    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. From the very start I was pretty much hooked the humor suits me and the gameplay is great, don't expect this game to be easy though some levels are tough but not unfairly so.

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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Super gra i pierwsza dobra z kórlikami polecam gra ma małe minusy jak trochę za mało postaci.
    Największym plusem gry moim zdaniem jest nie spodziewana rozgrywka i fajne pomysły jak odbijanie od przeciwników efekty i modele postaci.

    Fun strategy game, can be challenging at times. Overall good game, even if there's a bit of "fluff" that could've been left out. Solid multiplayer as well.

    Ottimo lavoro a Ubisoft Milano per questo gioco! Lo consiglio a tutti i possessori di switch, uniche pecche: troppo meccanico e col tempo potrebbe stancare. Il resto è una bomba. Ha anche una grande difficoltà il che lo rende ancora più avvincente!

    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....).

    One Of The Most Underrated Games Ever. The Strategy Part Worked Very Good. The Puzzles Were Good, And I Hate Parts Of Games That Have Puzzles. The Plot Is Decent. The Jokes Were Actually Good Coming From A Kids Game. The Only Problem Of This Game Is That It’s Hard, But That’s Just A Small Problem. One Of My Favourite Switch Games.

    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.    … Expand

    Jamás pensé que funcionaría un videojuego de estrategia por turnos de Mario.
    Excelente mezcla entre el mundo de Mario y los Rabbids.
    Interesante árbol de habilidades para mejor a los personajes.
    Distintos personajes, cada uno con su perfil de juego.
    Interesante duración.

    Poca rejugabilidad.
    Podría haberse esforzado por acomplejar un poco el sistema de batalla.

    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]
