Description:
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a genre-bending adventure that merges the tactical, turn-based combat of the Mario + Rabbids series with a new emphasis on exploration and free-form movement. A direct sequel to Kingdom Battle, this game takes Mario, his friends, and their Rabbid counterparts on a galactic journey to save the universe from a new, malevolent entity known as Cursa.
The core gameplay has been significantly evolved from the first game. The most notable change is the shift from a grid-based combat system to a more fluid, free-movement one. Within a character's turn, you can now move them freely within a certain radius, allowing for more dynamic positioning, combo attacks, and strategic opportunities. This change makes combat feel more active and less rigid.
The game also introduces the Sparks, a new species formed from the fusion of Lumas and Rabbids. You can equip two Sparks to each of your heroes, granting them unique elemental powers and abilities, like a fire-based shockwave or a defensive shield. This system adds a deep layer of customization and strategy, allowing you to create unique hero teams and adapt to different enemy types.
As you travel to different planets, you'll explore vast, open-ended worlds filled with quests, puzzles, and secrets. The game features a roster of new and returning characters, including the surprising addition of Bowser and the mysterious hero, Edge. With its vibrant worlds, charming humor, and deep yet approachable tactical gameplay, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is an epic adventure that will challenge and delight fans of both franchises.
