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

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.

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

And Rabbit Luigi Have Overalls on Are the original Luigi.

When is the dlc expected?

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.

NOOOOOO RABBID YOSHIE, WHYY WHYYY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

sparks of hope is a big improvement

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Kingdom battles > Sparks of Hope Enough said

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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 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.

Sparks of hope is better

Man the first one os the best

Rabbid Luigi should have kept his dress

Kingdom Battle, 100%

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

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.

What happened to yoshi and Rabbid yoshi

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 😂

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

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

Rabbid Mario was absolutely broken in kingdom battle

And he still is in sparks of hope

Kingdom matter was so much better

I ADORE Sparks Of Hope

I really like both games but I can say I slightly prefer Kingdom Battle.

I like the level aspect of the 2nd game, it feels more rewarding than buying weapons

Sparks of hope is amazing but sadly no co-op

I love Kingdom Battle slightly more due to nostalgia, I thought the weapons and abilities were better and the inclusion of Yoshi because I love Yoshi but most of the other changes in Sparks felt better. But I’m gonna say these games are too close for me to like one more
