Customer Ratings & Reviews

There are so many good things I could say about Mario & Luigi: Brothership, but it’s best that you play it yourself for the best experience. It’s an RPG, so it has the traditional turn-based combat that every Mario & Luigi game has, with some unique elements here and there. As for the story, it does drag on at first, but gets really interesting and engaging on the later half, making it all worth it in the end. In conclusion, this game is a must-have for those who are familiar to any Mario & Luigi game (or RPG fans in general)!

This is a great addition to the Mario & Luigi series with a wonderful story full of interesting characters and a rewarding satisfying battle system. It's slower paced than previous games, but not to it's detriment. It slowly yet steadily builds to one of the most epic conclusions in the series.

My son is over the moon! He loves the combat system story! He says it is innovative and so much fun!

Pretty good. Good to see these characters in this style game

This is a great game, takes over 60 hours to finish, fun random enemy battles and really fun and challenging boss battles, it takes a while before the enemies start giving you good experience points but once they do you can turn almost any area into a good experience point breeding ground, the bros. attacks are always fun to use, I highly recommend this game.

Been waiting 9 years for another Mario and Luigi game and they DID NOT disappoint :D

I cannot stress this enough how wonderful it is to see the return of this series. However as a long time fan there are little nitpicks that constantly come up as you play. Normally I wouldn’t give them too much weight, but they do pile up. The game is charming and looks good, but at times it doesn’t run, or play well compared to past games in the series, and the story and tutorializing is at least for the first few hours I’ve played, bland and intrusively obnoxious. It’s unfortunate but this game could really benefit from some updates and the backwards compatibility of Nintendo’s next system hopefully offering it more horsepower, but with Nintendo neither of those are guarantees.

It’s a very good game that’ll give you around 50-60 hours of gameplay. The fighting mechanism is very good and the story development is pretty good. I highly recommend this game.

The new edition to Mario and Luigi franchise has just arrived. It’s a fun game for the whole family as well as those playing on their own.

Mario & Luigi Brothership is a great time for long time fans of the RPG series. Minor frame rate issues do not hinder what is a nice return to the once believed to be extinct franchise.

Mario luigi rpg goodness is back! Funny dialogue fun game play wacky adventure

Combat 10 out of 10 but there is a lot of dialogue so just skip through all the talking if you want to and you'll be fine. Still a good game despite the reviews

Awesome game - my kid loves it. Mario never disappoints!

GREAT GAME! just buy it from a different site. This is the 3rd time someone has ordered a game in my family from Bestbuy that looks half melted. The thin plastic cover is so tight is has snapped the thicker plastic case.

got the game but the pre order gift was never sent. Don’t pre-order anything from best buy online. This is the second time has happened.

Pretty fun game overall, especially if you enjoy the mario and luigi series. I've played since superstar saga and its a solid entry. Gameplay is just as fun as you would expect, battles are fun and the overworld is fun to explore as well. Luigi does kind of move on his own but it never bothered me as he will stay behind you when moving but he just interacts more with his surroundings if anything. Story overall isn't bad, it isn't a difficult game either. It doesn't hold your hand but I never got a game over. The visuals are great and I love the art style and colors overall. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys these games or would like to get into them. You wouldn't miss out on any other lore if you haven't played the previous titles.

I have played about 15 hours of Mario and Luigi Brothership and it delivers a lot of what I loved from the series while adding fresh ideas. The story takes Mario and Luigi to a new world of islands in the shattered realm of Concordia and the sense of exploration really stood out. The artwork and character animations are beautifully done. Luigi’s expressions alone made me smile more than once. The combat system feels richer than some earlier entries. The new Battle Plugs add strategy and it is fun to experiment with combinations in battles. I also liked how puzzles incorporate Luigi’s unique Luigi Logic moments. They are quirky and show the game is not just resting on old formulas. That said, the game is not perfect. It takes a while to really pick up momentum and I found myself wishing some sections were shorter or more streamlined. The performance on the Switch felt uneven at times especially when many characters or effects were on screen. But none of these issues overshadow how much fun I am having. If you are a fan of Mario RPGs and want something both familiar and new this is a solid pick. The brotherly dynamic between Mario and Luigi remains as charming as ever and the new ideas keep the adventure exciting. Pros: Rich combat, charming animations, genuine Mario and Luigi chemistry Cons: Slower pacing early on, occasional performance issues

Even though the game doesn't get to the same heights as previous M&L games it's a good entry. It's a slow burner for sure and the humour is not as good as previous M&L games. The art direction and gameplay are great though!

I really enjoy mario and luigi games and paper mario games, this one is a lot of fun. It's a cute story and the mario rpg combat is great here. Only thing i would say is the game is a bit long, there are a lot of side quests that can be kind of annoying. I'd recommend trying paper mario first.

After a six year long hiatus after the bankruptcy of AlphaDream, Nintendo brought back the Mario & Luigi series in a new adventure on Switch. Transported to another world called Cordellia, Mario and Luigi set sails to brighten up 5 grand lighthouses to reconnect the islands of Cordellia while fighting foes along the way. Like the previous installments from the Mario & Luigi series, you control Mario & Luigi through different islands of Cordellia equipped with jumping abilities, hammer abilities and Bros. abilities to defeat enemies and solving puzzles to gain experience and leveling up to become stronger. There are also side missions to tackle in order to progress the story further and are important to complete the entire game. While the frame-rate and performance have some slowdowns, the battle system is good, the story is good and the NPC designs were cute. I had a fun time with the adventure and hopefully, the Mario Bros. Will get more M&L games in the near future.
