Kirby of the Stars Quest Review: Pink Demon and Childish Me

Open a fairy tale

Was it "the young man's first Kirby of the Stars"? "Or memories of growing up old players? Kirby quietly grew up with me, but as a companion, I have been struggling with where to start.

The body of the pink Q-bomb, the round shape, and the big mouth that can devour everything and gain power. Kirby is from the hand of Mr. Masahiro Sakurai, and he is loved by Uncle Shigeru Miyamoto, and he is destined to be a beloved character.

There is no such thing as the tight-knit platform jumps of the Mori Yoshigan series, nor the intense exploration and time constraints of the Super Mario series.

The ability to float in the air for continuous jumping, enemies that are so cute that you can't help taking screenshots, and HP slots that grow to burst the table, all set up to make the game easier and brighter.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Nintendo family, Kirby's combat effectiveness can be described as one of the strongest, but the difficulty of the game is one of the lowest. Because of this, Kirby has also received the favor of a large number of elderly and female and child players.

This picture! This light and shadow! This color! This Kirby! Bought!

When the first version of the promotional video of "Kirby of the Stars" was released, I believe that many friends were like me, mistakenly thinking that this time made an open-world game.

Then, as new content on the official website became available, I was given the illusion that "this is an illusion similar to super mario odyssey-style box games." However, speculation is ultimately hypothetical, and all the truth will not be revealed until the game is officially released.

The sudden epidemic has caused the cassette to circulate most of China. After a week of anxiety, waiting, anxiety, and waiting, the cassette finally arrived safely in my hands. (Everyone remember to take out the courier and wear gloves and disinfect it frequently!) )

Judging from the official version, the overall gameplay of Star Kirby Discovery is between Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Odyssey, and I may be a little confused when I say this, so I will explain it more simply. (Speaking human!) )

To sum up, it is still a holistic 3D box play, which is larger than Super Mario 3D World, with more elements to explore and display on the map, and more space spans. Compared to Super Mario Odyssey, its map volume is more compact and the scene is easier to explore.

As a new work released on the 30th anniversary of The Star Kirby, I am very confident! Whether you're new to the series or a die-hard fan, you'll find plenty of new experiences like never before in Kirby Discovery.

In addition to those familiar bright colors, this work also adds scenes of volcanoes, deserts and other dark colors. The overall design of the level is compact and reasonable.

Expect it to tell a moving story

Like all previous titles in the series, Kirby of the Stars is still a level system. In addition to the fixed flow levels, there are also a number of "Treasure Road" challenge levels that are automatically unlocked and hidden on the map.

Treasure Challenges are all racing modes, each challenge can only use a fixed weapon and cannot be discarded halfway through. Although it is not difficult to complete the challenge within the rated time, it is a little difficult to achieve the specified "target time", but even if it is ignored, it will not affect the acquisition of the "rare stone", nor will it affect the progress of the game. (After all... "old people" also have to play!) )

Compared to its predecessors, Kirby of the Stars discovered the discovery of the series abandons the traditional "Big Star Collection" element and instead adds 5 different mission challenges to each level. In addition to the common "Rescue Wadou Rudi", there are a series of special missions with surprises such as "Arrive at the Designated Location", "Activate the Designated Location", "Get the Specified Item" and so on.

When the first level is played, the conditions for completing the mission are unknown, and in order to eliminate the frustration of aimlessly searching for the mission objective in the level, the game will prompt the player to an unfinished mission condition after passing the level, which also greatly reduces the difficulty of full collection.

It is still quite difficult to achieve the target time for individual treasure levels, especially the final level of the hammer, which has been a hard battle for an afternoon.

Swallow an enemy unit and then gain his abilities. This familiar setting has long been imprinted in the DNA of every veteran player, and even if you have never touched the Kirby star series, you can get a glimpse of Kirby's terrifying strength in works such as "Nintendo Star Brawl".

Ben has designed at least 2 upgrades for each form, and after the upgrade, both the attack power of the weapon and the change of performance and driving method have brought new fun. However, for an old fan of the series, although this approach is sincere, it is less "satisfying".

First of all, a large number of forms in the Kirby of the Star series are not included in the Kirby of the Stars Discovery. In addition, perhaps in order to balance the playing experience in 3D mode, some attack methods have been cut and weakened by individual forms. Finally... I can't help but feel a little sorry that there are no new forms.

