Playing the Donkey Kong DLC for Mario Rabbids and a bit disappointed, some thoughts so far after about 4 hours.
- It's got the same level of polish and charm as the original game
- DK's abilities are great fun initially but wear thin when most levels rely so strongly on him
- Cranky has one new rather dull ability but otherwise is just a rehash of existing characters
- You can't use your original team members other than Rabbid Peach (who you have to use)
- It is very easy, not lost a single character and come in well under the turn limit.
- Environmental puzzles are the same as before and only reward models/soundtracks in 90% of cases
- No new enemies other than reskins
I absolutely loved the original, top 5 Switch game for sure so I'm still having reasonable fun but I really hope for some more new content and that it gets tougher. It's a shame the DLC wasn't aimed at end-game content, you only need to complete world 1 to unlock it which gives an idea of where the difficulty is pitched.
Character progression, coins, orbs, unlocks, etc don't carry over from the main game, it's totally self-contained (even has it's own separate set of save files). As far as I can see you do need the original game to play the DLC (I saw someone mention earlier in this thread that they thought it was standalone).
love to just see how I get on with games like this.
