Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope vs Kingdom Battle | Direct Comparison 

can you also do a plague tale requiem vs innocence comparison?

10:05 there is only one exception to that rule though, Rabbid Mario, thanks to his skill tree, will still be able to move even after attacking, probaby due to the risks of him being stuck in the open just because of him being short-ranged

10:55 the currency is indeed new to the m&r series but star bits were a staple of the mario galaxy games, in fact feeding sparks is very much lifted from feeding lumas, which these seem to be based off of

I like the first one Kingdom Battle. Its simplicity, look, topic and the grid system. Only the camera roation of fixed 90 degrees was a pain and not really necessary. No grid is not automatically an improvement. It's just different. Anyway, I think I wait for a sale for Sparks of Hope. ...

Hopefully this dlc will be a sign that Rayman will be getting his own 3D game soon

I like almost everything about Sparks of Hope. Great that you aren't tied down to Mario, for instance.

The thing I like about the new game is the amount of enemies and how some of them can have different versions.For example, the wildclaw in beacon beach chases the opponent while the wildclaws in pristine peek don't chase but instead have a area frosty attack

i actually love sparks of hope but i do miss the kongs and yoshi tho

The combat is not as good as KB. Its still great, but I couldn't help but miss the more cinematic combat of the original

The scopers do not teleport, but they can climb surfaces up, like DK did.

I miss Yoshi on Mario Rabbids I love Both of this game and the Donkey Kong dlc

I was 15 when Kingdom Battle came out. I cant belive its been that long

My headcannon on why the rabbid versions of mario, Luigi, and peach is that they've been in the mushroom kingdom for so long that they learned how to kind of talk but they still say "Bwah" like Rabbid mario saying "Ey! Bwahma-Mia!" In one of the cutscenes but it's just my headcannon because the rest of the rabbid characters in the game can talk to

Im really enjoying Sparks of Hope but I think Kingdom Battle is slightly better because I prefer the grid base battle system, the weapons get stronger not just skins and the gold to bronze ranking

Being able to move the characters multiple times during a battle turn, as well as moving after a Team Jump, is a true game changer. However, the fact that we don't have different equitable weapons anymore, just weapon skins, feels a little weird.

It’s the only game I go back to and look up walk through when I’m lost. I’ve been trying to be bk+do for over 2 years now 😂

Sparks of Hope was still so fun. I liked the freedom of it compared to Kingdom Battle

Could you do a Comparison between a Plague Tale Innocence & Requiem ?

Tanks for this video :)

good comparison)

kingdom battle is better for me. more memorable combat encounters, more difficult, seemingly better AI

Great video

Hello. Was just wondering if you're were gonna do Plague Tale Innocence vs Requiem?

Ngl I feel like Spark of Hope somehow looks more popping and less blurry than the first game, which makes me wonder if they used an upscaler for it or not

I just got sparks of hope and I'm disappointed. I preferred the old grid based movement system in the first one. It felt more puzzle like and required more planning. I also preferred the more linear story and map. Not every game needs to be open world with side quests. I loved the original, and I'm not even sure I'm going to bother finishing this one. I just finished world two and I'm already bored.

It's really hard for me to pick which one I prefer. I think SoH has the slight edge for me due to it feeling more like a proper RPG with a solid story, memorable characters, beautifully-crafted worlds, and plentiful overworld puzzles. Not to mention, its vast customizability, unique primary weapons for each character, more developed skill trees, and simply more characters in general gives SoH even more lasting power for me. Plus, its DLC felt more substantial than KB's. However, KB does have that traditional tactical RPG gameplay that I love so much, and it definitely had better performance and difficulty balancing, providing better overall combat gameplay. It also has a good multiplayer system and fun challenges beyond the main story. Still, SoH's combat and difficulty are really good in their own right (especially towards the end of Pristine Peaks going forward) while KB's world design and exploration felt a bit flat and linear. TL;DR: Sparks of Hope is a 9/10 while Kingdom Battle is an 8.5/10 for me. Both have their own strengths, but Sparks just felt like a more complete package despite some of its combat-related shortcomings.

Is it me or the first one looks better?

What happened to yoshi and Rabbid yoshi

One other thing. I actually preferred Rabbid Luigis old clothes but I mean the new ones work too

Man the first one os the best

In all honesty, after 100% Sparks of Hope on the hardest difficulty, I probably have to say that Kingdom Battle is better (take it with a grain of salt). Most of my problems with the sequel are just simple nitpicks such as the rabbids actually speaking, the non-grid battle system, no secondary weapons, and not very interesting enemy varieties (again this one can be taken with a grain of salt, but the addition of Mario related enemies gets a pass). I also missed how they did the splash screens when introducing a new enemy or boss battle and some of the fights were clunky as all hell and had way too many enemy spawn (once again salt grain I was playing on the hardest difficulty). But by all means, I really enjoyed the story and the addition of new playable characters, Rabbid Rosalina probably being my absolute favorite, lastly, we luckily have some DLC in the future which will keep me playing.

Kingdom Battle, 100%

I don’t know why, but I miss the old Rabbid skull icon from Kingdom Battle. It had a nice pizzaz to it, don’t know why I had a weird opinion.

Honestly when I hear about the sequel for this game I got hopes a bit up then I saw the game and raised them more Then it lived up to the hype so honestly I enjoy this awesome game

When is next documentary due bro ?

Please also cover Arkham knight vs Gotham knights!

I also like that you can now dash through several enemies if they are close to each other. That always triggered me in the old game.

Kingdom Battle was SO MUCH BETTER, in absolutely every way possible. Its actually amazing.

