    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!

    I cannot stand Strategy, Turn-Based, Tactic, games. I have tried many many times to get into them... Disgaea failed... XCOM failed... Even FF:Tactics failed, and finally I have found one I enjoy, M+R is stupid, colorful and fun.

    I got this game as a gift, grandma knew I like Mario and she thoughts it was Odissey. It was not Odissey, I told her, this is not the game I wanted. I started to play because I was bored, two days ago. I didn't stop until I finished every single challenge. I still can't believe a Nintendo game was developed by Ubisoft. It isn't Odissey, it's different, welcome back Nintendo Difference!

    My only criticism of the game would be that you should be able to move your characters as far as they can move in a turn if you decide to only move a fraction of what they can. Only allowing one move per turn is ridiculous when I would otherwise have been allowed to move further.

    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.

    The easiest way for me to describe how I feel about this game is that I am simply in love with it.

    When I first saw this, I could NEVER imagine this game would work - or that I would be slightly interested in it. But after a couple of hours in, I can say that it's another fine example of a game that, alone, would justify a purchase of a Switch (along side with Zelda, Mario Kart etc).

Everything about this game is almost perfect: colorful graphics, fun characters, weird engaging story, perfect tactical gameplay, right amount of fun and challenge.

    The game plays much like X-COM. You have to battle on a grid, making use of cover, higher ground, skills in order to beat the opponents. And don't be fooled by the cute package. This is NOT an easy game, by any means. Beneath the hood, Mario + Rabbids is a solid, SOLID, tactical, turn-based game that will offer lots and lots of hours of amusement.

    This is a must buy for any Switch owner out there.    … Expand

    This game was surprisingly fun. As one who has enjoyed XCOM this is very close to it. Not sure however about replay value. Also the ending leaves too many questions. There is also when it sometimes freezes for a moment which was only bad when it made me get stuck in the floor. But overall this was great to play.

However, this doesn't mean it's not challenging. Some battles and boss encounters can require quite clever solutions and some tries, but it's never unfair or too hard. Also, it's fun to explore the 4 worlds searching for hidden chests and other collectibles.

    The only significant flaw i would consider is that some puzzles can get a bit repetitive (too much block pushing...) and mostly are not over creative, but it's not annoying to the point to screw up the experience.

It’s a stepping stone to bring Nintendo closer to it’s third party developers. The gameplay is simple yet intricate. Having the focus on movement rather than percentage shooting really helps make it accessible to more people that typically wouldn’t play a game like it. Performing a long attack with multiple dashes and a team jump and finishing it off with a critical hit is super rewarding. To top it off the game looks great and pairs perfectly with the soundtrack that rivals even the best Mario games. The pacing of the game does need some work, it slows down at world 3 which is the weakest level. However the boss fights are amazing. The world 3 final boss is fantastic and worth the price of the game alone. The customization is also great and gives you a easy to use skill tree with plenty of weapons. I do feel like some characters are far better than others. For example Rabbid Peach is vital to have in your party if you want the best odds. Also characters like Peach and Rabbid Mario have shotguns that can do good damage but you can’t have them near other party members or you're guaranteed to do team damage. The puzzles in between levels are fairly easy so it would be nice to have more of a challenge but that's just a nitpick. The game also froze up at times for no real reason. The story isn’t bad either and has a fun light hearted tone that works well with Mario and the Rabbids. It provides a far more in depth look into the Mario Kingdom than any other game before. Overall Mario+Rabbids is one of the best games of the year and a must have for the Nintendo Switch.… Expand

    Let me start by saying that I have never been a fan of tactical shooters. I played all of 15 minutes of XCOM before uninstalling it.

It starts out very basic and let's you get a sense of how to move and shoot in combat. Then, as you begin to unlock character abilities, the depth grows, and the difficulty increases at a near perfect pace.

    The Mario and Rabbids mashup is just so charming. I love both of these IPs and to see them brought together in such a nostalgic and thoughtful way is wonderful. Another element that I want to touch on is the fact that my girlfriend is enjoying the game every bit as much as I am. We're sort of in a competition to see who can finish first. We've had it since Tuesday, it is now Saturday, and we both have nearly 30 hours in. I want to stress how uncommon it is for mainstream video games to truly cater to both a male and female audience. Nintendo does this better and with more titles than any of its competitors, and that's important to me, because it shouldn't just be us guys that are catered to through this beautiful, immersive art form that is gaming.

    For those that are finding the game difficult in later levels. I can tell you that if you fail a fight, take the time to really analyze how it played out and adjust your team accordingly, you'll be just fine. Look for those synergies that exist between different characters. Look at how the enemies group themselves and move. Rabbid Yoshi and Rabbid Mario's ability to force opponents to move, for example, works tremendously with Mario and Luigi's "Shoot on movement" abilities. I'm on level 3-8 now, and I've definitely lost a couple of fights, and restarted quite a few more to make adjustments, but i've never once felt like I didn't know what to do to overcome one of the fights once I had seen it and really thought through the combat.

