Honestly, I expected the Mario and Rabbids crossover to be a watered-down tactics game that was so simple and goofy that it could only be enjoyed by children. I was completely wrong. There's so much depth and content that this is an incredibly fun blast regardless of age. It’s challenging enough to entertain mature gamers, while offering an easy mode to satisfy kids and incompetent tacticians. With addictive combat, a charming story and an abundance of content with only more to come, Mario + Rabbids ticks so many boxes that it’s hard to find many flaws. Other than Breath of the Wild, this might just be the best game currently available on the Switch.

Smart and challenging combat system; Lengthy campaign and plenty of content; Story captures that lovable Mario charm;

Inconsistent quality in puzzles;

Best Tactical Game on the Switch till this date!

When I first heard about the game, I wasn't very interested, but after playing it for a while it's one of the best games the switch has to offer.

Very fun game and lots of strategy involved.

Loved it. Real cutesy but it goes very deep with respect to playability. only issue was it was too short for my liking. Boss battles were epic. hope we see a sequel. Well done Ubisoft for such an innovative title. Real keen to see more games of this type on the Switch.

Without a doubt, there are very few collaborations that have ever raised the eyebrows of the collective gaming community quite like that of the unlikely union of Nintendo's Mario and Ubisoft's Raving Rabbids franchises.

Positives + Solid combat mechanics + Most unlikely franchise pairing actually works + Strong visuals and animations + Co-op based challenge mode

Negatives; Can get downright hard at times; Players that focus on a few characters may face hard times later; Mistakes can cost you

How Ubisoft's Rabbids become intertwined with Nintendo's Mushroom Kingdom, featuring Mario and friends, is unimportant. Ambivalence towards Rabbid-style toilet humor might cause you to question this dubious marriage, but there's an admirable and wholehearted commitment in Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom...

Deep and exciting turn-based combat system; Satisfyingly challenging difficulty; Flexible options and helpful tools encourage progress and experimentation; An undeniably charming; vibrant world

Some minor technical imperfections

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a must have for Switch-owning fans of turn-based tactical games. More importantly, such is the style and depth on offer that it's also ideal for those that haven't played much of the genre, for whom 'X-COM' sounds like a silly acronym from a war movie.

Space Jam. Kingdom Hearts. Mayweather vs. McGregor. Three examples to show how fantastic crossovers can be. And then we have Alien vs. Predator to show us how bad they can get.
