Ubisoft Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (Nintendo Switch)

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.It's a tactical role-playing game that combines characters from the Mario series with the crazy Rabbids from Ubisoft. The game features turn-based combat, where you strategize and use various abilities to defeat enemies. It's fun, challenging, and has a unique sense of humor. The graphics are colorful and vibrant, making it a joy to play. If you like strategy games and enjoy the Mario universe, you should definitely check it out!

I love the graphics in this game. The characters are colorful and fun. It is an adventure where I go into different worlds and try to collect coins. The goal is to defeat the enemy in each level. The last battle is where I have to defeat Bowser. It is a fun game that 1 or 2 players can play. There is also the Rabbids so be careful. It is an open world game.

Excellent turn based strategy game

I cannot believe there are full grown adults on here complaining that a kids game isn’t good for adults. Sad.Anyway, this is an excellent game. There are four beautifully designed worlds filled with platformer style puzzles which are reminiscent of Super Mario 3D world. Interspersed throughout each world are the turn based strategy encounters (think xcom). The battles are strategically challenging, but there is an easy mode which can be toggled for individual battles if you are more interested in the story.The writing is filled with Paper Mario style humor. The music is energetic and engaging. The story is simplistic and is more rabbids focused although Mario is the main character and rabbids make up the majority of the enemies.Overall the game is filled with ... MoreI cannot believe there are full grown adults on here complaining that a kids game isn’t good for adults.

Fun download only game with no physical card.

This is a fun game and at a great price. For those complaining there was no physical card and giving 1 star, they are correct but it specifically says that on the front cover image so it should not have been a surprise that it is a download only. Anyways, it’s a fun game and I prefer to only use digital downloads so no problems here.

Great Game

This game is a mix of XCOM turned based strategy gameplay and Mario exploration. Each world is divided into sections as are most Mario games but they are also broken into segments for each area. So, let's say you are in world 1-2, there may be a couple segments you have to explore or battle in to get through the 2nd act of world 1. The combat is very strategic, yes it starts off easy but it ramps up in difficulty quickly and you have to plan and play smart. The exploration areas in between battles offer up environmental puzzles, mazes, etc and many areas are blocked off by obstacles that you learn to eliminate as you play the game, this encourages you to go back and rock out the previous levels again for more collectibles, coins, etc. Many people seem to not like ... MoreThis game is a mix of XCOM turned based strategy gameplay and Mario exploration.

I have to say that Rabbid Peach has made me literally lol many times so far. The humor throughout the scripting and little cut scenes is all great, and even the things that happen sometimes in battle will give you a laugh. -The graphical quality of this game is absolutely top notch! The people at Ubisoft clearly did this as a passion project and it shows in every scene. I did notice frame drops a couple of times but it was never actually during a battle. -The sound effects are incredible and the music consists of modified versions of the classic Mario tunes we all know and love. -All of the weapons have unique effects and every character has their strengths and weaknesses. You have to adapt your team or you will die horribly. Overall: Graphics 10/10 (Absolutely Beautiful artwork and animations) Sound: 10/10 Great Effects and the music is excellent. Gameplay: 10/10 if you are good at strategy games like XCOM and Fire Emblem, but it may be a little too hard for the strategy newbie or for small kids.

Initially was upset. Game actually not missing

When I opened the game, I thought it was missing. But it states on the package if you read it that it doesn't come with the physical cartage, but there is a code on the sheet inside that you have to go online to your Nintendo account and download it. Once I did that,It showed up on all my sons Nintendo switch lites as I have a Family memberships. All is great and my kids have their game. So for anyone who thinks your game is missing. Check the inside for the 16 digit downloadable code.

It's Mario XCOM -- Great tactical, turn-based strategy game

Never thought I'd see Mario in a tactical strategy game in the same vein as XCOM. Crazy, huh? When they first came out with the idea, I was as skeptical as anyone else. But seeing the gameplay, I knew this was something special.It basically plays like like a Mario-flavored XCOM with some strategic differences. (Cover being 0, 50, or 100% and influencing whether or not you get your shot.) If you enjoyed XCOM games or things like Disgaea, Fire Emblem, etc., you will like this game. If you haven't tried a turn-based tactical RPG before, this game is a great introduction to the genre for you. Look up gameplay videos on Youtube; those will show you far better than I can explain what the game is like.The game is fun, colorful, and overall it's far more complex than I ... MoreNever thought I'd see Mario in a tactical strategy game in the same vein as XCOM.

It's not "just for kids" at all, and you'll find yourself having to redo some levels. There's also a button to press for easy mode on each individual mission, so don't worry if you're getting frustrated and just want to pass to the next one.The rabbids, by the way, are hilarious. I know a lot of people hate them, but they're not too annoying here. They're light-hearted fun.

Mario + Rabbids + XCOM?

Anyone who's a fan of the modern XCOM games will likely enjoy this as an XCOM-lite with its own twists, as long as they don't mind the visual direction. Much more challenging than the innocent cover implies, it's a fun turn-based tactical strategy game, with a good amount of depth and thought put into the gameplay.Story is basic and nothing special. Characters have quite a bit of personality. Soundtrack is well made and fits the setting. Probably my biggest surprise hit of 2017. If you had told me I would want to buy a Mario X Rabbids game a year ago, I would have said that was crazy talk.Definitely not a game for young kids, regardless of visual direction, as one review suggested it was. It would be too challenging for most to complete the full game.

May be fine for really experienced younger gamers who enjoy strategy games.

Mario's great Tactical RPG, done to perfection.

An amazing tactical RPG! The end challenges are HARD, like, keep trying because something might proc differently, hard. The story is pretty easy, offering some challenge but experienced TRPG players will dominate. Getting 100% is going to be a big hurdle, even for the most veteran of tactical RPG'ers. The variety with characters is fun, interesting, and offers a bit of "choice of play style". I almost wish it was longer or maybe had some nice DLC to include more characters with more mix of abilities and game play set ups. It's probably a 15-30hr game, ranging from "just want to do the story" to "want to 100% everything". I got it for about $15 which is an amazing value as nearly never minute was enjoyable! Wish they made more like this (maybe Smash Bros with a ... MoreAn amazing tactical RPG! The end challenges are HARD, like, keep trying because something might proc differently, hard.

Unorthodox idea becoming a success!

If you were to look me in the face and say that a game mostly surrounding the Rabbids would be great, then I would think you were absolutely crazy, as the thought of mixing an unorthdox group of insane rabbit-like creatures and with Nintendo may seem to insane to be a true idea, but we were all wrong. Not only is the gameplay surprisingly addictive, but the visuals, characters, and soundtrack are all top notch. A few cons were Rabbid Peach's personality being that of an aggressive, stereotypical modern phone-obsessed teenage girl, and people pretty much dismissing how Mario felt during the "Phantom" moments.But in the end, if you really think about, the Toads, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi, may be one of the first true friends, the Rabbids have.

We've seen how others react to the Rabbids' chaotic antics in the past. Very few tolerated and befriended them, but the Mushroom Kingdom Residents befriending the Rabbids takes this up a notch. all fitting with an important lesson in not being afraid of what you don't understand.I actually recommend this game to those who haven't played it yet, because even if you're skeptical, like we all were before, don't be, as this game is a ton of fun and way better than it has any right to be.
