Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Reviews
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a wonderfully pleasant surprise that masterfully accomplishes almost everything that it tries to do.
That a crossover as bonkers as "Mario plus Rabbids by way of XCOM" even exists is to be celebrated, and fortunately it's an absorbing title that's only slightly diminished by some simplistic cover mechanics.
Nintendo and Ubisoft's partnership to develop Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for the Switch was a brilliant idea and we want more!
With tight and brilliant gameplay, fun scenes featuring both Mario and Rabbids characters, a very detailed world, and challenges that'll keep you coming back, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch.
There's some really fun gameplay, with great bosses. However the open world feels empty and I wish there was lots more content for returning players after a first time completion.
An unlikely mash-up, Mario+Rabbids is a very unique game. The turn-based strategy elements aren't going to be for everyone, but for Mario fans this alternative look into the Mushroom Kingdom isn't worth passing up.
A strategy based game that's challenging and well-designed enough, it might just have you shrieking "BWAAAAH!"
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.
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.
The love and attention to detail from the developers, Ubisoft, Ubisoft Paris and Ubisoft Milan have made me smile, giggle, laugh, and enjoy my time in a world that they have created. I am not a huge fan of turn-based games, but what Ubisoft has done here with Nintendo IP's and their brand of anarchy the Rabbids, mold really well and I want more, a lot more.
Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle is that it's a fantastic entry into the Mario franchise and offers a new way of playing a Mario based game with its unique perspective on the strategic gameplay and charming world that has great music.
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.
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.

Who would have thought that a crossover of Mario and the Rabbids would be so damn fun to play? I thoroughly enjoyed my time venturing across the Mushroom Kingdom and taking part in tactical battles, with the accessible nature of combat proving to be entertaining even for newbies to the strategy genre. Add to the that the stunning visuals, the constant introduction of new mechanics, and the challenging yet fair difficulty curve and it’s hard not find yourself totally absorbed in Ubisoft’s bizarrely brilliant concoction. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle offers a fresh and unique experience that stands out as one of the Nintendo Switch’s best titles.
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a bright, beautiful, and truly wacky experience that proves what can be done when another studio works on a Nintendo license.
The most Nintendo, non-Nintendo game ever made.
Mario + Rabbids is Easy to learn, challenging to play through and a brain melter when trying to finish the hardest challenges of the game, along with fantastic gameplay with lots of variety in characters, weapons and abilities invite to try and try again even after multiple failed attempts. However, the story is a bit flat and short
It shouldn't work, but Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle coalesces into something that shows a reverence to Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom, but isn't afraid to challenge its ideas. It's a wonderful game in its own right, and a bit of magic for Nintendo's Switch that's far better than it has any right to be.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a hilarious, fun, and attractive looking title, despite some technical flaws here and there that are quickly overlooked due to all of its intrinsic qualities. If anything, this is perhaps the one Rabbid game that will truly push the critters into the realm of mainstream on a worldwide level, more so than they have ever been so far, simply because they are such a perfect fit with Mario in that universe, in a way that nobody would have ever expected. It's challenging, for sure, so fans of Mario who are wary of strategy games beware. If even ever so slightly interested in strategy, though, and willing to sit through it all, persevering as much as it takes to see it through to the end is a complete blast. Well worth checking out.
