Ubisoft remembered Rayman! Now just make a new Rayman game too!

I loved Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle, but haven't played Sparks of Hope yet. Anyone here played it? What do you think about it?

There is something about Rayman being part of Rabbids and not the other way around, that just rubs me the wrong way.

Agreed, but at this point, I am just happy that he is still alive, and not left for dead in some unknown, forgotten corner of Ubisoft games archives.

I’ve played through Kingdom Battle +DLC and loved it and just recently finished Sparks of Hope. I’m waiting for this DLC to drop before playing through all the DLCs.

I’ve really enjoyed both games! Making the move distance truly circular rather than block-limited was a cool change and I love Edge as a new playable character. I also like how they changed the worlds from linear to more open and the new battles where you have to destroy the eyes or complete other objectives is nice to break up the whole ‘kill dudes or get to a location’ feel from Kingdom Battle. Having world-based puzzles as well helped to break this up even further. The addition of equippable Sparks also really helped to increase team versatility (although I completed the whole game with Edge, Luigi and Rabbid Peach).

All in all it’s a very well-crafted turn based strategy game that I’d recommend to anyone who likes strategy games - Mario/Rayman fans or not.

Thanks for the feedback! It sounds even better than than Kingdom Battle!

I know i should be more hyped for Rayman’s return as a playable character for like the first time in a decade but honestly I am more excited for the return of the phantom.

He was the best character in the first game easily

@TORFdot0, Phantom is the best character in _any_ Mario game IMHO :blobaww: @slimerancher

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

@hook@toot.si he is a national treasure

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uhh... I actually didn't like phantom much. 🫣 @hook@toot.si
