    An unconventional combination of two worlds and genres, which is funny, reasonably difficult and especially offers a great playability. For the Nintendo Switch owners, it is a must-have, everyone will enjoy this game. [Issue#278]

    More than an attempt to cash in on the Super Mario Bros. and Raving Rabbids franchises, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is one of the most creative turn-based tactical games in years.

    Nintendo’s Switch has had a steady flow of amazing titles since its March 2017 release, and having Ubisoft buddy up to create a game like this is another feather in the console’s cap. It has all the graphical charm of a Mario platformer, an amazing soundtrack by an industry legend, the backing of two big studios, and the rarest thing of all: hilarious Rabbids. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is simply no joke.

    Ubisoft managed to turn a complex genre into a Mario-friendly experience that never insults the intelligence of its players.

    We can’t say that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle has no other issues besides graphics: some people won’t like weird scenery of the Mushroom Kingdom, others will be annoyed by somewhat blunt humor. But there’s no doubt about the bottom line: Switch owners got a good brand-new tactic game. [Issue#223, p.68]

    Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is not perfect, but most its problems can be ignored because they are relegated to portions of the game you can skip or speed through. The core experience of the game, the battles, are inventive and fun. Though it is still a strategy game, and therefore a niche experience that appeals to a specific type of player, its carefree tone, bright colors, and fast pace make it feel inviting. There’s plenty of nuance to find in Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, so long as you’re willing indulge its playful side.

    This rollercoaster ride of a turn-based strategy game starts out almost impossibly strong, but by the end I mostly wished it'd been over three hours earlier.

Excellent graphics, story, gameplay and music which will keep you engaged for hours. Ubisoft even released an update which adds multiplayer to the game giving you the chance of fighting with your friends. Although I am not a tactical RPG gamer, I cannot describe how much I enjoyed this game. Highly recommended even if you don't play tactical RPG games. You will definately love this one.… Expand

    I would give this game a 9.5 if I could. The beauty of the exploration phases are great, I love the way the worlds look and feel. TheI would give this game a 9.5 if I could. The beauty of the exploration phases are great, I love the way the worlds look and feel. The soundtrack for this game is top notch. It is fun, and nostalgic. The gameplay is something I have never done before, it feels fresh and exciting. The combat and strategy elements blow my mind, when you get a combo and criticals going there is nothing like it! The Rabbids aren't too annoying which is saying a lot. My last point is this: I underestimated how challenging this game is, make sure you don't do the same. The bosses are tough, and their A.I. is very smart. I had a gameover in the first world, and throughout that world there was a handful of battles where not all my party made it.… Expand

    The blend of the Mario series' charm and the random humour from Rabbids amplifies the best aspects of both, contributing to a colourful and fun world, that, coupled with addictive turn-based gameplay, makes for a truly great experience. The quirky and unique characters, in terms of both personality and ability in-game, along with exciting boss fights, challenges, and funny moments woven throughout keep Mario and Rabbids varied and interesting. I had a lot of fun with it, and it hits all the right notes on both gameplay and tone.

    This is a great strategy game that helped get me into the genre and is a must buy for fans of this type of game!    … Expand

    Un juego del que nadie esperaba nada pero que está hecho con un mimo propio de Nintendo. Dificultad ajustada y gameplay muy interesante.Un juego del que nadie esperaba nada pero que está hecho con un mimo propio de Nintendo. Dificultad ajustada y gameplay muy interesante. Batallas cortas, de unos 20 minutos, pero que enganchan. El juego en sí un XCOM, combate por turnos, que bebe también del Fire Emblem. Estrategia en estado puro, pero con una frescura envidiable. Al principio parece muy fácil, pero poco a poco va haciéndose más complejo. Hay DLCs que aumentan su longevidad pero se echa de menos más contenido. Como punto negativo, no hay incentivo alguno para usar otros personajes más allá de los que vienen al principio.… Expand
