It’s Built from the Ground Up for Co-Op
4 Reasons Why Kirby Star Allies Isn’t Just Another Kirby Game
The Switch is a console that’s been built from the ground up with couch co-op in mind with titles like Mario Kart 8 and 1, 2 Switch just affirming its practicability. Kirby Star Allies is the next game to fully take advantage of the Switch’s great multiplayer facilities. It’s perfect for co-op as most of the game will have Kirby teaming up with three other allies in each level (but they’ll be CPU-controlled until someone else joins in). The system works off a simple drop in and out co-op system, so as soon as you manage to recruit one enemy ally to your team someone can quickly jump in and play as them.
This is slightly different from other entries in the franchise as most have you just playing as another different colored Kirby, but Star Allies will give you the chance to play as the enemy. Of course, you’ll still have access to the same recruiting mechanics as Kirby, so if you want to switch things up and play as someone different, you’ll be able to do so. The lack of Kirby’s signature flying and power sucking abilities also makes for some really interesting gameplay switch-ups that make this stand out as one of the best Kirby multiplayer experiences to date. Better yet, it all feels right at home on the Switch.
