New previews of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
- Thread starter LordKano
- Start date
Funnily enough I'm thinking of doing that. Not because I think the game will be bad, just that I'm not sure whether it's personally worth paying £42 for.

Combat gets worse IMO.
It's so easy and because one party composition/strategy is so clearly the most effective, it justs super repetitive.
Name of the game is Mario + Rabbids
Not Luigi + Peach + Yoshi

Concerning. I'll be waiting for reviews then.
Ditto as far as I am concerned. Halfway through the third world, and the combat is starting to get a bit repetitive for me as well. Have mostly kept with the same party for the past while after figuring out the fastest combination to clear maps.
Boss fights are excellent though!
How does that address their desire, lol

Exactly. This is why you can only play as Mario in Mario Kart and why John Madden must always be on your team in Madden. Why is this so hard for some to grasp?

Encountered a strange bug making me unable to use the A button. If I switched controller modes it lets me press A once or twice, then locks up again. (Thankful for that since I was 1 A press away from finishing a fight). I reset the game and everything seems fine now.
Hopefully this gets fixed quickly!

Nah, I was just pointing there's no harm in it, and there's an obvious reason why they do it: because people want to know more about this game.

Does only having
worlds (I think this information is publicly available) make the game feel short to people who have it?
I thought there would have been at least

The GAF impressions have been overwhelmingly positive.
And it's not trying to be XCOM wholesale. It's adapted the gameplay into a more casual friendly package. That kind of length, difficulty and depth for a younger audience would be insane. 20 hours + side content seems more than fine.
My exact haul too! Plus Windjammers digitally. Cannot wait for Tuesday.
Reviews are out in 10 hours. OT probably in a day or so.
Me right now
Well fuck, this is what I was afraid of. Should I cancel my preorder and wait for tomorrow's reviews?!
I'm leaning towards keeping it though. It'll be great for me to play while my husband uses the PS4- he's still playing through DQ11. If it sucks, I can resell it and lose maybe $5-10 total.
No Rabbid Reggie?!!?!?! Fuck this game.
I'm still messing around in the first world. The exploration elements are better than I thought they'd be. In the first world alone there were 20 levels, including two secret ones and two boss ones. Upon re-exploring afterwards with a new ability, there are a further 10 challenge levels which have tougher objectives in them, and a whole load of unlockables hidden around the world that the new ability helps you to find.
You'd never guess this was a Ubisoft game from playing it. The charm levels are off the chart.

Now a friend of mine's game crashed and took him several tries to get it to start back up. Do we know if there'll be a day-one update?
It doesn't feel short at all. Can't say how long ive been playing, because of frequent breaks, but id guess the game is between 10-15 hours with a lot of extra challenges and side routes to be revisited after completing a world.
Not sure how long strategy games are though, 12 hours with good replay value / extra content seems good to me. Its really the first strategy game ive enjoyed enough to play more than a couple hours of.

The Rabbids games/media have always been very charming. It's great non-vocal slapstick.
Usually way longer than that.
What is this composition/strategy? Feel free to put in spoilers so others aren't spoiled.

The Rayman games had a lot of charm
Yeah, fair enough. I guess it's easy to just think Ubi = sterile open world.
Still, this game has Nintendo levels of charm.
This kinda bummed me out when I first read it, then I remembered that I played through both Costume Quest games twice and the combat there is extremely repetitive. Maybe I won't care provided the charm factor and boss battles are enjoyable.

I still think its a good game, just wrapped up the challenges + Secret level for world 3 and they were as usual much better than the normal world combat.
But the pacing of chapter 3 was pretty tiring,tons of combat which didn't really have anything interesting about it.
Regarding that strategy
In non Mario + Rabbid terms:
You use weapons that have X% chance to move an enemy.
Moving an enemy in M+R triggers overwatch.
Mario has an AOE damage buff (+70%) that lasts one round.
Luigi is a sniper with an overwatch ability that triggers 3 times.
So using Luigis overwatch and Marios buff, your getting
-1 Attack from Mario
-1 Attack from Luigi
-1 Attack from a Rabbid
- Up to 3 extra attacks if an enemy moves or is moved by you
, all boosted by 70%.
Certainly. I don't know that Odyssey can beat it on the visual front considering the scope of that game. Not sure what people are talking about with MK8. Not that it isn't a nice looking game, but this is a step up visually.
Thank you! Saving this post for when I get the game.
I still think I'm going to give it a shot.

One wink the game is good, two winks run away
Man, i hope the game is good. It maybe my only shot to get to play a somewhat Xcom gameplay with my wife, using it as a gateway drug possibly taking that toward a Divinity 2 coop campaign...

Any chance that beating the game lets you fully change up your team any way you like?
