If the “Trial Games” available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers are not always very interesting, there is reason to rejoice for the month of July 2022. It is indeed probably the last return of a great Tactical genre name yet mocked in its early days that subscribers will be able to get at no additional cost. But beware: the offer is very short, grab it quickly!
Attention : The game featured in this item is only available for the period July 7-12, 2022. This is just a trial and will be removed from your library after this period (unless you purchase the game in the meantime). In addition, only Nintendo Switch Online subscribers have access to this offer.
Mario is back… With the Rabbids!
Many players missed the excellent Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle when it was released on August 29, 2017. so surprising that this between Nintendo and Ubisoft will however have been widely appreciated by those who will have given it a chance. Combining the greatest heroes of the Mario universe with the goofy Rabbids, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle brings back some of the greatest games in the “Tactical” genre in Mario style.
Rather very well thought out and intelligent, it is a strategy game where players evolve on a field taking the appearance of a large grid. If the base this opus does not offer a multiplayer mode, it is however possible to unlock it by advancing alone in the campaign. So, later a friend can join you and also control a squad and participate in the campaign while you play your own little squad!
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is really an interesting and enjoyable crossover if you like the genre. Some even compare it to other giants of the “Tactical” genre, XCOM for example, to name but one. Of course, it has its small specificities and even certain faults that must be recognized, but it fully deserves to ignore the rather unexciting presence of the Rabbids at first glance. Especially since it is “free”, so good… Nothing is lost no matter what!
Moreover, if you ever come to appreciate this title without necessarily wanting to invest in a game dating from 2017, know that a second opus is already in preparation and is even very close to being deployed. This is Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope which was announced during E3 in July 2021 and whose release date is scheduled for… October 20, 2022!
