\"\"<\/a>A few weeks ago, Nintendo surprised everyone with a new free-to-start online Switch game, and it was a Kirby title as well!\u00a0 Kirby is one of my number one favorite Nintendo franchises, so of course I\u2019m going to download it and review it!\u00a0 Super Kirby Clash is an enhanced version of Team Kirby Clash, which was originally a mini-game found in one of the 3DS Kirby titles, and later got a separate Deluxe version you could download on the 3DS eShop.\u00a0 If you combined Kirby boss battles with RPG aspects, this is basically what you get.\u00a0 For some reason, it also makes me think of Kirby meets Monster Hunter.<\/p>\n

You start the game off in a hub village.\u00a0 You can buy weapons, armor, and items, harvest Gem Apples (more on that later), summon others to help you play, and scan amiibo figures for items.\u00a0 There is also a quest board where you\u2019ll take on missions, which end up being boss battles.\u00a0 You choose from one of four modified Kirby abilities.\u00a0 There is the balanced sword fighter, the strong but slow hammer wielder, and two types of mages.\u00a0 One focuses on healing and the other has long distance attacks that can freeze the enemy.\u00a0 After defeating a boss, you\u2019ll earn experience points and items you can use to buy more stuff at the shop.\u00a0 Even if you don\u2019t defeat an enemy or if the time runs out, you\u2019ll still earn experience points, just not near as much.\u00a0 Try to use teamwork to revive any fallen allies, and pick up special stones that can be used to hit the bosses hard if all four players pick up a piece.<\/p>\n

The problem with this game is that since it\u2019s free-to-play, they slow down game progression in other ways, forcing you to use real money to buy items to keep things going.\u00a0 You use Gem Apples in the game to buy stuff.\u00a0 Now, I haven\u2019t had a problem with running out yet.\u00a0 In fact, Nintendo has given lots of opportunities to get Gem Apples in other ways.\u00a0 But they set the enemy levels so high that you have to grind and grind or spend real money to keep going.\u00a0 Also, each time you fight, it costs a certain amount of Vigor, and when that\u2019s depleted, you have to wait for it to fill up or use Gem Apples.\u00a0 You get two Vigor meters: one for the Story mode and one for online Party mode.\u00a0 Although the online modes are so laggy it\u2019s hardly playable.\u00a0 Nintendo really needs to get their act together regarding this online stuff.\u00a0 If they could just ditch the free-to-play aspects and allow you to just buy the game and ditch all the slow progression and nickel and diming, I might just buy this game.\u00a0 But the way it is now, I lost interest very quickly.\u00a0 Which is saying a lot, since Kirby is one of my favorite Nintendo series.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Super Kirby Clash is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You can smack enemies with weapons and magic, and you can get flattened or fall over when defeated.\u00a0 Kirby games are normally very safe for kids, but parental supervision is recommended for this one because of the in-game purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
