    I played through the whole game when it launched on August 2017 and it was a brand new and unique experience for me. This is a good crossover that I would have never thought of but it works. I haven't played the game since March 2018 and I am replaying it again and it is still fun. Solid purchase for any switch user.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fun + tactics + sounds + jokes + Switch = Mario + Rabbids.

    It's a unique game, Nintendo and Ubisoft really did it this time. They took two worlds and a genre that seems to disappear and did a break table!

    The game is very demanding, specially if you want to passed it without use the "easy mode". The durability is not long but is beacuase the difficulty that it entails to win with perfect score all the battle and challenges.

    One thing that I need to remark is its music (special mention the BSO of world 4) and graphics (special mention to world 3). It is so great! I thought I was in a Ilumination´s Mario Movie!

    Go and play it. If you are not in the genre does not matter! Mario+Rabbids is more than that!

    Mario + Rabbids is a very pleasant surprise. Not only it's a great game featuring classic Nintendo characters–it's possibly the best Mario game I ever played, with the possible exception of Mario Odissey.

    Mario + Rabbids is a very pleasant surprise. Not only it's a great game featuring classic Nintendo characters–it's possibly the best Mario game I ever played, with the possible exception of Mario Odissey.

    It may be me, but I'm not a huge fan of the Disney-like, "heroic" stiffness of Nintendo's heroes. Pulling Rabbids into their world injects a bit of joyful sloppiness and chaos into that squeaky clean (and sometimes slightly creepy) mushroom kingdom. It's like seeing Mickey Mouse's house overrun by the Simpsons–not only it works, it gives you some sort of guilty pleasure.

    This game pulls off that hazardous mashup with expertise, and the result is sometimes hilarious. If you like the rabbids' animated antics, you'll find that Mario + Rabbids contains some of the funniest cutscenes in recent memory. The game also has plenty of content, and tight playability that's addictive in the best sense of the word. Its turn-based nature is a perfect fit for the Switch's pick-up/drop-down nature. And last but not least, it has extremely high production values. I usually prefer indie games over those stuffy AAA productions–but just like Nintendo does, Ubisoft proved that it knew how to build something good with all that money.

    The only weak point of this game is its difficulty, that's quite uneven. The game starts at an almost perfect level of challenge, but it seems to become easier in the last two worlds–except for the final two battles, that suddenly feel unfairly hard. That being said, the spike in challenge is not as bad as it feels at first. I went from being upset by the apparently impossible challenge to beating the game in the space of a few tries, and landing that final blow on the ultimate boss was extremely satisfying.

    I didn't enjoy the game so much that I feel the need to unlock all its overabundant secrets, but that's only because there are other great games to play–including Mario + Rabbids' DLC. If you have any kind of interest into turn-based tactical games, and you don't actively hate rabbids, this is a game worth playing.

    The union of the world of Mario with that of the Rabbids, hilarious bunnies and at the same time with an "evil" mind, is absolutely brilliant. It offers a fast and intuitive game-play, but at the same time it manages to put the player in difficulty with different strategy and combat techniques. The story is really fun, especially thanks to the Rabbids.

    A weird crossover that works just fine: fun, quite simple, challenging sometimes. Turn-based tactical games tends to be boring and technical most of the time, here it stays under the right limit of complexity.

    Maybe I just don't like X-COM. This game was a bit of fun (the humor), a lot of boring (normal fights), and some frustrating (hard fights). It also didn't feel like they did a very good job of introducing you to all the various game mechanics. I got through the first major area (fought the first major boss). I doubt I'll pick it up again, and I don't think I got my money's worth out of it.

I never felt too excited when opening a chest but thats a small gripe as the game is still loads of fun. Would love to see a sequel to this in the future Expand

    First game Ubisoft has made where the heroes aren't reprehensible scumbags since Ezio Auditore. Very funny and charming, but the lack of camera control when traversing the world is really annoying.

    This game shows how ubisoft IS indeed capable of making a good game. There are a few flaws, however.

    - You are forced to use Mario. While I don't mind because I think mario is fantastic in this game (others don't like using him) it does hinder the team variety.

    - The game gets SOMEWHAT repetitive. Otherwise, a near must-buy for the switch

However, the game punishes you IMMENSELY if you don't play well, as you don't get highly limited skill orbs for the skill tree, sometimes making progress nearly impossible. Don;'t treat this game like your average Mario platformer or even the RPG spin-off. This game will kick you in the balls time and time again, and is defiantly not for younger players or even adults. However, the game was obviously meant for children as there is a ton of bathroom humor, rude jokes, and the abundance of the proto-minions known as the Rabbids, annoying rabbits who are infuriating both to watch and ESPECIALLY to listen too. However, the Rabbid's insanity factor has been heavily toned down from the previous rabbids game, Rabbid Party U and it's tie-in TV show Rabbids Invasion. Overall, I'll are this a crazy frog X-Com mod skin. It's annoying , obnoxious, and is irrelevant and a dead meme paired with a nearly impossible game for only the most hardcore of strategy fans.

