A quirky and strategic crossover

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle brings together two very different worlds – the beloved Mario universe and the chaotic Rabbids – in a unique and unexpectedly fun way. Developed by Ubisoft, this tactical RPG sees Mario and his friends team up with the mischievous Rabbids to save the Mushroom Kingdom from a bizarre new threat. The game’s combination of strategic combat and light-hearted humour quickly captured the hearts of players. With a simple, yet engaging story, it offers both Mario fans and newcomers a fresh take on turn-based gameplay.

Tactical combat with a twist

The gameplay of Kingdom Battle revolves around grid-based tactical battles where players control Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, and various Rabbid versions of these characters. The system is easy to pick up, but there’s enough depth to keep things interesting. Players can use cover strategically, plan movement carefully, and make use of unique character abilities to outsmart their opponents. The use of “team moves” and special abilities adds an extra layer of strategy, making each battle feel rewarding. Additionally, puzzles and hidden secrets scattered throughout the world encourage exploration between fights.

A surprisingly fun and challenging adventure

While the premise might seem odd, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle offers an experience that’s both fun and challenging. It’s accessible enough for newcomers to the strategy genre but provides enough complexity for seasoned players to enjoy. The art style is bright and charming, staying true to Mario’s vibrant world, while the Rabbids inject their chaotic energy into every scene. Whether you’re a fan of Mario, tactical RPGs, or just love a good crossover, this game offers a fresh and enjoyable experience that stands out in the crowded world of Nintendo Switch titles.
