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.

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.

I’m a huge Kirby fan in this game does not disappoint. Highly recommend it.

Kirby games in general have never been particularly difficult. I mean he can trivialize platforming just by flying! Star Allies makes you feel like a god then with the amount of powers that you can absorb. In an odd little way Star Allies feels more like a beat-em up with how the levels flow. Kirby has strong move sets with many of the powers he can absorb. If you have ever played a fighting game before you'll feel right at home with his combos and special moves. Since Kirby can throw a star to make regular enemies and defeated mid-bosses into allies, it gives you a ton of firepower to take on anything. So a couple little enemies are no match for your squad even when the AI is in control of them (if you have three human friends controlling your team it's even easier). Even bosses have a tough time keeping up with how much damage you can dish out. Early boss fights are over in a flash and not until way late in the game did I need to use the dodge button to avoid attacks. The simple puzzles are fun. You'll have to figure out which combination of enemy powers works to discover secrets and unlock doors. There's also really fun team transformations that really change the pace of the game. From flying shooting segments to rolling through the stage as a destructive wheel, all are fun to see and happen just the right amount of times. But unfortunately the game is so easy that it's a breeze to get through. Amiibos can give you random power-ups to keep you going. Some allies can create health items for the whole team (and health can be shared by touching your teammates). And then there are enough pick-ups to keep your extra lives counter going up up up! Outside the main game there are some special challenge modes but I didn't get a chance to play them yet. They may provide the difficulty I seek. Overall though, despite being easy, Kirby Star Allies is A LOT of fun. You'll feel unstoppable with a full crew of allies!

This is generally your typical Kirby game. The stand out features is the ability to have 4 players at once and you can combine powers to create new unique abilities. Every level has lots of collectables and secrets in true Kirby fashion. However this one tends to be a little shallow. Pretty much all puzzles have the required power ups in the exact same room and secret rooms aren't so secret. Nonetheless the game is a blast to play and has plenty of content to keep you busy.

I've brought out this game from time to time to play with younger children (7 to 12 year olds). The gameplay is very simple and quite forgiving with it being a cooperative 1-4 players. Simple platforming but it's to be expected with a Kirby series game. If you're looking for more difficulty this game might not be for you though. Still fun nevertheless if you aren't looking for a tedious challenge.

I've always loved this little pink puff, ever since the GameBoy version. This one on the Switch looks and plays amazing. The abilities and having friends is especially cool. Some complain this game is a little easy. Maybe it is compared to some things, but that's ok because sometimes I just want to have fun rather than being frustrated. If you like Kirby, there's no way you'll dislike this one.

Such a fun game for the kids! Love that you can play with CPU or friends; new buddies and their perks are a great addition. A lot of us loved Kirby as a child, but remember we were children - so if you’re expecting it to be harder to play this time around, you may want to invest in another. Otherwise, great for kids, young adults and first time players.

Overall, this Kirby game gives tribute to the original Kirby series without sacrificing too much while adding new features/games/abilities. The friend feature which I can only attest to playing solo thus far, as you can play with other people and they take control of the other characters, is overall great as they are helpful and essential to moving along the story line, these friends act on their own and perform own attacks which you as Kirby may want to do yourself. My suggestion for this is to make less friends or no friends in the game! Still, the combo abilities of having those friends is a new and fun feature that is definitely welcomed in this game. I've finished roughly half the game and though the game isn't particularly long, it is worth the entertainment and nostalgia you may gotten from previous Kirby iterations. One thing that is different from those previous Kirby iterations is that you usually fly with Kirby into many different secret nooks and areas usually above many areas and that does not seem to be present in Star Allies. The story line is quite linear in stages and there aren't too many areas where you can "explore" and find secret areas. which I will say is what made previous version more fun. Still, great game that you can mindlessly play without requiring full focus and still greatly enjoy!

The game has an interesting story, decent graphics details and easy simple controls! It is also a great game to enjoy on one's free time. It does not require friends or families to work together, so will be a good choice when one wants to be alone. If one does not good at play game, this game is perfect for him/her because it is relaxing and you don't have to compete with others.

Great little game for younger audiences. The game is quite short (my playtime was about 7 hours). The game never gets difficult, so if you are looking for a challenging experience, this is likely not the game for you. The game is intended and designed for a multiplayer audience, however it can still be a good bit of fun playing through the adventure solo.

I found Kirby star allies to be a blast to play through with my friends, the game isn't too challenging, but playing with all sorts of different combinations and partner characters was a blast. My main gripe with the game is how unbelievably short I felt the experience was. If the story was double the length, it would have been just right in my opinion. The game is still a blast, just not worth the full price tag.

With all the bells and whistles, every main line Kirby game since SNES has been a reimagining of Kirby’s Super Star. The multiplayer capabilities for the Switch are easy snd fun. The “friend heart” mechanic seems a bit redundant. There are moments that are extremely hand holdy to the point where the game plays you while you watch. But it’s Kirby! It’s fun and bright and colorful and EASY.

Very short game but reviewing this based on quality vs quantity of time and it's still a solid Kirby experience. The graphics on the switch are vibrant, colorful, and you'll experience some new Kirby abilities. More fun playing with friends. Unfortunately the difficulty is not very challenging so it's a good game for young children but nonetheless another solid title for the switch.

Kirby Star Allies is a simple kirby game so don't expect too many challenges. Star Allies is best enjoyed with 4 different people. Unless you like to play with AI. Kirby Star Allies is a short and sweet game but that is just the Story mode. Star Allies has simple minigames. Overall Kirby Star Allies is a game which will give you excellent 4 player experience.

Having just come fresh off of Robobot, I had high expectations for this installment of the game. The game itself was a joy to play, but the main storyline is incredibly short. Just as the story was beginning to ramp up, it had already ended. Despite this, it is quite obvious that the creators put much attention to detail as the models and surroundings are gorgeous. In addition, there are many easter eggs hidden throughout the levels that will bring a smile to your face, especially for longtime Kirby fans. The post-game features a speedrun mode and a boss rush mode, similar to previous entries in the Kirby franchise. Those that aren't too fond of replaying the main story again with different characters and more obstacles probably won't find it as enjoyable. The minigames have also kept me hooked, although I just wish there were more of them. Comparing this to Robobot, I was more satisfied with the story and its pacing in Robobot, but that doesn't mean this game is bad. All in all, everything culminates into celebration fitting for Kirby's 25th Anniversary, I just wish there was a little more meat on the bone.

This is a great Kirby game, easily played by all ages and my 7 year old son and niece love to play, and if they aren't that great it doesn't matter the game play isn't hindered by the additional players. The ability to switch abilities and give some abilities different powers by combining them with others is great.

My 7yr old picked up the game play in no time, and became an expert in about a day. It has an amazing amount of moves considering they game only uses a few simple buttons. Great game for all ages, up to 4 players at once teaming together in one screen (not split screen like in other games)

Overall, an excellent game. The characters are so cute with a good image & sound quality. The local multiplayer feature is also a good implement. Very good to be played together. One word from the core players: difficulty can not be adjusted and appears too 'relaxing' if in multiplayer mode.

Good Kirby game easy for newcomers and could be a joke for veterans to the Kirby franchise but nevertheless a good game but only wished it was longer finished the game in 5 hrs :/ Had fun but wished the game was longer especially at the 59.99 price tag it's got lucky I paid 47.99 b/c of gcu but still if u want it wait for a slight discount cuz it's not worth 59.99
