    i really hate the "free to play" microtransaction type of structure in video games. but at the same time, fighting bosses in Kirby games is always fun. and as i look at my switch profile, it seems i have put over 15 hours into this game. anyway, to get the most fun out of this game, you're gonna have to make that tree grow, but you could always do what i did: use gold points instead of real money

    It's a fun little Kirby free to play game with RPG aspects, multiplayer, grinding and level up system. Fun or what it is but can get repetitive.

    Despite having gorgeous graphics and nice music, Super Kirby Clash is as shallow as free to play games get. With repetitive, uninspired levels and almost zero depth you have pretty much experienced the entire game within the first 5 minutes. As a free to play game, its okay. Not something I would necessarily call ‘bad’ but not something I will play for more than 2 days either.

    Super Kirby Clash is the perfect case against microtransactions. True, the game never gets greedy, and you can enjoy all of it without paying a dime. But the "free to start" foundation ends up poisoning the game's flow, and making it more grindy that it needs to be.

    Super Kirby Clash could easily be a pleasant quick boss rush with a couple dozens of fun bosses and a decent online component, and leave before it overstays its welcome. Instead, it waters down the experience by forcing you to play the same bosses again and again, just to provide a frame that encourages you to pay for otherwise unnecessary shortcuts. The fights are fun enough, but they grow old quick when you have to go through them multiple times for reasons that have nothing to do with gameplay.

    All in all, Super Kirby Clash is a missed opportunity. I'd pay a few bucks for a condensed version of it–but as it is now, it's mostly a waste of gaming time that can be spent on more focused, less repetitive experiences.    … Expand

    Yes, there are micro-transactions. However, I’m about 3 hours into the game and haven’t had to spend any money yet, nor wait for a long period of time. Fun game, super repetitive though.

    If you are someone who has full understanding of the monster hunting genre and i have had experience (IE: monster hunter, god eater, dauntless, etc.) steer clear of this game, it will frustrate you. Now if your someone who has never played or heard of any monster hunteresque games then this might be something to kinda of introduce you to that genre. stats and armor making is as simplifiedIf you are someone who has full understanding of the monster hunting genre and i have had experience (IE: monster hunter, god eater, dauntless, etc.) steer clear of this game, it will frustrate you. Now if your someone who has never played or heard of any monster hunteresque games then this might be something to kinda of introduce you to that genre. stats and armor making is as simplified as it could possibly be, and there's online play(very spotty near end game fair warning) local wireless, and 4 player co op on one system which is great. four over arcing problems. only consist of monster from team kirby clash deluxe edition and the original team kirby clash bundled with planet robobot with maybe like 2 new bosses and subspecies, with the spotty online, unlike other monster hunting games where a player leaves the quest still go's on just that player isn't there anymore kirby clash disconnects all players and this also has the nintendo "rage quit" punishment system as in the more you disconnect the more you have to wait to play online again, for smash thats great for kirby clash that means if someone decides to rage quit or forced dc. not only did it cost you the quest but you could be possible banned for a bit till you can play again. third the valor system, this is here to do nothing but to restrict how much you play and force monetization( will get to that soon). i don't know why but they kept the valor system(which was part of Kirby deluxe and not the original mini-game i believe) which is basically like every mobile restriction bar. granted it instantly fills up and increases by 2 everytime you level up and it cost 2 apple gems to refill but in early game this is tolerable, end game this can be an annoying obstacle especially since higher lvl quest use more valor. finally the BIGGEST problem with super kirby clash is....Apple Gems aka the main currency for the game. I know some people talk about Mario kart tour being "Nintendo being greedy" and while that's a stretch for that game oh boy they should try this. when the player is introduced to apple gems it seems very tolerable and the choices seem easy to make. you are told you could pay for them but in early game it feels very easy to decide between whether you want armor, more levels, or cosmetic items. you get gem apples for completing quests and doing heroic missions (achievements essentially). they are also used to revive everyone if you all get killed or you run out of time so it will refill it. as well as refilling your empty valor bar. there is also a tree in central hub that a player every 12 hours can harvest 3 gem apples. here's the thing, near end game you have spend more above 80 gem apples for both pieces of one armor set for one class (as the demand for gem apples increases with rarity). end game quests cost like around 35 gem apples, and you'll probably run out of time on these quests as it depends on the level and armor set a person you join up with has. and you'll run out of valor more than you'll level up. and heroic missions start becoming nightmarish with missions like complete this level 45 quest with beginner gear and earn a platinum which is under 50 seconds. here's the thing with the tree in the hub though. while it give 3 it can be leveled up. how do you level it up you ask? buy buying bundles of apple gems using real life money. the more apple gems you buy the more your tree levels up. now the first bundle you'll see is 50 cents which doesn't look so bad but its the last couple bundles you should look at first . the max pack for this game is $35 dollars they get 5000 gem apples instantly and 2000 per 12 hour harvest. meaning if someone paid $35 during the end game grind or as soon as the first time they load up the game ever. they don't have to worry about this troubling grind at all as they just got past it with that transaction. honestly nintendo makes it really hard to avoid the microtransaction in this game. its so tempting heck even i ended up falling for it and fell for it(used my gold points though so i guess they came in good for something). in the end this isn't what i would say an excellent game to start the MH genre with but its really fun with friends and most fights are fun i'll give them that. but even Nintendo who seems to be one of the few companies doing DLC right these days. really did ended up making a f2p game that iss pretty much like a modern day f2p if you ever played. in the end i still have fun with this Kirby game but its super disappointing especially since they did nothing really "new" after the previous "2" installments this spin off serious had. i recommend this as a game to play with friends or for short burst, but not to learn the MH genre or to MH fanatics either.… Expand

    Sicuramente un gioco che non pagherei, ma giocato in maniera gratuita fa passare il tempo, in particolare per le partite online. La principale pecca è che potrebbe essere benissimo un giochino per cellulare, più che per console.

    It is a pretty decent game even though you have to pay but it does do things things like graphics look so good,most armor,weapons and bosses designs well and balanced and is simple to start.The only bad thing i hate is that you have a vigor bar that you have to buy in game book with gem apples to fill it up faster or your be waiting 8 mintets for one vigor per 8 mintes before it full butIt is a pretty decent game even though you have to pay but it does do things things like graphics look so good,most armor,weapons and bosses designs well and balanced and is simple to start.The only bad thing i hate is that you have a vigor bar that you have to buy in game book with gem apples to fill it up faster or your be waiting 8 mintets for one vigor per 8 mintes before it full but other than that,its good and better than raid shadow ledgends.… Expand

    It's probably a case of this game just not being for me but I found this game to be painfully average. Gameplay is fine but it's not enjoyable or challenging enough for me to stay invested. Single player mode didn't feel fun to play and it's obvious that it's better experienced with friends.

    A free to play simplistic button masher. Not my type of game, but my 6 year old niece enjoyed playing it with my wife and I. This game’s not going to win awards, but it’s something free, accessible and fun for kids new to video games if you have to do some baby sitting and the games you own are too difficult for them.

    I downloaded the game for free, and that is a plus point. I had fun playing it multiplayer

    A free to play Kirby game is something that is definitely worth at least trying if you're broke.

    A fun little game, great for co-op!

    Very limited content and nothing to spend hours in one go with, but a must have due to it's price being for free.

    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.
