Knowing when to taunt melee-heavy brutes to give your sniper some breathing space, or to go straight for the enemy healers before taking down a boss, is crucial to victory.ĭon’t worry, though. Mario + Rabbids’ difficulty spikes dramatically as it goes on, with new enemy types constantly being added. These decisions play a large part in whether you’ll succeed in the game’s skirmishes. A common tactic would be to send, say, Rabbid Luigi ahead, acting as a springboard for Mario’s eventual death-from-above attack. While most of the heroes utilize jumping to get vertical, Mario is able to butt-stomp enemies when he lands on them for extra damage. The team jump maneuver allows you to launch a unit across the map with the help of a squadmate, reaching adorably colorful sniper towers with ease.
Mobility is king in this game, and units combine forces in fantastic ways. The combat in Mario + Rabbids is tremendously strategicĪnd yet, despite the mask of simplicity, the combat in Mario + Rabbids is tremendously strategic. Simple presentation and a clean UI help to demonstrate concepts like cover, chance to hit and status effects. However, that kid-friendly tone makes Mario + Rabbids the best introduction to the squad-based tactics genre I’ve ever seen. There are plenty of attempts at humor, but most of it seems aimed at kids under 10, rather than trying to reach for more challenging gags that adults would also appreciate. The story is mostly delivered through the dialogue of a friendly AI and various familiar faces you come across, and it’s cute but nothing special. While most of the Rabbids are unhinged and troublesome, those dressed as heroes join forces with Mario to stop the chaos from spreading. The end result? A Rabbid dressed like Luigi, one dressed like Donkey Kong, one combined with a piranha plant, and so on and so forth. One of the Rabbids dons the helmet and begins merging everything it lays its eyes on. Meanwhile, time-traveling Rabbids in a washing machine (because sure) stumble across the helmet before finding themselves in the Mushroom Kingdom.
In an early example, a lamp and a flower combine to make, er, a lampflower? A mysterious programmer has designed a VR helmet capable of merging two objects together. The set-up for Mario + Rabbids is weirdly complex.
