Kirby is back, and he has brought colored friends with him in a brand new game called Super Kirby Clash. In an unexpected turn during Nintendo Direct the game was announced for the Nintendo Switch and even more surprising it is free-to-start. Although details to what that means are not released what fans do know is that the game has over 100 quests for you to complete with up to four friends.
In true Nintendo Switch fashion, the game allows up to four players to join each taking on a specific role in the party. Players fight bosses from the entire franchise of Kirby while still taking time to craft weapons, spend materials, and buy new gear. There are some extra options for local multiplayer if everyone wishes to use a Joy-Con or you could simply play with others online.
It has been a while since Kirby got a new game and with so many other fantastic Nintendo titles returning it only seems natural that Kirby joins the fun. The game is free and only takes up 1.1 GB on your Nintendo Switch once downloaded. It seems like a more casual take on the franchise, but if past bosses are any sign, the battle will not be easy.
The characters break down into Sword Hero, Hammer Lord, Beam Mage, and Doctor Healmore. It follows a very familiar team-building concept from RPG franchises with a damage-dealing character paired with ranged damage and healing support. Many are considering the Hammer Lord will probably serve as the bulkiest of the heroes as you puff your way through the battlefield.
Its easy and natural couch co-op functionality will make it an instant classic to any party game collection. The Nintendo Switch was advertised and built on the concept of taking your favorite game with you and sharing them with your closest friends.
This game will be compatible with amiibo figures and accessories each unlocking extra fragments that can be used to craft new gear. Kirby is always up for a fight, but it is important to make sure that the whole team has the equipment they will need for the tough battles ahead.
Any fan of the Kirby series will recognize the enemies and bring back thoughts of adventures past. It is exciting to have an opportunity to explore the world of Kirby without paying the extra money, especially with such heavy priced gamed on the horizon.
You can find Super Kirby Clash on the Nintendo eShop for free. Download it and give it a try but don’t forget to bring a few friends on this new adventure.
