I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased a copy of Kirby Star Allies on the Nintendo Switch. The failures from the PR and Marketing firm that represents this game have been mentioned before. Kirby Star Allies contains Story Mode, Chop Champs, and Star Slam Heroes.

Outside of a couple of fantastic moments at the end of the game I don't think the game will be that memorable for many gamers. This could be because I played through it in single player and others may probably get more mileage out of the game if playing through the whole thing in mulitplayer.

Colourful and charming game; Pick up and play gameplay of past Kirby games is present

As the series' first major outing on Switch, Kirby Star Allies seems like the kind of game that would have been designed with an eye toward pushing Kirby into the future. It isn't, though. Instead, it comes off as something closer to a recap of 25 years of Kirby history.

Kirby Star Allies isn't the greatest game in the series, nor is it the most original. Yet, with its fun gameplay, ample content and modes, and gorgeous presentation, it remains an irresistible title for Switch owners.

For better or worse, Kirby is Nintendo's most consistent franchise. New entries come often, and they don't stray too far from the "pretty good" mark in either direction. On that scale of inoffensiveness, Star Allies rests a bit on the low end, offering a bland Kirby experience with few new...

Kirby has been around for a fair few years now (since 1992 with Kirby's Dream Land, in fact), and this month marks his return in the form of Kirby Star Allies, developed for Switch and with an emphasis on party play.
