Super Kirby Clash Has Been Downloaded More Than Four Million Times

It would be awesome if this game got future updates. More bosses, new weapons, something to spend that 2000 gem apples a day on. There's a ton of bosses they could reuse from Kirby Star Allies, and they could even give the Online Co-Op only missions a Single Player mode.

I ain't getting this for the sheer fact that it's free-to-start. I'm allergic to those kinds of games.

....How is this like Monster Hunter? WTF? lol

Pass. I would consider a physical release without the F2P rubbish though.

@Joeynator3000 You, either alone or with a squad of friends, choose your gear then head off into a battle with a large boss. Upon beating the boss, you obtain useful loot. Rinse and repeat this process.

That can describe either Monster Hunter or Super Kirby Clash. I got Monster Hunter vibes immediately when I checked this game out.

@Silly_G I mean if you spend 40$ in game you never have to spend a single dime, nor deal with the F2P mechanics, ever again. It's essentially either buy the full game, or spend nothing and just play it a few times a day

I always try to give free to play a go as its free and some (admittedly few) turn out to be quite good. Liked this on 3ds and enjoying on switch with my son now.

@patbacknitro18 : That's a bit of an ask though for a digital-only game that can only be played on a single console. I wouldn't mind paying, say, AU$60 for a physical release though.

I have a Switch Lite and being a secondary console essentially prevents me from playing any digital games or certain physical games if any titles have DLC (even free DLC, stupidly enough).

I am more grateful than ever for having a mostly physical collection, and if anything, I am even less inclined to buy any DLC going forward as well.

I had previously coughed up the goods for Pokémon Picross on 3DS though (I was weak!), and the game ended up costing me about AU$40 for about the same amount of content as the regular Picross games, which were only $6.50 to $7.50 in comparison). After that and Pokémon Shuffle, I have sworn off F2P games. It's a toxic business model, even on the rare occasion that the "full version" can essentially be unlocked by reaching a purchase cap.

@Silly_G Well thats the thing with F2P games, you just gotta have enough self control not to fork over for microtransactions. Unless they offer the full game at a certain pay goal, it's not worth forking over the money. That being said though, it would be nice to see a $40 physical release. I don't think the single player alone has enough content worth $40, the price of a 3ds game kirby game, but with its multiplayer missions i'd argue its definitley worth $40, $60 is way too much though.

I am strongly against free to play games but I am a big Kirby fan and enjoyed the 3DS version. So I did pay for this game but I essentially paid 40 bucks for the full game and got a lot of hours out of it. TBH it was worth it in the end because I put a lot of time into it and even reached level 100.
I'm hoping any money I paid also helps HAL work on the next biggest Kirby title without the pay to play nonsense BUT I have no clue.

I never had to pay more than 40 for any additional stuff. You either buy the game or don't so it offends me less than other free to play stuff but it's not a model I support. Just out of principle. HAL knows how to do it without abusing their players but so many companies abuse it and capitalize on kids hoping and asking to purchase more and more loot or content, or gear, or the ability to play faster, etc. Not something to encourage.

@patbacknitro18 They do. There is an option to play the online only mission on one console. You still have to be connect to the internet but you would be playing solo or with any friends on the same console.

@Shade_Koopa really? I havent seen an option to do them solo online. I know if you try playing a match and no one joins itll let you play solo, but as far as a direct option to play solo in online only missions have yet to see it.

F2P or F2S games as Nintendo calls it are BS in design.

They are designed from the ground up to draw in players and give them rewards and make them have "fun" only to take all that away and gradually make it less rewarding and less fun so players are tricked into buying microtransactions to get that "fun" feeling again......and again.....and again.

It's downright disgusting how they manipulate us and even if you don't buy anything you are basically torturing yourself by playing a game that is designed to frustrate you and punishes you for actually playing it.

Do yourself a favour and simply buy a complete game and play it, no in-game purchases just pure old fashioned fun.

Tag line should have been "How do you like gem apples"

@noutBr Sounds like you’re describing drugs

@patbacknitro18 When you go to the quest board, you go to party quest > single system. These are online mission that will allow you play them by yourself or with couch co-op.

I've had hours of fun out of games like plants vs zombies 2, Pokémon go, dauntless and streetpass without spending a penny on any of then.

@Yosher Not every F2P game is bad. Much rather have a bad Free download than a bad game I paid 39.99 for.

The game itself is fun, but really only worth playing with friends. Along with Dauntless, i think monster slaying games are just not a long investment for me.

The best thing about this game is it's a hell of a lot better if you don't put any money into it. More challenging and it lasts longer. You end up with a possible 29 gem apples a day just from the tree, bell and shop.

I’m pretty sure the music video is enough explanation as to why I haven’t downloaded this game yet.

@Dakotastomp I know not every F2P game is bad, but it's still a practice I would rather not support because it really takes away from an otherwise fun experience for me.

doesn't this game have micro-transactions

@Yosher Suit yourself.
