But, really, single-player isn’t what Kirby Fighters 2 is about. Nor is it about the relatively serious tone of online multiplayer. Kirby Fighters 2 is a rare gem in that it’s a local multiplayer-orientated game that, in 2020, was not developed by a small studio working on a micro-budget. This game, to me, is a reminder of the dozens upon dozens of hours I would play Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo 64 with family and friends, at a time before anyone cared about a “meta-game” or the tiered rankings of dozens upon dozens of characters. Kirby Fighters 2 gets the party fighting game genr…
At first glance, Kirby Fighters 2 appears rather unnecessary. I can't imagine gamers have been in the middle of a Smash Bros. bout and thought, "You know what would make this better? Removing everyone except Kirby." But do you know what? It works.Read More
Available via digital only, Kirby Fighters 2 is a “lite” fighting game on the Nintendo Switch that has Kirby holding the star billing of this title with other
After the enjoyable but initially lacking Kirby Star Allies and the mobile game inspired Super Kirby Clash, we were overdue for another serving of Dream
Kirby Fighters 2 is an unremarkable fighting game that doesn’t really do much to separate itself from Super Smash Brothers. The fighting is decent and the story mode is fun, but there’s little reason to carry on playing once you’ve climbed the tower, especially with the multiplayer servers already feeling empty a few weeks after release. At less than half the price of Ultimate, Kirby Fighters 2 is a great compromise if you’re looking for a simple fighting game.
Kirby Fighters 2 achieves nearly all of its glory in Story Mode, but there’s still some fun in short bursts if you have friends to play with or enjoy the time trials. Skip online unless you’re playing with friends. But even that risks your sanity.
Kirby Fighters 2 is a simple fighting game that is designed to be fun without being overwhelming or complex.
While I do think there is a slight issue with its identity, Kirby Fighters 2 brings menus, visuals, music, stage selection, and really an entire package with fantastic presentation. The characters look amazing in HD and have very expressive animations, and I loved the stages. A lot of them have bosses on them that act as stage hazards, but unfortunately there isn’t a way to turn those hazards off. Regardless, they do add a lot to the uniqueness of each stage, and that was appreciated. Kirby Fighters 2, overall, is an incredibly easy game that is somewhat lacking in content. In terms of repla…
I feel that I can't be too harsh on Kirby. Kirby was created for simplicity in almost every regard. He is small and round, making him simple to draw. He has a cute, friendly expression on his face at all times. Even his first game was designed from the ground up to be approachable for younger and less experienced players, thus the decision to give Kirby a near-infinite jump, allowing him to sail right over difficult platform challenges and enemies. As a result, I have a lot of patience for the tiny warrior, as I know what he was created for, and what he continues to represent in gaming. But that doesn't mean I'll grin while sitting through a fairly tedious game.
A charming, breezy brawler Kirby Fighters 2 is a solid gateway fighting game hampered by limited modes and the occasional difficulty spike.
Kirby Fighters 2 is a kid-friendly fighting game that holds rather limited appeal.
If your favourite character to play in Super Smash Bros is Kirby, well, do I have some good news for you. Kirby Fighters 2 is going to scratch that very specific itch, because while it plays like Smash, pretty much every player character is Kirby wearing a different hat. It’s a very cute and colourful concept, but whether it holds up after a few hours of play is another matter entirely.
Kirby Fighters 2 is very much Super Smash Bros. for kids and/or hardcore Kirby fans. It's a similar experience just made worse by the simplistic and slow fighting and the limited variety of overall gameplay content.
Like many enduring fighting game franchises, The King of Fighters operates under the axiom that if it ain't broke, don't fix it and continues to deliver the thrills that fans of the series have enjoyed for nearly twenty years. While the game doesn't revolutionize the formula, it also doesn't try, retaining what has made the franchise so endearing while providing updates to stand a bit closer to its contemporaries. More geared towards counters than, say, Street Fighter's emphasis on combos, Th...
