Normally, you would just control one Kirby as you go off on whatever adventure you’re playing, that’s where Kirby Mass Attack will change the way you play Kirby games, forever!
“With 10 Kirbys to control, players can expect 10 times the fun,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “As consumers start thinking about games for friends and family members to enjoy this holiday season, Kirby Mass Attack is another great experience available only on Nintendo systems.”
The blurb:
In the Kirby Mass Attack game, the evil Necrodeus uses his magic staff to split the heroic Kirby into 10 copies of himself. Players must help Kirby return to his original form and save planet Popstar from darkness by guiding him on a quest through worlds fraught with enemies and obstacles. Players start with one Kirby and add more Kirbys to their crew by gobbling up fruit. With unique touch-screen controls, players can then use the stylus to flick Kirbys to break through obstacles, tap on enemy attackers to swarm them with Kirbys or gather Kirbys together and draw a line to carefully maneuver them in a mass. If Kirbys are knocked out, players can simply gulp down more fruit to rebuild their numbers.
In some stages, players must think strategically about the number of Kirbys in their mass because certain challenges can only be solved if they have enough Kirbys. As they build their crew of Kirbys and collect medals to progress through the game, players can also uncover secret areas and unlock a variety of mini-games, each with its own distinctive challenges.
Kirby Mass Attack is out now in the US for those lovely DS owners, but it seems the UK will have to wait until October 28th before we can get our grubby mitts on it!
