Overview
Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a chess-like strategy game where you control cartoon rabbits (the Rabbids) and Nintendo characters in turn-based battles with fantastical weapons through four different worlds.
It looks and sounds like a game for youngsters, but beneath this bright saccharine exterior is a deep strategy game not a million miles away from games like XCOM. You control Mario as he teams up with 4 “rabbid” rabbit heroes as they battle enemies. Each of these has their own stats, moves and techniques that are all effective in different sorts of battles.

This game is enjoyed by 8+ year-olds as it's a good match for their ability and maturity. Younger children enjoy the Nintendo characters and battles here as its turn-based play removes the need for quick reactions. It also means they can go and get help from parents when they need it.

There is no difficulty setting obviously presented, but before each battle when you are shown the battle map there is an option to press the Y button for "Extra Health", which completely heals your heroes and gives them 50% health for that battle. The serves as the Easy Mode, and needs to be selected for each level you would like to use it. Note that it can only be activated when the Battle Map is first shown, before any other actions are taken.
