Luigi, for instance, is the only hero who can do two team jumps in one turn, and he can unlock an ability to earn an additional dash attack with each one. There are dash attacks, team jumps, Spark powers, and good old-fashioned weapon attacks, and every character works a little differently – especially after a few upgrades. Wringing out every bit of potential from each of your three characters every turn takes practice and an understanding of Sparks of Hope’s rules. There’s also an extremely handy line that shows you the movement range of your other characters, which is invaluable for figuring out where to position them for jumps as you switch between teammates.
Wasting precious time here can be the difference between landing safely or falling off a cliff and taking damage, so you have to be careful about where you plan to land. That move now adds a clever touch of real-time movement to this turn-based game: heroes will hover for a few seconds, during which you have to steer them. You’re still confined to a radius based on each character’s movement stats, but there are plenty of ways to chain actions together to extend it – most notably the team jump, where one character can bounce off of another to cross the usually small maps in one turn. I’m sure there’s still a grid underneath the maps somewhere, but Sparks of Hope does a fantastic job of hiding it and making movement in tactical battles look and feel smooth as Mario and friends run around. To restore order, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi must team up with a whole new crew: four Rabbids heroes! Together, they will battle with weapons through four worlds filled with combat, puzzles, and unpredictable enemies.Īnd for those awaiting the sequel, you can check out the latest trailer from last month’s mini Nintendo Direct below and get even more details in our coverage right here.Battles themselves feel different right away. The Mushroom Kingdom has been torn apart by a mysterious vortex, transporting the chaotic Rabbids into this once-peaceful land. Here’s a quick rundown of the Ubisoft x Nintendo collaboration for those unfmniliar: This is the full version of the game and you can roll your progress and save data from the free trial period over to a purchased copy of the game thereafter (it is scheduled to drop to $10 on the eShop at the same time as the freebie goes live). You’ll need to be a Nintendo Switch Online member (12-month subscriptions still marked down to $18.50 on Amazon) to gain access to the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle freebie, but providing you are, the trial period will kick off later today at 10:00 a.m.
