Fans of the saga have been waiting in vain for almost ten years. Good news: at the Nintendo Direct on June 18, 2024, a new opus in the Mario and Luigi series was announced. The two brothers reunite in a brand-new adventure on Nintendo Switch, available since November 7, 2024, with Mario and Luigi, the brotherly epic.
" The two brothers return for a new maritime adventure! Join Mario and Luigi aboard the Navisthme (half-island, half-ship) as they explore the vast world of Connexia. Climb aboard the Navisthme's cannon and propel yourself to varied islands that range from tropical rainforests to bustling cities, where quests await."
In this new game, Mario and Luigi explore the world of Connexia, battling numerous enemies. To defeat these adversaries and advance through the various universes, the two brothers will have to work in harmony! Many allies are also present throughout the adventure to help you progress.
From your boat, sail from island to island, and explore very different worlds. Towns, meadows or cliffs to climb, ice or lava: there's no shortage of challenges that can only be solved by working with your partner.
Our review of Mario et Luigi, l'épopée fraternelle:
Game tested on Nintendo Switch Lite - playing time: 4h
We're back with the mustachioed brothers for a new adventure on land and sea. Following a strange incident, we find ourselves in the world of Connexia: this great continent has been broken up into several islands, which you'll have to attach to the main ship in order to reconstitute this world.
The islands are all different, with their own maps, monsters and special features. The game's gameplay is thus divided into several parts: navigation at sea, to find the lost islands,exploration and combat. Along the way, accessories and tools can be unlocked to further enrich the experience.
The game is easy to pick up and very accessible: battles are turn-based, so there's no need to learn long key combinations to defeat enemies.
All in all, Mario & Luigi: The Brotherly Epic is a highly entertaining game that's fun to explore and lets us spend time with our favorite video game characters.
However, Nintendo's new title is lacking in certain respects. The game is very talkative: we meet a lot of characters, and they have a lot to say. These dialogues serve to deepen the story of this new world, but they also break the rhythm of the game. We sometimes spend long minutes reading the dialogues, rather than actually playing the game. What's more, this opus is long. The money invested certainly pays off in the hours of gameplay available, but the navigation/exploration mechanics can quickly seem repetitive in the long run.
Nintendo's game is still great fun for fans of the license, and should particularly appeal to younger players. We're eager to complete our quest and unravel Connexia's many mysteries.
A fabulous, vitamin-packed journey awaits you in this world full of surprises... Join Mario and Luigi in this brotherly epic!
