The other addition is Ally Combination Abilities. These are CPU-controlled, but anyone can tap L+R on a separate controller to open a 2-4 player co-op game in the middle of gameplay. Any enemy or mid-boss that can be eaten to gain a Copy Ability can alternatively be recruited into a 3-character party that follows Kirby and helps him fight off enemies and solve puzzles. It brings one main aspect to the table: A Party System. The level design, optional areas and collectibles in each stage, method boss battles happen, sound effects, and even the way you unlock Extra Stages in each World are huge love letters to past titles, even going as far as making characters like King Dedede and Meta Knight playable characters.īut Star Allies isn’t just nostalgia. Although its new mechanics have strong emphasis on co-op multiplayer, you will be navigating 2D areas and fighting off enemies and bosses, like in virtually all Kirby platformers.įor the most part, this game feels much like many Kirby games before it.
Like many games before it, Kirby: Star Allies is a 2D side-scroller with combat elements. A lot more than I’ve seen in any other Kirby game, and really made me want to research the lore even more on what they expanded in this entry. While I can’t say much of this to avoid giving out spoilers, I will say that towards the end of the game, and the end of one of the post-game campaign modes, Star Allies does a lot to expand upon the Kirby lore. At the same time, Kirby is hit by one of these Hearts and gains the strange ability to instantly transform enemies into his own Friends and Allies. On a seemingly-normal day in Dreamland, strange purple Hearts rain down from the sky, corrupting anyone and anything it touches. Here is my review of Kirby: Star Allies for the Nintendo Switch! Story Let’s talk about Kirby’s newest adventure.
That took some research to figure out and know for today.īut, let’s not talk about internet debates. Ever since the demo dropped on the eShop, people have been up in arms with a million nitpicks, including referring to Star Allies as “Return to Dreamland 2”. Now that it’s here, we see a classic case of Fanbase Controversy. Although I haven’t played a new Kirby game since the era of the GBA over not liking Triple Deluxe, I was pretty thrilled at the idea of a Nintendo Switch Kirby game coming. One of my favorite Nintendo franchises, if not my most favorite, has always been the pink puff ball vacuum cleaner of Dreamland, Kirby.
