The first Kirby game released for the Switch is a 2D side-scrolling platformer. The selling points? One is the ability to play with up to three additional players in co-op mode, turning Kirby into quite the party game. But the most unique aspect of Star Allies is right there in the title: the ability to charm and then team up with your enemies (who are then controlled either by your fellow players or the AI), with those alliances leading to additional powers.
