    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.

    Who would had thought that Mario would ever hold a gun and shoot down deformed rabbits in an official Nintendo title.
    Pros
    *The difficulty    Who would had thought that Mario would ever hold a gun and shoot down deformed rabbits in an official Nintendo title.
    Pros
    *The difficulty level is excellent. The game requires you to make careful movements. Once you make a move it is locked in, kind of like a chess format.
    *The game does not hold your hand. This was one aspect I was afraid of since lots of modern Mario games are too simple and seem to walk you through the whole way.
    *There are plenty of weapons to buy, and upgrades.
    *There are plenty of enemies to fight, all with different themes depending on the world.
    *The game allows you to play with your own unique style of play.

    Cons
    *Mario is required to always be in your team. This is something I wish I could change. In certain situations I don't want to be stuck with Mario. I want to test out different combinations without him.
    *The lineup is limited to only 8 characters. They really could had added more characters, with unique abilities. Disgaea , for example, has tons. Even Mario Party games have a larger lineup.
    *You are required to keep at least one rabbid in your team. Honestly, to me, the rabbids feel kind of inferior to the ones they cosplay as. All I need is Mario, Luigi and Peach and I am pretty much unstoppable.
    *The skill tree feels kind of limited. There isn't many choices and many of the skill tress feel like copies of each other. Not much creativity was put into them.    … Expand
