Review Kirby Star Allies (Switch)
Allies assemble!
The core Kirby series has seen something of a revival in recent years, after a long period of interesting yet different spin-off titles taking the main spotlight. Starting off with Kirby’s Return To Dreamland, this new era of mainline Kirby games has taken on a character of its own; almost standing apart as a distinct sub series...

It probably won't come as an enormous surprise to you that Kirby Star Allies supports amiibo. It wouldn't really be a Nintendo game without them! But, as is usually the case with amiibo support, it's never really clear what happens when you tap them. It's also unclear which amiibo you can use. Fear not though, because that's why...

"We thought of it as laying the groundwork for future works"
Here at Nintendo Life, we love a bit of Kirby. We were charmed by the pink puffball's latest foray on Switch in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and while we were less enamoured with 2018's Kirby Star Allies, it turns out that the developers at HAL Laboratory see the two games as much closer...

I am very excited for this game, especially considering all of the old features like mixed abilities and the helpers returning.
I've played the first couple of levels of this game and so far it's pretty good.
This game is best played with more players
Love the gameplay with 4 at the same time!
@RXShorty It is!
This seems like one of those games where if Blockbuster was still a thing, it would be the one you'd have to rent because all copies of Zelda and Mario were out.
This game is frickin' gorgeous my dudes
The co-op gameplay is tons of fun! And even if you play it solo, it still is a great time!
Dark Meta Knight is pretty broken
only one thing wrong with this game and the length of my review will reflect it, 3 words..."TOO DANG SHORT !!!", I paid $50 for this ??? I 97% beat the game in one day (less than 8 hours), this is a $30 game at most, period
Kirby Star Allies looks and sounds equally beautiful - the funky piano tracks alone make it worth playing. It may be short, but I might have to dig into some of the post-game stuff to extend my time with the game.
I can't wait for Magolor!!!
a little boring and too easy. but overall it is a nice game
Such an underrated gem. The lore has never gone deeper and more awesome and the story mode felt truly epic, if a bit short. Quality over quantity, though.
The game is short but very fun to play I really want a sequel
