The game isn’t cruel so most of the time, the ally characters and abilities that are required for an obstacle is usually nearby, so you don’t have to waste time backtracking to find what you need. You travel through a number of world maps in a semi-linear fashion just like in older Mario games, collect star coins which can grant extra lives after a reaching certain amount, find puzzle pieces to complete special artwork, and get through the obstacles that have been set up in each stage.Īs mentioned before, the obstacles are usually focused on a particular character ability and isn’t entirely difficult but can require a little bit of outside-the-box thinking. Kirby Star Allies is a rather straightforward game. While you can always regain the lost character, it can be a bit troublesome if another player is adamant about sticking to a particular character. Moreover, certain stages will have specific obstacles that will require specific abilities and if it cannot be solved by Kirby absorbing said ability, there is no choice but to swap an ally character with what is needed at the time.
The downside to this is that the one playing Kirby will get to dictate what ally characters will be available to play as. Most of us don’t get to play with friends that often so you can still play alone and whenever your friends are around to play with, they can just freely hop into the game so you don’t have to necessarily play it with friends just because you started it with them. What makes this mechanic great is the fact that it gives Kirby Star Allies some versatility as to how gamers would like to play through the game. With a limit of up to 3 allies, you can turn it into a 4-player multiplayer adventure. What makes this ability more interesting is that you can have friends join in anytime when you have an ally on-board. If the heart hits, it will instantly become an A.I.-controller ally that help you in your adventure. What’s new this time is the ability to turn enemies into allies by throwing a heart at them using the ‘X’ button.
This is classic Kirby as it is an ability that it had from the very first entry of the series. For example, if Kirby absorbs a Blade Knight, it will gain the ability to wield a sword and attack enemies with it. Kirby can absorb enemies in order to steal their abilities, which grants it a unique attack move. If you’re not familiar with it, you can consider the gameplay somewhat similar to Mario with a major exception to how you deal with enemies.
