!!! In fact, I find myself looking forward to each new battle as I explore each world that is filled with secrets and puzzles to unlock. As I was playing I was reminded of my feelings when playing other Nintendo games of the past that tried something different using Mario and his friends like: Mario RPG, Mario and Luigi, Paper Mario etc....If you are a fan of Nintendo, heck if you like to have a blast and be entertained in your gaming, you need to pick up this little gem ASAP!… Expand

    Excellent game. This is without a doubt one of the best turn based strategy game every created. And it came from ubi, contains mario and rabbids - who would've guess it could be so good? Of course it has its flaws like backtracking but hell it still deserves perfect score :) I was hesitating to buy this because i didn't believe this will really work - so if youre unsure just give it a shot!

    O jogo é sensacional! Mario + Rabbids bebeu da fonte do XCOM e ainda assim conseguiu inovar, mesclando com maestria o ponto forte que é a batalha tática, puzzles, rabbids (minions?!) e o mundo do bigodudo. Minha única critica é que só podem ser usados três personagens na batalha, mas de longe diminui a magnitude deste incrível jogo. Nota 10! parabéns aos desenvolvedores e a Ubisoft.

    Here is how I broke it down -

    Graphics - 9.5 - Bright colorful, and very detailed environments
    Story - 9 - The story so far so good -
    Gameplay - 10 - So many things to offer but SIMPLE. The variety of ways you can attack is wonderful
    Sound 9.5 - The music is great here with simple melodies, Wait till you get to ACT 3! Its the best!
    Overall 9.5 - if you are fan of Mario and like strategy type of game this is the BEST! I think Disgaea 5 is a good turn base but environment, story, music, and game play put this as the one of the best Tactics/Strategy games ever!

    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.

    While I ordered the game as soon as it was revealed, I wasn't so hyped until a couple of days ago. That day, I watched an Eurogamer (Spain) video talking about it. Then I started to get more and more hype, and I wasn't upset at all.

That day, I watched an Eurogamer (Spain) video talking about it. Then I started to get more and more hype, and I wasn't upset at all.

    When I got the game, I opened the box and I was so happy because I saw a color paper in the slot above the cartridge. At first, I thought it was a user manual, but I realized they were just promotional content (one about the figurines, other about DLC). "At least, they included something" - I think now.

    When I arrived at home, I tried to redeem the DLC code (it came with the box in GAME), but I got an error. Then I read the ticket and I saw it must be redeemed in the Ubisoft website for an actual eShop code (pretty useless, though).

    So let's go to the main topic. I installed my DLC, I installed the day-one patch and I booted the game. I saw a couple of "long" load screens (with long referring to 10 secs each one) and then a cutscene played. It showed a room full of Nintendo stuff. Then a misterious person (I think it was a teen girl because of the voice and the few parts of the body I could see) appears and uses a misterious headset to fusion two things. When they leave the room, a washing machine appears with a ton of rabbids inside, and they start messing up all the stuff, so they mix some with stuff around the room, resulting in a Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Luigi, Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Yoshi. Another cutscene is played where they are teleported to the new Mushroom Kingdom along with the real Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi.

    Then starts the actual gameplay. The player has three characters to control, and the first ones are Mario, Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Luigi. Mario can't be changed for other character. The game itself starts being easy, but its learning curve is great so far. Features such as the skill tree or the differences between characters/weapons are presented later on; such as the ability to combat freely or to get secondary weapons.

    The game's graphics are amazing, meaning that they're so beautiful and with some common points with Super Mario 3D World. It means that they're intended to be a way of art and not a way to show how powerful is the system the game is playing on.

    Music is great too, at the level of every Mario game. Rabbids' noises are not annoying at all.

    The Story is well done and the objective is clear since the beginning.

    Resuming: the game itself is not childish at all. Graphics might seem too colorful and such, but the game has an interesting story and is way more difficult than people tend to believe. It has cooperative combats too, which are very fun; that means the game is perfect both for single player (the main mode) and multiplayer, very rare in this genre. Controls are very good, so it doesn't feel like playing a PC-oriented game of this genre with a standard XInput controller.    … Expand

I have yet complete the co-op part fully, but it is a whole other way of playing this game. "Two minds" each with 2 characters makes this game a real and sometimes challenging fun.

    I think this is the most Switch-spirit game so far. I love how the flow of the game works flawlessly between docked, undocked, on the sofa, in the underground, on the bed; creating a positive buzz as you feel you're more clever than some twisted rabbids. Strange and powerful at the same time.

    A fun version, casual, pretty and dynamic of X-Com. The combos are great, the progression in the game is nice and the tactical part is well done. The best bonuses are to do damages with free action while moving, and also the secondary effects applied on the characters (bounce, honey...). A must-have on Switch.

    The characters and abilities are great, and even though I thought I would absolutely hate the Rabbids, they're really charming in this game and the ones on your team have some valuable skills. Strangely enough, Mario's cast of characters fit in well with the cartoon weapons and their abilities really suit them.

    Oh, and everything looks amazing. The art style is lovely and some of the decor move with the catchy music.

    Este juego es de lo MEJÓR que tiene la switch, es muy divertido, la musica es muy buena, los jefes igual, sus mundos, lo unico malo que puedo encontrarle al juego es que tiene algunos bugs pequeños, fuera de eso me parece un juego perfecto

    Un excellent jeu par contre a ttention malgré son design "enfantin" à la nintendo, il s'agit d'un tactical RPG trés exigent et assez dur , trés proche d'un x-com mais avec pas mal de simplification dans les actions possibles.

    This is probally one of the best games to buy for the Switch this year. First thing is that this type of game is not for everyone. I understand that, but if you enjoy games like Xcom/Fire Emblem/Final Fantasy Tactics. You will really like this game.

First thing is that this type of game is not for everyone. I understand that, but if you enjoy games like Xcom/Fire Emblem/Final Fantasy Tactics. You will really like this game. So, this game starts off as your a female that you dont really get to see but you see her room and it is a room I think I would of had as a child. Its just full of video game goodness and love and passion. Then the rabbids come in and you would think oh man these guys are going to be annoying and they are not at all. They bring tons of humor to this game and there are tons of nostalgic feeling throught this whole game with them in it. The game play its self is VERY challenging despite the cross over and the graphics looks like it will appeal to a child you will be very mistaken by how the the game plays. Its also not BAD challenging it actually makes you want to keep playing and learning. The mechanics are spot on and the environment is amazing not only is the levels hard but the exploration is hard at times with letting your explore but introduces puzzles in order for you to progress. I really need to express how amazing the soundtrack is and how bizarre and catchy it is. Also the music reacts to the game environments which just make it even better. The only negative I can say is I wish there was more in the explorations parts and more interactions with characters in the world of mario. When you see SPMRPG there are new characters and new people to talk to. I wish it had more like that. Instead its just a flushed out Mario World with theird characters and the rabbids just are there to have fun. I give this game a solid 9/10 and I really recommend it to anyone that has a switch.… Expand

    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]
