But I’m getting ahead of myself, so let’s dial it back a bit and pay a trip to coverage of actual gameplay. In fact should you find your team too ill-equipped for battle, foes such as Kracko, an Ordeal Boss, will easily devastate, so ensuring they are wearing the best armour and wielding the best weapons available is something you will want to make a priority. Still the boss battles are no laughing matter.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe shares a similar style, set-up and even feel, but then lacks a top down world, as it takes a side on view instead and skips puzzle completing entirely and has its levels focused purely on the games “epic” Boss Battles. It may not be the best story in the world, what with it being one we’ve had time and time again, but it’s Kirby so you know it’s going to be different to what we normally get, but do expect a lot of similarities to The Legend of Zelda: TriForce Heroes and I mean a lot. In a faraway land, exists the Dream Kingdom, a once peaceful and a beautiful land that now finds itself under attack from a sudden onslaught of enemies and its only hope to have peace restored, is if a willing team of Kirbys step forth! Unlike other Kirby titles, Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is the first ever free-to-start Kirby title, which is very similar to the sub-game it almost shares its name with, but does possess some noticeable improvements, which includes all new stages and bosses, but before we get into that, first let’s start with its story. When playing Kirby: Planet Robobot, did you ever find yourself wishing the sub-game Team Kirby Clash would be made a fill title in its own right? Should you have answered “ yes” then rejoice for Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is that wish come true, whilst standing as the first of three Kirby titles announced and planned for release in 2017 for the Nintendo 3DS, in celebration of Kirby’s 25 th anniversary.