But! Having said that, regret is regrettable, and the existing form in this game is enough for players to enjoy it. Although there is no new combat form, the newly added "stuffed mouth deformation" setting in this game is very funny. Triangle cones, cars, circles, and even vending machines can become objects of metamorphosis that are devoured.

They either participate in attacks, or puzzle solving, or they are used to water, to race, to fly. They are cleverly interspersed throughout the levels, seemingly simple but always pleasing to people, and each "stuffed mouth" has an unexpected game experience.

The various forms of Sai Man's mouth are really cute to explode! What are you waiting for! Hurry up and get started!

Compared to previous works, Star Kirby Discovery is much lower in terms of the difficulty of enemies and the complexity of solving puzzles. There are no particularly brain-burning puzzles in the game, and there are no very hidden collections hidden.

Most of the time, the enemy is a mascot that is alive and free, mainly undertaking the important task of "sending equipment". If the boss battle does not consider the harmless mission, there is basically no difficulty to speak of except for the final battle. (Seriously...) I feel like I can use the face roll handle to pass. )

Wazurudi Village is the most distinctive venue in this game and the only "big collection" in the entire Kirby of the Stars series. In Wadou rudi Village, players can experience many mini-games similar to previous works (such as fishing, ballwork, part-time work, etc.), and can also view the previous works and background music in their huts.

The collections in this work have their own very detailed text descriptions, basically some of the relatively important characters and events in the entire series are clearly and clearly explained. This is not only the feelings and memories of the old players, but also allows the new players to have a rough understanding of the story of each character.

When you are at ease, you can go to the takeaway shop to pack some food, try your luck in front of the egg machine in your spare time, go to the arena to kill when you want to move your bones, and go back to your cabin to sleep beautifully when you are tired. For the first time, wazurudi village has achieved a great integration of the Kirby star series.

All patterns can be iteratively upgraded, and there are sandbags for attack testing.

Fairy tales are destined to have a happy ending

After completing the one-week program process, there is still a relatively rich two-week content and corresponding treasure challenges. At the same time, you will also get the upgrade blueprints for the highest level of the two weapons, and unlock the weapon's additional enhancement system.

In the new world of the Two Weeks, players will encounter enhanced versions of all one-week bosses, as well as new challenges and a complete final boss in the Arena of Wazurudi Village.

However, personally, I am still not satisfied with the additions for the purpose of the second week. For example, the map of the new world is overly reused, although there is a enhanced version of the boss, there are no related challenge tasks, the new content that can be played is relatively limited, and so on...

Of course, this may also be my greed as a fan. To be sure, the two-week episode of Kirby of The Star is already well documented, and I'm looking forward to the official follow-up updates that will make the game even more fledgling.

Oh yes! By the way! During the game, you can press the pause button to read Amiibo, and each Amiibo will get some supplies and boosters, but each scene can only be read 5 times.

At the critical moment of life and death, you can feel the "banknote ability" brought by the "official internal hanging"! Tell you what! Having money to hurt is really dripping high!

The arena of the two-week program can challenge the final boss of the Chaos Complete Body, with difficulty and epic pulling up!

Close this fairy tale

When we finish reading the last page of the fairy tale, for a moment, it seems as if everything around us will pull us back to the familiar reality.

Kirby accompanied my childhood and guarded my growth. Outdoors by the bunkers; on the way out of school; at home in the summer; in the noisy classroom; or in the parting lounge; in the waiting area for exams; under the pale shadowless lights; in the comfort and calm of the present moment.

As a child, I always looked forward to reuniting with Kirby because I felt that was the right thing to do. Growing up, I was also looking forward to my reunion with Kirby, because I was afraid that if I said goodbye this time, I would never meet again.

Many times I wonder if I'm watching Kirby or if Kirby is guarding me. Time passed, and he was still the gentle, lovely, brave Kirby. It's just, really sorry, I grew old alone...

I sincerely hope that I can always live in this world with a heart that loves games; I can always firmly believe in the beautiful stories in those fairy tales, and read those panicked pasts lightly; I can always follow Kirby's cute back and face those sudden changes without fear.

May the sun dissipate the scars of time, the raindrops moisturize the dry atrium, the snow cover up the short silence, and the wind can germinate long-lost hope.

Wazurudi has everything in the village, and I really want to live in this cozy village
