Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great puzzle game with Mario and Co. along with the Rabbids, which I didn't expect to be as awesome as it is! The story is a bit crazy and random, but its kept short and sweet and you just have to go with it and it works in a non-sensical way. Graphics and music is wonderful and overall the game is a lot of fun. It can be a bit hard so younger kids may have to give it several tries to beat some of the bosses, but I enjoyed the game and it far exceeded my expectations. Lots of great reviews for this game if you read around and well worth it, especially if you manage to buy it on sale!

This game is a blast, turn based attack modes with a small amount of open world feel. This game is family oriented, however for the battles and strategic gameplay aspect, I’d recommend for an older crowd. Early teens and adults. Kids will love to watch you play it. Screen play is funny and the story line is hilarious.

Let me start by saying that this is probably the best and most comical RTS (Real Time Strategy) game you will ever play. I have roughly 150 hours in the game which includes playing the optional DLC…which is great by the way. Well worth the price. Anyway, this game is both easy and extremely difficult and it all depends on you. Let me explain. While it can be easy to complete most levels, getting perfect (completing a level under a certain number of turns with no deaths) completions are typically very difficult. Whether or not that is necessary depends solely on your playstyle. The story makes sense and is very funny. Plenty of hilarious cutscenes to see. The game routinely makes fun of Nintendo and its characters. Hell the Rabbids are essentially parodies of the Nintendo’s characters. Spoiler alert: Rabbid Peach is the star of the show and no, she does NOT need saving. There are plenty of collectibles, challenges, secrets, and puzzles if that is your thing. Trust me. Many of them will take real concentration. Do NOT be fooled by the game’s simplistic and childlike appearance as many of you adults will struggle to complete some of its challenges and puzzles. Outside of the story, the best part about this game is its mechanics. Most RTS games typically allow you to only perform one action per character per turn. This game allows you to perform many actions per turn and in any order. For example, while using Mario you can move and Dash one enemy, continue moving towards your teammate, jump off of them to headstomp another enemy, then bouning behind cover. From there you can activate/use a special, then shoot your enemy of choice if in range. Another thing to note is the games personality and character. Everyone one the battlefield has so much personality and quirkiness. Enemies in front of your intended target will duck to avoid being hit like someone NOT willing to risk their life. When the targeted enemy knows your attack will not hit them, they hide behind the wall with a confident evil smile. These little details make the game better in some many ways. The character upgrade system is diverse and forgiving. If you took a path to unlock a specific upgrade that you was necessary to complete the last level, but is now completely useless in your current one, you can reset your upgrade purchases and start anew without losing anything you have earned. The weapons are very cool and do make a difference. They also contain funny names and comical descriptions. Weapons stats/bonuses are simple and easy to understand. Concisely, this is one of the most unique and entertaining experiences released over the last few years. If you like a challenge and like to laugh, pick this game up.

Didn’t think this could work, but it does and it is so much fun. It’s a strategy game with rabbids and mario characters, great graphics and awesome gameplay. Wouldn’t recommend for the younger crowd as it does require strategy and this isn’t your typical run and jump mario game.

Wow what a fun experience this game was. I would never have expected for Ubisoft to get a game so perfectly executed with the Mario franchise, much less in a strategy style of gameplay. This is probably the best 3rd party game for the Switch and I loved every minute of the 45 hours I've put into this game so far. Gameplay is well balanced, diverse and so much fun. The Mario characters fit the world, but gameplay is very different than what one would normally expect. Ubisoft did a great job here and I am very thankful for that. This game will allow younger players to be exposed to strategy style gameplay, but it will also allow seasoned veteran players to have so much fun playing an underrated strategy game with a Mario coat of paint to it. One of my favorite games on the Switch, well actually one of my favorite games this year without a doubt. Well worth the time for anyone seeking fun gameplay in a strategy style of game.

For those unaware of what type of game this is, it's really a simplified version of the really great game Xcom (I prefer Xcom because it is deeper) - simplified doesn't mean easier - set in the Mario world, adding Rabbids. It's super whimsical if you appreciate Mario and the Rabbids (which I do). It's a really nice change of pace to go to this from a serious game. The game play is turn-based (you move all of your players first, then the computer) - almost like some board games in terms of movement (x amount of spaces per characters). You get to choose from a roster of characters to play on your team - each with their own set of weapons and special abilities, so choosing your team requires strategy. You can upgrade your characters and their weapons and there are hidden things to find and others to unlock, so there's definite replayability - like challenges once you've beat a world. There's also multiplayer, which I haven't tried. I think young kids who can read will enjoy this (there's an easier setting) and as an adult, I loved it. Nice, clean fun. Though it wasn't made by Nintendo, it has all of the charm you'd expect.

