An Overdramatic Retrospective Of One Of My LEAST Favorite Nintendo Switch Games- Kirby Star Allies

Kirby is one of my FAVORITE series. Kirby Return To Dreamland, Triple Deluxe, and especially Planet Robobot are excellent. Many thought Kirby's first adventure on the Nintendo Switch was nothing more than another game in the style of Return To Dreamland. Unlike New Super Mario Bros, all of those games managed to be creative even with a similar formula. There's a lot of love for Star Allies, and I recommend going into this retrospective with an open mind. Because I do love the series. What resulted from the feedback of Star Allies was something GRAND.

2018 really was the “How long do we have to wait until Smash?” year

As a Kirby fanboy, I had a love-hate relationship with this game. On the one hand, the friends mechanic is really innovative & the 3 other modes are really fun to play. But on the other, the games is way too short, not to mention easy. Plus, I found some of the atmosphere during the first half was really draining and basic.

I don’t think the feedback from Star allies resulted in Forgotten land directly. The series has slowly been dipping their toes into 3D overtime- and the directors said they wanted Star allies to be one last celebration before moving on to the next phase. They were definitely planning 3D Kirby for a long time.

In my opinion, I don’t think there are any bad Kirby games, so the worst of the series is still a good time. But my main complaint with Star Allies was that it was extremely handholdy for base game at least. The Another Dimension mode was wanted I wanted the whole game to be like.

Why are you overreacting about a game for little kids

[@ExplodingDuckBrigade]

It honestly feels like you can’t take criticism well from commenters with your responses.

I personally consider 2016 to be the real "dark age of Nintendo", other than Robobot, kinda Pokken and a couple of smaller games few played like Rythm Heaven and Picross 3D, most of the games were either poorly revieved or controversial, I mean in that same year Star Fox Zero, Fates, Color Splash, Star Rush and Federation Force came out, plus NIntendo were censoring games like crazy and they began to take down fan games more often than before. My biggest issue is that the negative stuff was too present with barely anything positive to balance it out like in other weak Nintendo years 2015, 2012, 2018 or 2020, it's probably the only year in forever where no Nintendo game was nominated for any major "Game of the Year" award for example.

This game is amazing, BRILLIANT if you’re a big Kirby fan and get all the references, so much love to the fans a true anniversary game

[@Dante_Sparda_DMC]

Really? A lot of people seem to love it and most fans I see say that Squeak Squad may be the worst.

[@VictoryReviews]

"Just let people be happy" is the worst response to legitimate criticism 😂

[@NocturneFexy]

After playing a bit of Forgotten Land, the difference between that game and Star Allies is like night and day.

I haven't seen the video but let me tell you something. For people who aren't fans of the franchise this game is really bad, but for the fans... It's really special. This game gave A LOT of lore, it's basically the most important game of the franchise lore wise. It also make the return of lots of fan favourite character and had lot of easter eggs and cameos from all over the series, just look at all the puzzle pictures and the super secret 100% reward, and most of all the final secret level... It's a celebration, a love letter to the fans and the franchise itself, but... Why?

[@Joswano]

To be fair, it was made with multiplayer in mind. I once played with two other people and it was the best multiplayer experience I’ve ever had with Kirby. Return to Dreamland is fun in single player, but it always feels like the other people lag behind or I have to try to catch up with them, or it never feels like a second player is even necessary.

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

Yet more people shitting on star allies and calling it the worst kirby game when there is literally a slide puzzle game with 1 level.

[@gamebrains5384]

Now I’m going to just say this was my first ever Kirby game I ever played and I honestly love it so much I hope you guys can respect that

[@stoopidmansidiot]

that ending has to be one of the greatest redemption arcs that I have ever witnessed

[@kimberlyfrye8116]

My first Kirby game, it was the perfect start for me

[@vicctretamaj7289]

There’s a lot to say here…as Star Allies is a game I have so many mixed feelings towards. This bouta be a long ass comment…

[@ColdComrade]

Star allies is my favorite Kirby game because I played it start to finish with my wife and daughter. We discovered many secrets together and it was a great time.

[@ChaosNew]

I loved the gameplay and fan service of star allies, so much to do and a lot of nice secrets topped history
