In 2017, Ubisoft’s “Crazy Rabbit” series collaborated with Nintendo’s “Mario” series as a selling point, and launched “Mario + Crazy Rabbit Kingdom Battle” based on the war chess game. In addition to the characters of the two companies, many funny and eccentric humor elements are also added to the game. Players can control the characters of the Mario series and crazy rabbits in various costumes. “Mario + Crazy Rabbit Kingdom Battle” has successively launched Chinese culture updates and DLC, which has attracted the pursuit and love of many players. At the E3 game last June, the sequel “Mario + Crazy Rabbit Hope Star” was officially released, and it was officially released on October 20.
continueNonsensical continuation of the funny and funny plot
Although Ubisoft stated that the game “Mario + Crazy Rabbit Hope Star” is a sequel to the previous episode “Kingdom of War”, but the plot has no connection with the previous episode, and players do not need to replay the previous episode to understand the plot. In “Star of Hope”, players need to travel the whole galaxy to save the cute special creature “Xingke”, so they need to fight against the evil alien invader “Curse Sha”, who not only invades the planet but also controls some creatures. to fight against the player. There are different environments and enemies on different planets in the galaxy, and of course new companions will join along the way. There will be many fake dramatic or funny scenes in the game, although not necessarily humorous but at least it will make players smile.
Removed weapon attribute level system bonus
This time, the levels found in “Star of Hope” will provide levels, and you can know the strength of the level. This time, instead of changing weapons like in Kingdom Wars, you can change damage and functions, but this time a new level system has been added. As long as you fight through the game, you can increase your life and attack. If you want a smoother game process, you can only choose through battle. The different weapons found in the game are just an appearance. Although there is no effect, the appearance is still quite interesting. You can buy them in the shop or go through certain levels.
Continue with the character skill tree to assign skills at will
Although the game takes away the weapon performance system, it retains the functionality of the character’s skill tree as in Kingdom Battle. This time, instead, the skill core is used as a bonus, which can be obtained through treasure chests, upgrades, or side quests. However, this time the skill tree can add a “refund” option, players can recombine different skills in some cases, which helps to pass the level and complete the task. The skill tree is mainly divided into health, movement, weapons and special skills. The last item is “?”, which is waiting for players to discover, and the method of obtaining it is to defeat hidden bosses on each planet.
Flexible use of the location to add throwing and jumping functions
This time, the level design of “Star of Hope” has more changes than the design of “Kingdom Battle”, and this time, in addition to the difference in terrain height, there are also high platforms or terrain traps, which will prove how the player is to progress to the next round. Although the location changes more and the location becomes bigger, “Star of Hope” has added two functions “throw” and “jump” The first is the throw function. It is necessary to “throw” some enemies or levels to win, which first appears in the game It’s a bomber. When the player uses “Dash” to hit him, he can use “Pickup”, and finally he can ” Throw” to deal damage to the enemy in its own direction.
The “Jump” has a similar function in “Kingdom Battle” before, but this time by “jumping”, there is a short-term stay in the air, and players can use this function to reach different places. For example, if there is a gap between the fields, you can use the “jump” to pass, or use the “jump” to the high ground to effectively use the geographical position to attack. In addition, players can use “jumping” to move further, and it is easier to avoid enemy attacks or close the distance of the enemy. Some controllable characters can also use the “jump” function to get different attack styles, allowing the game to think more flexibly about the next move.
Change freely with cute star skills
“Hope Star” does not have the unique weapon performance like “Kingdom Battle”, but the skill function has become the focus of “Hope Star”. The cute special creature “Xingke” that appeared this time has different abilities and characteristics, such as some attribute damage resistance and special skills. Each “Star Ke” is very useful, and as the plot will have more “Star Ke”, each place will provide a more powerful hidden “Star Ke”. Each “Xingke” can be fed stardust to upgrade. After upgrading, all abilities will be improved. However, because there are too many “Xingke”, the upgrade should be based on the most convenient one.
Keep the puzzle elements and discover the hidden elements of the planet
Of course, “Star of Hope” is not just a simple battle, but it also adds a lot of puzzle-solving elements. For example, the robotic assistant “Beep-O” can smash stones or find hidden ways this time The scene of the game has many different locations for players to discover. If you’re not careful, you might spot hidden treasure chests and even roads. In addition, there are some scenes for players to solve the mystery It may be necessary to open a treasure chest or meet conditions to solve it. The game also keeps the gold coin challenge from “Kingdom Battle”, if players have trouble fighting, they may try these interesting puzzle elements.
Summary: a brain-burning spicy and not-so-spicy strategy game
Readers in the review above may wonder if the game will be too difficult or complicated. When I was writing the review, I chose to play the game on hard difficulty in order to challenge the game. When I was playing the second planet, I found that the difficulty was rising, and some levels were still impossible to pass even on normal difficulty. Of course, you can choose to switch to easy difficulty, or choose to fight later. Later, I found that the settings in the game are very friendly. In addition to the difficulty adjustment, you can also adjust the enemy’s damage, restore health, etc., and even have an “invincible” mode function. You can also restart the game at any time during the battle, or you can escape at no cost, which is also a very friendly function for new players or veterans.
Conclusion “Mario + Crazy Rabbit Hope Star” can give players an exciting and interesting experience. It’s a very good turn-based strategy game in the near future. When you experience the game in the early stage, you will slowly understand the rules of the game. When you complete the first one The planet is the test if the player can understand the elements. Due to the combination of “Xingke” and skill classification, the selected characters will greatly affect the combat experience of the game. Although the level system is provided this time, the level gap is very large, otherwise you can try again or lower the difficulty. The game has more degrees of freedom under different “stars”, and the interesting puzzle solving elements in the game are also loved. Sometimes there is a feeling of recognition in the plot area and even the background concert, I don’t know if it is a “salutation” to different games and videos. The richness of the game can definitely satisfy the players, and the humorous part is worth adding points.
