"Kirby: Star Allies is an all-together pleasant game. Which is especially needed, both in the Nintendo Switch library and in the current climate of 2018. We need something simple and enjoyable that brings a smile to our faces. We need a game we can play with anyone we know, without worrying about possible barriers. It is a delight, and Switch owners will definitely appreciate adventuring with their buddy again." ... Read full review

"Kirby Star Allies is a fun little game with a lot of interesting characters, amazing new powers, great gameplay and an old-new mechanic that keeps players guessing and makes it a fun party game. Those of you who want a challenge might want to look elsewhere but those of you who are looking for fun should definitely check this game out." ... Read full review

"While it lacks the substance to properly satisfy longtime Kirby fans, Star Allies does at least seem genuinely earnest in its underlying belief in the power of friendship. The game is frequently chaotic and a touch under-baked, but it’s hard to be too upset at a game where you can break down long-standing bonds of enmity and heal foes with a kiss. Even if it’s on the brief and simple side, Star Allies demonstrates the polish and personality you’ve come to expect from the series. " ... Read full review

It can be played and enjoyed by people of all ages. The graphics are great, and the gameplay is what you would expect from a Kirby game, and is fun when playing with a friend(s). However, the difficulty is a bit too simplistic. There should be a harder difficulty for people who desire a challenge and replay value. And Nintendo, reduce the price of this game! It should not be 60$ USD. If this game was a little less expensive, I would gladly bump up my score.… Expand

The AI in this game is literally braindead. It just stays there and looks at you while you die and does not use the healing abilities at all.The AI in this game is literally braindead. It just stays there and looks at you while you die and does not use the healing abilities at all. At most bosses the team of 3 AIs stays in a corner and watches you fight the boss alone.
This makes the endgame levels practically impossible to do alone, you need a couple of friends that are capable of pressing literally a single button when it counts. The AI can't even do that.

For the later smelter dificulties and the heroes in another dimension, it becomes imbecilic and frustrating so much you'd probably smash your console, when you're about to die and you look at that Chef AI smiling in your face NOT using the healing ability.

ZERO score.… Expand