    Definitely one of the best strategy games ever created. The whole tone and manner is lighter than other games on the same genre, which is pretty refreshing and fun (I don't know why this genre always brings up serious theme to it), but don't be fooled by all the cuteness as the level design is pretty challenging.

Но так как нету возможности поставить оценку в жанре и есть только одна общая оценка для всех жанров, то только 8, но это не значит, что игра слабая - наоборот игра отличная, просто есть ещё Witcher 3, Max Payne 2, Half-Life 2, The Last of Us, которые круче! В связи с чем не понимаю, как люди ставят 10, ведь это необъективно...
    Про систему оценивания высказался, теперь по существу. Игра очень комплексная и целостная - чувствуется, что в игру вложили много сил и сделали с душой. Графика красивая и очень стильная - совместили стиль Mario и стиль Rabbits. Такие игры идеальны для Switch, ведь здесь графика является законченным произведением и консоль её тянет, а если бы делали не рисованную, а с закосом на реализм, то начали бы цепляться к качеству текстур и искать мыло, а тут всё выглядит идеально в рамках стиля и даже на топовом пк игра выглядела бы также!
    Геймплей просто супер - игра не надоедает, потому что тактические бои чередуются с решением головоломок, потом немножко сюжета, собирание коллектиблсов и всё опять по кругу. Тактические бои одновременно и простые и заставляют напрячь мозг, вникнуть в настройку снаряжения и выбор команды, если хочется все бои пройти на 100%. Возможностей в бою много и много новых механик для жанра, которых нету в аналогах.
    Если же не хочется париться, то можно включить детский режим и просто насладиться лёгкой расслабляющей красивой и весёлой игрушкой. С юмором всё отлично, кстати!
    Головоломки не сложные, но увлекательные и иногда приходится извилины напрячь. Уровни с поиском предметов и решением головоломок сделаны очень изобретательно, как это принято в серии Mario.
    Из минусов выделю только резко увеличившуюся сложность на ровном месте, когда начались снежные карты - лучше бы постепенно поднимали, чтобы комфортнее было.
    Я наиграл 20 часов и даже половины не прошёл ещё, судя по найденным коллекционным предметам - я всё комплитил на 100% и перепроходил бои по два раза. Думаю, что часов за 50 потихоньку осилю, а я ведь ещё не брал сезонник!
    В общем, игра стоит своих денег - это не стыдный эксклюзив, который иметь в коллекции рекомендую всем обладателям приставки! Купил за 2200 на картридже и денег нисколько не жалко!

    This is probably the most addictive game on Switch, which is saying a lot. It can be challenging to decide which toons you want to use, but the game gives you a hint by dropping equipment for only specific characters per level. Which in itself is fun.

No paré de jugarlo hasta completar todas las Ultra Challenges.

    Sin llegar a querer ser un juego como Fire Emblem o FF Tactics, Mario Rabbids es un juego táctico que requiere estrategia a la vez que te divierte con las situaciones chuscas como conejos corriendo con la colita en llamas o Bill Bala en calzoncillos. De verdad disfruté muchísimo este juego.

    Gets old VERY VERY fast, unbelievably aggravating at some points and the rewards aren't very "rewarding" whatsoever. By halfway through I was just done with this crap. Oh yes, also it crashed several times for me, not sure if others have had this problem but some battles can be 20+ minutes long and very difficult and for it to crash halfway through is unbelievably frustrating.

    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

You move your characters somewhere safe to fire your gun. In this game, there is cover. Large blocks completely protect your character from enemy fire. Half blocks have a fifty percent chance of protecting you from enemy fire. There is a shop in this game, where you can get new weapons and abilities. Abilities can be upgraded with power orbs, which'll make your character more elastic or make them more powerful. There are 8 characters in the game, all with different specialties. Pick wisely and you'll get through the game more easily. This game has a decently meaty main campaign, but there's a heck ton of replayability and post-game content that it completely justifies the pricing point. The music and writing in this game are both stellar. The humorous dialogue and clever gags really made me laugh out loud a lot of times. The music in this game is very catchy. You can clearly tell that there were loads of great composers in the making of the game. Graphically, this game looks awesome. Everything is decked out with details. Just taking a walk around the map brings some amazing vibes. If this game has one problem, it's that the game is a bit laggy at times. Plus, there should be some difficulty options in the main campaign. I'd love to replay the game once again with a bit more spice.

Hay que utilizar bien las coberturas para que los enemigos no te alcancen o, si te alcanzan, recibir el menor daño posible.

    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.

    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.
