    Fairly easy game. No long tutorial like Zelda games have. It’s more like a Mario game.

    This game is fantastic. The story mode is great, and has all sorts of things you can do in each level. There are puzzles throughout, and all are very enjoyable. Co-op is very smooth, it is great for playing with a couple friends. Co-op is not split screen, so it is easy to see where you are in handheld mode. I would highly recommend this, even with the high price tag. I could play this game over and over again.

    Kirby Star Allies for the most part is what you would expect from a Kirby game. It has a fairly easy campaign mode with a good challenge offered by the post game content for those who want it! As with all recent Kirby games, Kirby Star Allies features a rather prominent gimmick. This time around that gimmick is multiplayer, and the entire game is built around it. This means the game is at its best while playing with up to 3 friends, and its a load of fun. Though playing solo at times can often feel a bit held back due to the games focus on multiplayer, but is still pretty fun! My only real gripe with the game is that the game tells you how to solve the already somewhat simple puzzles in the game. Which I found a bit annoying. Over all this game is great for those who enjoy the series, but if you never have enjoyed the Kirby series. Star Allies certainly will not change your mind.

    Solo and multiplayer fun but not a huge challenge

    To enjoy this game you really need to have the right expectations for it. The instructions given throughout the game are straight forward and helpful. Graphically this game looks great and the happy music is pretty good. It is fun to see what different characters' skills are and how they can combine with one another. This game allows players to join in whenever they want then they can jump out of the game and let the main player continue on. The computer is intuitive when you are playing with three other computer controlled characters. They figure stuff out and do help you out along the way. With all of that being said, it is not hard to fully accomplish these levels and beat the bosses. There are a couple of levels that I had to go back into to get the special puzzle piece and push the main button but it isn't too tough to do. This is definitely a kid level difficulty and I wish they would have had an additional harder setting. Even though this game is not very hard, it is fun. I enjoyed playing it due to the cool characters and different decisions that you can make on some of these levels. It is also a great multiplayer game as up to four people can play together. So if you are looking for a fun game that is a break from more challenging games and allows you to have an enjoyable local multiplayer experience then this is for you.

    Fun game that I enjoy as well as my 8 yr old son. Different modes to mix up gameplay. A lot of cool characters to choose from. We accidentally got my son the same game from friends. That’s the only reason I have to return it. Games are really expensive.

    Pros: 1080p lovely graphics with little to no frame rate issues Dozens of abilities 4 player support Wonderful art style Responsive controls Good soundtrack and effects Cons: Quite possibly the easiest Kirby game out there, which says something. There is almost zero challenge. I was hoping for something like Return to Dreamland, where the game got challenging eventually, but with overpowered combined abilities the game is WAAAAY too easy. This is coming from someone who enjoyed Robobot, Triple Deluxe, and RtD. Only 30 FPS, which is a real bummer considering that the 3DS games run at 60fps. 7/10. Good for kids, it is playable enough for more experianced gamers, but a terribly easy game is also very easy to put down and forget about.

    My 7 year old son saw this game and had to have it. He's fairly new to console gaming and we've only had the Switch for less than a year. We started playing this game and it has quickly become one of his favorite games to play. We actually beat it pretty quickly but there are fairly regular updates to the game which add to the ability to replay it. As such my son still regularly gravitates back to this game to see what's new and if we can get to 100% completion on the game. I would highly recommend this game to anyone with younger kids who are just starting out with gaming.

    Only took a few hours to beat but game is fun. Even for an adult there are a lot of colorful graphics and it's too funny how some of the things work out in the game. I found that copying powers was simple as well as combining them. The real fun in the game however comes with the co-op when you play with people who are bad at the game. What ends up happening is you end up laughing at all the stupid things that happen. It's a good game worth playing and with Gamer's club you can get a decent price for it as well.

    Kirby Star Allies is a delightful, vibrant adventure packed with charm and fun. The co-op gameplay is perfect for friends or family, and the ability to recruit enemies adds a creative twist. Gorgeous visuals, catchy music, and classic Kirby magic make it a joyful experience from start to finish!

    Kirby Star Allies is exciting, entertaining, and Adventurous it has many fun characters from the other Kirby games to play and fight against you or alongside you. There is even a mini game where you can play other characters other than Kirby to beat a few bosses or a puzzle. Group play is awesome play together as different characters to win the game. Perfect solo game or multiplayer game I recommend you buy this to add to your collection or if your a begginer starting out.

    It’s par for the course that a Kirby game is well made, and this is no exception. The mechanics of combining elements with more standard abilities provides a lot of room for customization and playing the way that you prefer. With free updates adding new characters, the game only gets better and better. Although a bit on the easy side overall, it is still a very enjoyable experience in both single and multiplayer.

    I bought this for my 12-year-old son. He got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and loves the system. He's had other Kirby games on the Wii, which he also loved. This one is no exception. It's simple to learn but there are a lot of challenges for the experienced gamer. It would be easy for a younger child to learn, but it is still a lot of fun. Would recommend for Switch users.

    I am really loving this game so far. I'm a casual gamer and extremely uncoordinated, but having a great time regardless. My bf and I have been playing together. I'm not sure I'd be as into solo play, but multi is a blast. This would be a good game for the younger audience as well, simple controls. The blending of weapons and abilities is fantastic. Do yourself a favor and pick up the Kirby star amiibo, it's adorable.