    The only reason I didn't give this game a 10/10 is because in the free-roam areas, movement can be a little wonky maneuvering around blocks and such. This becomes a bit frustrating when doing timed puzzles. But, it's far from game-breaking. I have never needed more than a few tries to get through any of the puzzles. Also, there are some "nice to haves" that aren't there. Like being able to see: if I move to this space, where will my weapon be able to reach" before you move.

    Overall, this game is so well done. And, there absolutely is variety in enemy types, map setups, and strategies. Sometimes they'll throw an easy fight at you just to introduce a new type of enemy before you face them grouped with other types in a tougher fight.

    I can't recommend this game enough to anyone who owns a Switch. Like I said, I was never a fan of tactical shooters, but not only do I love this game, I feel like it helped me to better understand the mechanics of a tactical shooter. Once I finish it, I might just go install XCOM again and give it another go. Who knows, i might just end up loving it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm sure this crazy crossover was not one most people would've seen coming back when the Switch was announced, but wow, was it ever great. To see the face of video games crossover with these goofy Rabbids was something else and that something else, was fantastic.

    Let's get right to it; Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a strategy rpg game centering around the heroic Mario, his brother Luigi, the fair Princess Peach and the loyal Yoshi. Along for the ride, four goofy Rabbids dressed as the four heroes. The story mainly centers around the heroes traveling across a strange, mashed up version of the Mushroom Kingdom with typical Rabbid antics going on around them, all in an attempt to return the Mushroom Kingdom to it's former, Rabbid-free state. Along the way, Bowser Jr, acts as their main antagonist, causing problems at every turn. It's not exactly an unfamiliar plot, but it isn't exactly the everyday plot either, not when the captive princess is traded in for a slightly unstable, super merging Rabbid.

    Gameplay wise, each character has the same styled techniques; a primary and secondary weapon and two secondary skills. Everyone can dash into enemies for additional damage as well and use each other for team jumps to cover wider ground. What makes each character unique is their own twists on said abilities. Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Luigi have additional effects to their dash attacks, Mario can jump on enemies' heads during a team jump and Yoshi can ground pound to send a shock wave at nearby enemies. The team is incredibly diverse and has a lot of options for attack. At first, it can seem complicated, but once you start exploring and learning their abilities, it becomes much easier.

    Once your in battle, that's when the strategy comes in. Stages usually consist of uneven ground, many blocks to act as shields and pipes to travel from one side of the map to the other. Enemies have their own unique skills that are very similar to the ones the heroes have. As the game progresses, the enemies gain more HP and stronger attacks, as one expects in progressive difficulty. However, it is that level of progressive difficulty that my only problem with the game has. The game only allows you to have a team of three and the limits are specific; Mario must always be on the team and the team must have at least one Rabbid. While the last two specifics are nothing to really bother about, it's the three man limit that can see problems. When the game throws large numbers of strong enemies, a team of three can get overwhelmed pretty fast. Numerous times have I lost levels because the enemies defeated me incredibly fast. Considering you get 8 playable characters, a team of four midway in the game would've seemed appropriate, but that wasn't the case. The amount of time between character recruits is occasionally long, with the last character being recruited midway into the final world. It's a bit of a bummer, but the three man team at all times proves to be my biggest problem.

    Overall, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is an amazing game, but I'd only recommend it to people looking for a challenge, not a casual joyride. With many collectables, solid gameplay and hilarious moments, this game is definitely a Switch title worth getting, granted it doesn't get lost in an expanding library as time goes on.    … Expand

It has a good and simple story with funny moments between Mario and his friends and epic fights between your team and powerful enemies.

    Mario + Rabbids is a tactical-rpg adventure where the 30% is exploration and the 70% left are battles. The combat system is fresh and for me it was never boring. Every battle was a challenge and you needed to think wisely what to do in every situation. If you are afraid of the difficulty you shouldn't worry anymore, there is an option where at the start of every battle you can use an Easy mode where the enemies are weaker and your team gains more health points.

    Discovering the collectibles is fun and I have to repeat myself, the MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL.

    I was super surprised at how good this game ended up being. I feel like its simplification of the XCOM formula was a super good decision - I was never lamenting the times that I missed a 90% shot, and instead I had a lot more precise information to work with and thus planning out each turn felt a lot better.

    Un juego sorprendentemente muy muy buen juego. Historia desenfada que combina extrañamente bien los rabbits y el universo Mario. Un sistema de mejora entretenido, suficientes personajes y equipo para elegir múltiples estrategias al gusto de cada uno, y un sistema de combate excesivamente divertido.
    La única pega del juego es que se queda corto, y que el modo multijugador podría ser mejor.

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

    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]
