Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope: When a game comes close to perfection

In a world of games with incredibly realistic graphics, sometimes it’s in simplicity that you can come close to perfection. This is the case of “Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope”, released for Nintendo Switch in October this year: a great game, simple in its visuals, but which could finally take the tactical RPG to the center of the streaming world.

Roleplaying games, especially tactical or turn-based ones, are often overlooked on streaming platforms due to the success of massive online multiplayer titles such as “Fortnite”, “Overwatch” and “Call of Duty”, just to name a few.

But the charisma of the characters from Nintendo’s Mario universe, along with the Rabbids, Ubisoft’s mascots, may be exactly what the genre needed to appear among the great streaming games.

Irony and sarcasm in the right measure

For those who haven’t played the first game in the “Mario + Rabbids” franchise, “Kingdom Battle”, you may see the combination of characters from the Mushroom Kingdom with Ubisoft mascots as something unusual, to say the least. But be aware: it is exactly this partnership that makes “Sparks of Hope” a game close to perfection.

In addition to fluid gameplay and a very dynamic, albeit tactical and turn-based, battle system, it is precisely in the story that the game stands out, with just the right amount of irony and sarcasm to entertain you and keep your audience interested.

With elements reminiscent of the “Mario Galaxy” games, “Sparks of Hope” is the pinnacle of fun. Every detail of the game, whether on the map or how the characters, full of charisma, act during battles and cutscenes, can bring good laughs to the streamer and to his audience. Pay attention to the details, it’s worth it.

Main story and side quests

Despite all the positive points that make “Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope” an “almost perfect” game, it is important to mention: we are still talking about a tactical RPG and this type of game can seem a little boring for audiences more more accustomed with frantic multiplayer games.

The main story is already long enough and the game still offers several other side quests to evolve the characters and all this has to be taken into account during your live stream.

That said, it’s worth taking advantage of every detail of “Sparks of Hope” along with your audience, including your audience opinions in character evolution and customization decisions and even in who to choose for your team.

“Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope”: Unpretentiously awesome

At first glance, “Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope” may seem like a rather unassuming title, amidst a world of grandiose next-gen titles. But that lack of “pressure” is what helps the game be as fun as it is.

The high point, really, is the charisma of each of the characters, whether the main ones or the supporting ones. Funny, weird, ironic and sarcastic… there’s everything among the characters of “Sparks of Hope” and this variety adds a lot of fun to the story.

In conclusion, “Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope” has everything to be a great title for content creators and streamers, especially if focused on how funny the game is and how fun it is to play it casually, without rushing and without pressure. Enjoy the story and characters and have a good laugh along with your audience.

And to improve everything, the game is very well localized in several languages, including Brazilian Portuguese, with idiomatic expressions that make the game even more fun to explore.
