Overall, Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a sensational game that features the well-worn mechanics of Mario RPGs but takes them to a higher level, keeping each new step fresh, yet consistent. As you explore, you keep on encountering new characters, new lands, and battles that keep you hooked for almost the whole game, an extremely impressive feat across the many hours it takes to finish. Bros. Moves and Attacks allow you to continue to explore new avenues for the brothers, and Luigi Logic gives you more freedom than ever in a Mario & Luigi game. Power Plugs allow you to take control of battles, deal massive amounts of damage, or gain amazing buffs for the brothers, which may change the outcome of battles. Each enemy and boss brings something new to the table, continuously testing your comprehension of the skills you’ve acquired. For anyone with a Switch, you should play Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
This is the first Mario & Luigi on Switch and it very much feels like the series’ first big-budget home console entry. It's so much bigger than any of the older games, not just in terms of play time, but in terms of ideas too. The only bad thing about Brothership is that it sets the bar so high there’s no going back to the originals now.
I loved every minute of this game
The worlds a vibrant and colorful
The music is wonderful
The gameplay is just like the AlphaDream games
I really hope this means we get more games
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is one of many unique video-game series that features beloved Nintendo characters making a strong comeback featuring a super fun and humorous adventure.
With tight battle mechanics, engaging puzzles, and new characters that become more endearing as the story goes on, Mario & Luigi: Brothership has all the hallmarks of a great RPG. It’s still no Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but it’s not far off.
This game suffers when subjected to a reviewer’s brutal pacing. Maybe if I hadn’t been racing towards the finish line, the endless tiny loading screens wouldn’t have bothered me as much. I was also forced to discard a lot of the side content. It’s not super compelling stuff, but the act of completing it can be pretty relaxing. Searching for Sprite Bulbs scratches that completionist itch in a big way. Plus, the game is beautiful and the battles are a lot of fun. I still wish the puzzles weren’t so frustrating for me. But again, they benefit from more patience than I could spare. My momentum while playing felt wobbly and uneven, but this is still a well-crafted game. Perhaps your time (if you can offer more of it than me) will be well-spent playing Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
A welcome return for the Mario & Luigi franchise, that proves to be a more involved role-player than expected, even if it lacks the consistent humour and weird gameplay flourishes of previous games.
Brothership’s problems will look familiar to anyone who found themselves disappointed by games like Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam or Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Nintendo has seemingly convinced itself that every Mario RPG needs to have bespoke gimmicks. It’s not enough to give players a well-written story and iterate on a solid combat foundation; there always has to be a twist, or two, or three. Those layers drag Brothership down the longer the adventure goes on, making even its intriguing climax feel exhausting by the end.
phenomenal game. absolute masterpiece. boss battles were good the amount of character depth was even better. I teared up a little at the end. would recommend
Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood Connection recovers the spirit of the series with its humor, dynamic combat, and cooperative mechanics, but it fails to surprise or reinvent itself. Although it is an entertaining adventure, the jump to 3D subtracts some of the visual charm, the music goes unnoticed, and the difficulty is too low to pose a real challenge.Furthermore, performance issues can affect fluidity in key moments. It's not a bad game, but it's not a memorable return either; fans will enjoy it, but it leaves the feeling that it could have been much more.
Es un videojuego bastante bueno, buena historia (sencilla y efectiva), con ideas muy originales y muy bien implementadas (como las Luigi ideas, poder hacer que Luigi ejecute acciones automáticamente para facilitar las cosas y permitirle al jugador enfocarse más en el juego y la diversión, o como las clavijas que añaden complejidad y estrategia). Algunas carencias que tiene es que el ritmo al inicio es lento, mecánicas esenciales para agilizar la historia y que vaya a buen ritmo son agregadas un poco ****, y algunas veces los diálogos son excesivos en vez de enfocar el juego en pelear y pelear contra oponentes (que es en lo que debió enfocarse más, en más acción y menos hablar y hablar, mario y luigi compañeros en el tiempo lo hizo muy bien y resulta raro que en ésta entrega hayan cometido errores básicos como esos). Igualmente es más recomendable para un público infantil, es familiar y desde luego que disfrutable luego de un rato de juego, ojalá Nintendo vuelva a ser como era con Satoru Iwata y ponga bastantes de sus artículos a precios razonables y accesibles y deje de ponerlos caros (precios justos y balanceados son los que deben poner, no cualquier tontería o Port a precio de locura), yo sé que no soy dueño de una empresa de videojuegos pero creo que 30-40 dólares como máximo estaría bastante bien para un videojuego de Nintendo Switch que sea muy costoso de producir, y ganarían dinero de sobra pero 70 dólares o más es excesivo.
Way too much hand-holding. This game is targeted to the same audience as Dora the Explorer, and fails even with them because no one on earth wants to read endless pointless dialogue.
It's been more than a half a year since I've got this game, still not finished it. Every time I open my save file I can't help but feel like I am wasting my time. Pacing is genuinely awful, dialogues are too chatty, new characters are not interesting at all, side missions are mere fetch quests. This game is such a wasted potential from previous Mario & Luigi games.
