Even if you can’t rustle up a group of four, it’s still fun to play with a friend or two, and the computer-controller characters do a decent job of sticking close by and taking out enemies.

That’s right, foes are fair game this time around, which means you can hang out with a bunch of Waddle Dee or Waddle Doo if you’d like.Īs you might have guessed by now, these friends can be either player or computer controlled, making it a good showcase for the Switch’s Joy-Con controllers.

Similar to other titles, Kirby has some friends (or foes) that he can recruit for his journey, which means you won’t be travelling alone that long. The same, easygoing style of platforming is on full display as well, and there are enough powerups and abilities to keep you happy for hours on end. Like most of Kirby games from the past decade or so, Star Allies sticks to the tried-and-true 2.5D perspective that you’ve come to know and love. Sure, some of those newer titles have placed more of an emphasis on packed-in mini games, but the series’ core gameplay has received a fresh coat of paint for the last few years, even if it’s gone largely unnoticed by the gaming population as a whole. While it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, I’m hoping Kirby Star Allies will buck that trend, and with the Switch’s massive success over the past few years, it has a fighting chance if there ever was one. It was only after a quick Google search that I discovered that, believe it or not, there’s been a new Kirby game released every year, going all the way back to 2014.
