Play OverviewPlay Overview

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle (2017) 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 its own stats, moves and techniques that are all effective in different sorts of battles.

Our examiner, Jo Robertson, first checked Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle 3 years ago. It was re-examined by Andy Robertson and updated 5 months ago.

Rated PEGI 7 for non-realistic violence in a child-friendly setting or context. In turn-based battles, players can hit fantasy characters with comical weaponry. Fantasy characters react by flickering and disappearing with flashy light effects.

Rated for younger players in Australia. Rated General (G) for Very mild violence, crude humour, and coarse language, some scenes may scare very young children.

Skill Level
