    Leave it to Nintendo for making a teamwork-based game into a Freemium* game. This CONSOLE game has microtransactions, waiting, a stamina bar, and really stale gameplay.

    Now let's compare it to a traditional mobile game: In this example, Clash of Clans.
    In CoC, you can pay money to get gems. That's microtransactions.
    You have to wait for your builds to be finished. That's waiting.
    You can't always attack other bases because of not having enough troops (waiting) and a stamina bar last I checked.
    And barely anything new happens.

    Super Kirby Clash follows almost this exact same formula. It feels more of a mobile game than something Nintendo likes to make for their hot new console.

    Now, I understand that this game is free and the developers need to make money out of it. But there are so many better ways to do it. For example, just make it cost money. It would be a whole lot better than having to deal with mobile game cliches.

    Or make it a side project and pull WAY back on the microtransactions. Both ways would function much better.

    And then there's the next problem. The lack of variety. There are 4 classes in Super Kirby Clash that the player can pick. Sword Hero is versatile, Hammer Lord deals a ton of damage, Doctor Healmore can, well, heal, and Beam Mage can stop time for the enemy.

    But that's it. it would have been a lot better if more abilities were added so you just don't have to pick 4 Beam Mages and spam Time Beam to win. Just programming one of every Copy Ability's attacks to be chargeable wouldn't be a big deal.

    TL;DR: Too much of a mobile game. Waiting, microtransactions, a stamina bar, stale.

    *Freemium is defined as a game, usually on mobile, that can be played to the end without ever spending any money. However, the game is usually full of waiting that can be skipped by paying money. As such, Freemium games are generally looked down upon.    … Expand

    Instead of getting a big Kirby game that people care about, we get another butt average spinoff with nostalgia shoved down our throat. My cousins used to love Kirby. Then Mario drove them away and they haven't touched a Kirby game since. That's because Mario actually has interesting and memorable games that don't recycle the same crap we've seen for years.

    Super Kirby Clash is basically a boss rush mode, with it’s difficult but entertaining boss fights to it’s terrible ways of playing with real life money. This game feels like it should’ve have been a mobile game, you can’t continue playing the game all day until u have enough apples which are the currency to continue playing basically. And that absolutely sucks for a Nintendo switch title,Super Kirby Clash is basically a boss rush mode, with it’s difficult but entertaining boss fights to it’s terrible ways of playing with real life money.

And that absolutely sucks for a Nintendo switch title, yes it’s free but still why release it in the Nintendo switch. The game on the other hand is fun with great customization and a bad leaving up system, however the game gets repetitive real fast. And it’s not like the online is good either, the gameplay and the bosses are basically the only good thing about this game everything else sucks. Super Kirby Clash should’ve not been in the Nintendo switch it’s not ab unplayable game it has good Elements but to reach to those elements you gotta pay real life money.

    Super Kirby Clash is a title that offers entertaining solo missions and the ability to customize our character without paying for the game and with the well-known gameplay of other titles in the series. However, the online mode is not positive at all.

    Super Kirby Clash is a fun game that makes fighting somewhat adorable. The battles with AI and local friends and fast and fun, although a little on the repetitive side. Online battles are too slow to be truly enjoyable but overall this is a free game that provides entertainment in short bursts as you level up your Kirby.

    Super Kirby Clash is a better product than Team Kirby Clash Deluxe.
