Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Reviews
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a gorgeous adventure and an engrossing tactical romp, offering a solid challenge and some unique combat quirks that will please tactical fans.
It uses humour that kids will appreciate, but parents and adult gamers will get more from. Best yet, it doesn't hold your hand, demanding a carefully-planned strategy to accomplish your goals.
Ubisoft have crafted something extremely special in Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, and it's absolutely worth the time, effort, and patience to see it all the way through to the end. The references, the tone, and the way it all works with the Switch's portable nature makes it one of the platform's best by a good mile.
Like a food pairing that shouldn't work but does, Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle overcame our scepticism and rewarded us with a supremely competent turn-based strategy game.
A strategy based game that's challenging and well-designed enough, it might just have you shrieking "BWAAAAH!"
The most Nintendo, non-Nintendo game ever made.
If The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild wasn't enough to push your switch to Nintendo Switch, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle definitely should force your wallet. Gaming like this is as rare as hens Rabbid teeth.
If you had told me last year that one of my favourite games of 2017 would involve Rabbids I would've called you crazy. How wrong I was - it turns out having a franchise as solid and polished as Mario does wonders to ground the humour of the childish Rabbids, and ensures this is one of the most downright enjoyable strategy games I've played in quite some time.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a game that will surprise people. The level of quality and depth here is absolutely extraordinary. There are some very well thought out levels that involve doing more than just fighting one or two foes. The character movesets mean you'll have favorites you rely on often and others you find yourself needing for specialized situations. The campaign and hub are structured in a way that encourages you to return to retry levels or access new areas with recently acquired Beep-0 skills. It is one of the most charming and detailed games I have played in 2017 and I suspect it will go on to become one of the Switch's most memorable titles.
A trip to the Mushroom Kingdom by way of Ubisoft and the Rabbids, this risky move pays off with an addictive and challenging turn-based strategy RPG full of great fan service and more than a few laughs
A crazy and extremely fun mash-up, embellished by an excellent combat system and a compelling soundtrack by the eternal Grant Kirkhope.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle may not be the deepest tactical RPG, but it delivers a solid all-around experience that takes advantage of the strengths of both Mario and the Rabbids—making for one of the most surprisingly enjoyable game experiences you're likely to have this year.
If you own a Nintendo Switch, you want this game, period. I didn’t know I wanted this mashup, but now that we have it, I can’t wait for the DLC, and I definitely want sequels.
M+R Kingdom Battle is truly a gem in the crown lineup of Nintendo Switch games. It has proven its worth tenfold, and is in the rare position of having me excited for what lies ahead for it in the form of its season pass.
All in all, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a fantastic addition to the Switch line-up, and it's also a great strategy game that brings fresh ideas to the genre.
I can only hope this relationship with Nintendo and Ubisoft continues, because aside from Breath of the Wild, Mario + Rabbids is the best game on the Switch.
Many were sceptical about Nintendo lending out Mario for a Rabbids game, but this unique tactical RPG is a prime example of why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. While it’s not developed by Nintendo, it retains that distinct Nintendo charm and polish throughout. If you’re looking for a deep RPG for the Switch, Mario + Rabbids’ quality might just surprise you.
Unlike some of the most recent Ubisoft games and just like Rayman, Mario + Rabbids have been made with some kind of passion that we rarely see among third party developers. when Ubisoft makes a game with passion and craze, the output is almost certainly a masterpiece.

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle proves that the combination of an eastern idea with the western one, can lead to a great result. this game has problems like the lack of online multiplayer or low variety in playable characters. but on the other hand Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom has a great campaign which can keep you entertained for a long time and make you forget the lack of online multiplayer. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom is a great game that every Nintendo switch owner will enjoy playing it.