This is a great game. I'm sure you could nitpick several minor issues here and there, but at the end of the day this game is a great time. Part of the fun comes from the loads of personality on display in both the characters, the worlds, and the scenarios. Never a fan of Rabbids before this game, I now understand their particular charms. The reverence with which the Mario properties are treated will also be a treat for any Nintendo fan. The battles require you to carefully plan your steps, but are rarely punishing in any extreme way. In between those, you're treated to a tour through a beautiful cartoon world with light puzzles and exploration. Just enough to compliment and cleanse your palette from the strategy that makes up the bulk of the experience. Most importantly, you'll always end your time with this game wearing a smile on your face, and for that it deserves 5 stars.

This is a fun and well challenging game for children,my daughter loves it I recommend it to the fullest.

This game is very fun and well done. Very different and interesting gameplay and a refreshing change of Mario. The game seems like more of a children's title but certainly has a considerable challenge to it. Very strategic but inviting for newcomers to turn based strategy games.

My friend urged me to get this game because it was really fun and addicting. It surprised me especially because I never played a Rabbids game, and this is neither the normal Rabbids or the normal Mario. More like SRPG.

I got this game when it went on sale for a few days for $16 and that was a steal. I’ve rented this game before and had fun so I decided to pick it up at my local Best Buy when there was a price cut. Mario + Kingdom Battle includes 4 worlds that give you plenty of game time and amazing sites. The overall game looks incredible and if you like RTS/turn based strategy games then you would enjoy this. It’s comical and a good game to pass by time.

Quite possibly one of the most out of nowhere releases of the year. This game is a great strategy game and will keep you playing for hours on end. Recommended to Switch owners looking for something different.

I picked this up as a Mario fan hoping for the best. Well I was surprised how much fun and addictive this game was. Could not put down! Strategy is a must in situations but great game play and funny story

Who would have known that the Mario and Rabbid universe would mix? I did not, that is for sure, but what this game brings to the table is a genre that neither franchises have approached before: turn-based X-COM like strategy. The game itself is very strategic and solid in its mechanics, and though it starts out easy, the difficulty does increase. The play time for this game at the minimum is 15 hours, but it is very likely you will play 25+ hours in this game. Beside the base game, their are secrets you can find, ranging from collectables to challenges to entire new levels. Overall, this game is definitely worth the $60. I would recommend it to a friend (if they like strategy games, that is).

One of the best $15 I've ever spent. I went into this game solely because of the Mario IP and knowing nothing else. This tactical turn-based rpg is worth so much more than $15. So much so that i would pay full price for the sequel if it weren't an ubisoft game, meaning it'll be super inexpensive shortly after release. Sequel came out in Nov/Dec, and I've already seen it for $30.

I thoroughly enjoy this game. The humor and strategy is spot on. Even though this game contains Mario and Rabidds I believe this game will be a little too complex for a younger child though.

It’s not everyday a game makes you think beyond the moment. As you progress is the game, it becomes less and less forgiving, but it prolongs the fun and makes success even more satisfying.

If you like Xcom and want something a bit cleaner & with Mario characters, this is a perfect solution. The price has been slowly going down so it's a great edition to your Switch library

Like many of the other reviews here, I thought the same thing: Mario and....Rabbids? Seriously? This game is going to be awful! Boy was I wrong. The comparisons to X-Com are apt. This is turn based, your team vs 'the mission.' Sometimes you just need to defeat all the enemies. Sometimes it's defeat 4. Sometimes it's escort (yes, escort missions...not as bad as you think). Sometimes just defeat the boss. If you are having trouble on a battle, you can launch it in easy mode, which lasts just the duration of that fight (it heals you to full and gives you an additional 50% HP). This one is a must-have....and I can't believe I just typed that.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this game going in fearing coming from the xcom series that it would be too simple. To be honest the game does have simple mechanics to it, but makes up for it in creativity in how you handle fights. The humor of the game is great for all ages with some sublte and not-so-subtle adult humor. My biggest quam with this game comes in the form of limitations in party members; you are unable to have Luigi and Princess Peach in the party at the same time and the same goes for Yoshi when it is unlocked later and you are forced to have at least one rabbid in the party. Great game and got about 30 hours of fun out of it.