Nice DLC

Rabbid Luigi should have kept his dress

Kingdom battle was 1 million times better for me the gameplay, the grid everything. If they do, it would’ve just made slight enhancements. This could’ve been one of the second best games on the planet sparks of Hope is way too clunky and hard to figure out sparks of Hope is just less enjoyable. For me.

When is the dlc expected?

Hey nick can you please do a History of Batman Arkham Franchise next?

Except rabbid Mario (without the boot item). He can move after use his fist but you unlock it by use some skill points.

Like star lord

3:55 I don't agree with these two statements. Mario's range was Mid and Close range, so his role wasn't the close range character, more the generic All-Rounder who _can_ go into close range. Close range was _always_ Rabbid Mario's specialty with his Short Range Shotgun and way stronger hammer and Magnet Dance (which was pretty terrible, especially when you look at DK's magnet in the same game)

It's almost like nintendo knows we want super Mario Galaxy 3

We waiting for the uncharted pc comparison be like 🥲

NOOOOOO RABBID YOSHIE, WHYY WHYYY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I really like both of these games. But I kinda prefer Kingdom Battle more. I liked the linear world approach, there battle systems, grid system & other gameplay department there than as to what Spark of Hope has. Not to say I disliked any from Sparks of Hope. I just think Kingdom Battle does an better job.

I don’t like how they remove to buy weapons 😢

So much better

I prefer Kingdom Battle's combat and Spark Of Hope's more serious nature.

And Rabbit Luigi Have Overalls on Are the original Luigi.

i said i ilke main because i ilke when the gameplay was playful but in the new one there is side quest and main one

I want to be rude to this video but I feel like there's one thing he forgot to point out it's that the game gets more and more different he says spark and but later on you can choose too stuff like that I think he should have mentioned quickly

Can you do a metro 2033/last light vs metro redux comparison?

Already played sparks of hope years after kingdom battle. And of course, I would have to see this new game with dlcs to give a full review, but even so, at the moment I find Kingdom Battle more complex and way more enjoyable than this 2nd one. I ended this last game after getting done every side quest and what I found, is a empty game after a boss fight that was awfully easy even at max difficulty. I feel disappointed and I hope that the dlcs make justice. Otherwise, I would be mad.

I played both games but I prefer the Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope is sooo much better than Kingdom Battle I love how the Sparks of Hope has change everything

I really love a lot of things about sparks of hope. some things... not so much though. like... the voice acting... the bwahs were amazing and ik that rabbids have voices now but its just not as... goofy. gives off a different vibe. plus it ruins phantoms original thing. he was the only rabbid that could really speak and they used that amazingly. i also dunno how i feel about the lack of the yoshis. although they werent good in the first game, just having them wouldve been great. especially with the weapon skins now in the game. although i do love bowser, edge, and rabbid rosalina i will be missing my goofy rabbid yoshi, and yoshi my favorite. but one thing is for sure. i love rabbid luigis new design. the overalls are really good on him.

The new combat in sparks of hope ruined the whole game for me. The grid based system was way more tactical and satisfying. The dlc of the first game was a little harder and made it more fun to find ways and pull it off.

The only thing i dislike aboyt the seaquel is no multiplayer and bossfisghts dont feel as intense curse bossfight was lit though they neef to make it more like kb the movemnt system skill tree and sparks features are nice and i like the story feeling more grahphical but i font like the voices now

I like there's no longer a time limit so that players can actually work on their strategy.

Am I the only one who knows that SOH (Sparks of Hope) has references from Mario Galaxy 1, and 2?

Oh, c'mon, KB is infinitely better than Sparks of Hope

Kingdom battles > Sparks of Hope Enough said

In the first game peach may be more of a defender going to Healer but it’s more extreme in the sequel They put more eggs in one basket in spurts of hope compared to kingdom battle

hi

I've never been this early

Kingdom battle is always better Now i know Kingdom battle has better humor than sparks of hope and i didn't laughed one time in sparks of hope while i laughed a ton in kingdom battle Here are some examples Beep-0 has way more comments The rabbids talk in there native language Bowser jr has way more interpretation There more puzzles then in sparks of hope You had more turn options then just one or 2 You had unique boss battles that had also funny moments as example rabbit kong

I beat sparks of hope and tried going back to kingdom battle after and I couldn’t do it; sparks of hope is so much better

after 40+ hours in first game, it's feels something wrong with rpg elements in the second, but I really enjoy free moove

sparks of hope is a big improvement

Kb is better in almost every way. Very little reason to go back to sh

Sparks of hope is better

dude say ooubesoft instead of ubisoft XD

I personally think that the only significant improvement that Sparks of Hope made was in the combat gameplay. Everything was made kinda worse. But that one thing was still made so much better that it's leaps and bounds better than Kingdom Battle.

the best thing about this game is that you can turn off the vulnerability, just go to options and hit customize, you can now take no damage from enemies, kingdom battle was the WORSE GAME for me, the battles were way too hard, even on easy mode with the health, the puzzles were super confusing without a guide, the movement felt very limited, plus full voice acting for beep o and jeanie, honestly sparks of hope is much better then kingdom battle gameplay wise.

So I need to play more but the game seems so different. I like the combat in the first one more. Buuuut its still fun. I miss my rabbid yoshi. He was my favorite in the base game paired with rabbid luigi and luigi. Plus the Donkey Kong adventure expansion is still my favorite mario and rabbids content, Rabbid Cranky was amazing. And the expansion was one of the best donkey Kong games ever. I'd say right up with the likes of the DKC series, DK64, Subspace Emmisary, and even his representation in Punch Out Wii
