Mario & Luigi: Brothership Reviews
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is yet another little gem in the impressive Nintendo Switch lineup. Acquire takes the helm of a saga born over twenty years ago on handheld consoles and successfully ferries it into 2024. Fun and multifaceted in its play proposition, the colorful new installment of the RPG adventures of the video game media's most famous plumber brothers is a must-have experience for Nintendo fans. There may be little in the way of ruolistics (apart from perhaps far too verbose dialogues), but one thing is for sure: it's really nice to experience a new odyssey with Mario and Luigi.

I was unimpressed with Brothership. I wanted a new Mario and Luigi game quite badly and as this shows, you should probably watch what you wish for. It’s lacking in story, presentation, a stable framerate and the constant hand-holding is infuriating. The only saving grace is that the premise of it is interesting and the battle system is massively entertaining.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is exactly the game the series needed. It captures all the essence fans love: fun, clever humor, and outstanding battle mechanics. If you’re a fan of RPGs and the Mario universe, this game is perfect for you. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best RPG experiences ever created in the world of Mario.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership tells a charming and positive story with incredibly poor pacing and some impressive combat and exploration mechanics that have quite a bit of depth.
At the end of the day, Mario and Luigi: Brothership has plenty of great elements to it that are also trapped behind a game that just wants to take its time and squeeze as much juice out of itself as it can.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership takes far too long to get to the point, and the journey to get there isn’t nearly as interesting as it needs to be to make it feel worthwhile. Again, there are some great ideas here, and the game looks amazing, but unless you want your hand held for dozens upon dozens of hours, you’ll probably find yourself a little let down by it all.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership delivers everything fans expect from a new game in the franchise: a solid use of the dynamic between the two brothers in its combat and exploration systems. Unfortunately, Mario & Luigi: Brothership falters by overextending itself, stretching its story beyond what's necessary with unnecessarily long dialogues and secondary content that, overall, does not significantly enhance the player experience.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership could have been great, but the wonderful presentation and level design can't save it from ceaseless conversations and the repetitive combat.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a typical Turn -based RPG. It has a very nice artstyle and the game speaks almost for itself. Good timing is very important. The game is a bit on the easy side, but this does not have to spoil the fun. A good game for young and old.

As interesting as the art direction and various game mechanics are, Mario & Luigi: Fraternal Charge is probably not the great comeback that many fans were hoping for, due to some choices that detract from its formula and enjoyment. The basic structure seemed excessively repetitive (perhaps the concept is starting to age a little too much?), and it failed to recapture the charisma of other Nintendo productions. It remains a cute, enjoyable and universally enjoyable RPG, even if we were hoping for something more for the return of this historic and beloved series.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a very enjoyable installment of the long-running RPG series starring the plumber brothers. An enjoyable battle system, a somewhat tame storyline, familiar characters and a pleasant soundtrack are definitely a recipe for success, despite a few imperfections. If you are looking for an enjoyable adventure for about 25-30 hours then Brothership is a very good choice.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is an exciting, albeit imperfect adventure that brings the Mario Bros. to a whole new world. There is plenty to see and do and it is well worth taking the time to slow down and immerse yourself in this brand new adventure.
