Jude BeasleyMaroon Echoes Artist With the recent success Kirby: Star Allies for the Nintendo Switch, it’s worth noting the preluding installment, Kirby: Planet Robobot.
Planet Robobot was the final Kirby game released for the 3DS, before the focus was turned to the Switch. Although Planet Robobot was met with mixed reviews when it came out in 2016, it’s one of my personal favorites of the franchise, rivaled only by Kirby: Super Star. Why do I believe Planet Robobot is such a fantastic game? Nintendo always has a knack for developing subtle but incredibly in-depth characters, and their work with the Kirby franchise is no exception. The Kirby series itself seems to have a habit of using cutesy names and themes to mask how intense the storylines and characters really get. I don’t want to spoil anything (in case you’re three years late to the party) but there was a lot of twists and turns in Planet Robobot that almost made me throw my console against the wall. Gameplay wise, Planet Robobot was relatively easy to play. The controls were simple and the actual game itself was just as any other Kirby game. A platformer with puzzles and copy abilities. However, I will admit that I was fooled by how easy the levels actually were, because when I got to the real boss fights, they were nothing like the previous battles in the game. The normal levels were pleasant to play- something you could do if you were just relaxing and sitting around- but the boss fights are completely different. So the game has a bit of a lurch when it comes to actual difficulty, but then again, that is a hallmark of the Kirby franchise. The soundtrack is amazing. The music is just the same as all the other games, but recomposed to fit the metallic, robotic theme of the game, and it really enriched the experience Planet Robobot gave me. Overall, Kirby: Planet Robobot was definitely worth my time, money, and tears of rage at the Meta Knight boss fight. Mecha Knight? Is that spoilers? Whatever. It’s a good game, go buy it!
