    great game, has a lot of unique mechanics from other SRPGs. and for a mario game, it gets surprisingly difficult, can't wait for the sequel

    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.

    Great and cheap (wich is pretty rare) Mario game. Highly recommended.    … Expand

    It may be the best game I've played in my life. It was a game that attracted me with its mechanics, storytelling, activities and additional content.

Gran cantidad de contenido, tanto en variedad de combates como en recolección de coleccionables. La historia es el estilo habitual en la franquicia Mario, pero esta muy bien conseguida la unión entre ambos mundos. Como punto flojo, alguno de los últimos personajes que desbloqueas quedan un poco desaprovechados por haber avanzado ya gran parte de los combates y desafíos. Muy recomendado para amantes del género y de Mario.… Expand

    Algo que caracteriza la franquicia de Mario son sus increíbles spin off,pero es la primera vez que aplica para algo tan particular como los Tactics Rpgs.Ya lo vimos en otros titulos similares como lo 2 primeros titulos de la saga Paper y tambien en los Mario & Luigi,y en esta ocacion haciendo un cross over con los simpaticos Rabbids de Ubisoft.Que podria salir mal??

    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.    … Expand

    Honestly an absolutely fantastic game. Full price+DLC is a bit steep, but I'd still say it's worth it and with a discount it's an absolute must play for anyone who likes turn based strategy.

    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

    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....).

    It's a very good game. You have to prepare for a very slow and boring start. But after some time, the battles get more diverse and interesting. As you continue, you get more stuff, and the gameplay and maps get complexer, so you'll have to think more than in an average Nintendo game.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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]
