    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

The combos are great, the progression in the game is nice and the tactical part is well done. The best bonuses are to do damages with free action while moving, and also the secondary effects applied on the characters (bounce, honey...). A must-have on Switch.… Expand

My only grip was the overworld map can be confusing to navigate and there is no mini map.… Expand

    Definitely a good game, but trust me when I say it's not what you would prefer with TB. It's refreshing for a Mario experience, but it's notDefinitely a good game, but trust me when I say it's not what you would prefer with TB. It's refreshing for a Mario experience, but it's not even on the same level as a game like Persona 5. If you have already played that this year, this game will seem pretty easy in comparison too. But cheers for the Switch finally getting a game that wasn't on the Wii U first.… Expand

Bravo.

    Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is an RPG where you'll need to position your team of three characters and attack enemies with weapons. There are a number of techniques available; while moving, you can run into an enemy to damage them, and characters have specific abilities. Taking guarding into account is important too, as you can avoid enemy fire, but enemies can also guard themselves from you, forcing you to think about where to put your characters so that you can both attack enemies and minimise your own damage taken.

    Between battles, there are sections where you control characters around the world, solving puzzles and finding secrets. Both aspects of the gameplay are fun, and it gets quite difficult too.

    The game has a lot of charm, such as the amusing weapon descriptions and interactions between the Mario cast and their Rabbid counterparts. It won't appeal to everyone, and I found that it occasionally glitches/lags, but Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a great RPG and game in general, with surprisingly deep gameplay and great music.    … Expand
