I love killing a god of hate and destruction with the unstoppable power of love and friendship.

Fine game, but the main story is really short, and I will not accept the content added post-release. I get that it made the game better, but it gave Nintendo the green light to just not finish games, as we see manifested in the Switch's Mario sports titles (and Super Mario Party).

Kirby Star Allies is a really divisive title. Many fans of the series consider it a stepdown compared to other previous titles of the franchise. Other see it as a rehash of classsic ideas that are not combined together in the most effective way.

And at launch this may have been the case. However, I consider Star Allies to be my favorite Kirby game. And why is that?
Because it encapsulates everything I love about this franchise. It's a proper celebration of the over 20 years of iconicity of the squishy pink boy, brought together by a collection of playable heroes and villains of across the series, a series of great side modes that adds a lot of spice to the difficulty, and a story that opens some of the most fadcinating lore speculations I have seen in a Nintendo title (also yes Kirby Lore goes hard...)

Maybe not the best start if you are new to the franchise, but.... it's really worth cheking out if you're a fan of the series.

Really fun. Almost got all of the Guest Star Allies finished.

Ist ein spaßiges Spiel. Sehr einfach und sehr kurz. Wenn man schon die alten Kirby davor gespielt hat gibt's hier gar nichts Neues. Man merkt, dass es ein Spiel für jüngere Kinder ist. Macht aber mit Freunden die nicht so gut sind bestimmt Spaß. Das Spiel und die Menüs sehen aber wunderschön aus. Hab den Story Mode 100% gespielt, auf die anderen Sachen hatte ich keine Lust.
