Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Reviews
Mario + Rabbids gives you the action and strategy of XCOM in a way that does justice both to Mario and to the Rabbid's kooky style. Ubi's big E3 surprise is an unmissable Switch game.
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
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is an unexpected delight. Fans of tactical strategy games should absolutely pick this one up as soon as possible and enjoy dozens of hours of intense battles and detailed progression.
Mario + Rabbids defies the stigma the Rabbids bring to the table and delivers a solid tactics-based game.
The feeling of becoming more adept at all of its moving parts is both powerful and joyful, encouraging me to try new things and have fun.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is an idea that has paid off big time. It’s a game that a lesser company would have avoided, but both Nintendo and Ubisoft have taken a risk and I’m frankly glad they did.
Ubisoft has achieved the impossible, they’ve not only given Mario his own XCOM game, they’ve created a third-party franchise that should remain a Nintendo staple in years to come.
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle manages to not only combine two very different franchises in what most thought to be an impossible manner; it also offers an accessible yet demanding and deep experience where no matter how difficult things may get, it remains an absolute joy to play.
To Davide Soliani and Ubisoft, I offer my apologies. This is one hell of a game and I can’t wait to squeeze every treasure and perfect rating out of the game. I honestly hope that this introduces the wonderful world of turn-based tactics to more people.
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.

In the end, we can say that Mario+Rabbids has become one of the best adventure games of the year by utilizaing interesting and innovative ideas which are presented in the form of a strategic gameplay, an exemplary game in terms of variety with a proper approach for the design that will bring you memorable moments. The only negative factor and disappointment of the game is the lack of an online part which prevents us from enjoying the game with others, whilst the game itself demands.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is another excellent addition to the Nintendo Switch's bustling first-year library of enjoyable titles. It does a great job of being accessible enough to lure strategy newcomers while also providing a good amount of challenge to vets. It comes with plenty of content to keep players going in solo and multiplayer modes, and every battle is entertaining. With a presentation that matches some of the better Super Mario titles out there, Mario + Rabbids is a perfect fit for your library.
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.
The best part of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is its gameplay design. Exploring various worlds is pleasant and thanks to smart location of gold coins you can't get lost. The combat is simple but there are new mechanisms and character introduced every now and then so it doesn't become boring. My encounter with Mario and the Rabbids lasted for more than a dozen of hours and it was really fun.

Mario + Rabbids delivers a fun and refreshing take on the Mario experience that only scratches the surface of this new tactical shooter's potential. Difficulty can vary wildly and the inability to save mid-battle might frustrate some folks while also making the game a bit tough for a younger audience. Its combination of humor and solid tactical gameplay, however, makes the game exactly the kind of title that Nintendo needs from third-party developers to build up its new system's library.
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.
Overall, I must say, I was really impressed by my time with Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. It's a polished X-Com style game that removes some of the obtuse layers to ensure the early gameplay curve is accessible, uses humor very well, and kept me coming back for more.
The Switch has had a great debut year, and Mario + Rabbids is another, if unexpected, excellent addition to its software library.
While Kingdom Battle's puzzles won't win any awards, the robust selection of challenging tactical battles entertains from beginning to end
Underneath the odd blend of Mario with the Rabbids lies a very good SRPG. Its combat mechanics are frantic, fun and complex enough to make the whole campaign a joy to play. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a nice surprise, there is no doubt about it.
