Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Mario & Luigi: Brothership, développé par ACQUIRE Corp. et édité par Nintendo, est sorti le 7 novembre 2024 sur Nintendo Switch. Ce titre mêle aventure, jeux de rôle et plateforme, et plonge les frères Mario et Luigi dans une nouvelle expédition maritime à bord de l'île vaisseau Shipshape, à travers le monde de Concordia et ses diverses îles. Les joueurs y rencontrent de nouveaux compagnons comme Connie et Snoutlet, ainsi que des figures connues du Royaume Champignon telles que Peach et Bowser, et utilisent des Bros. Moves pour progresser ainsi que des Bros. Attacks dans un combat au tour par tour dynamique. Le moteur Unreal Engine 5 a été employé pour sa réalisation, et une partie principale demande environ 41 heures, contre 59 heures pour une complétion intégrale.
L'accueil critique s'est révélé favorable dans l'ensemble, avec une note agrégée de 77,40. The Enemy a salué le fait que le jeu « garde l'esprit de la série vivant avec des combats intelligents et une histoire drôle », tandis que Nintendojo l'a qualifié de « jeu sensationnel » élevant les mécaniques classiques des RPG Mario. Du côté des joueurs, certains ont apprécié le scénario et l'exploration, comme en témoigne un avis Metacritic évoquant un « bon jeu avec une intrigue correcte et des personnages agréables », mais d'autres ont regretté une certaine répétitivité du gameplay passé un certain stade ainsi que des performances parfois en deçà, l'un d'eux mentionnant tout de même une expérience de plus de 50 heures qu'il jugeait globalement réussie malgré deux défauts.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Brothership keeps the series' spirit alive with smart battles and a funny story. »
« Overall, Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a sensational game that features the well-worn mechanics of Mario RPGs but takes them to a higher level, keeping each new step fresh, yet consistent. As you explore, you keep on encountering new characters, new lands, and battles that keep you hooked for almost the whole game, an extremely impressive feat across the many hours it takes to finish. Bros. Moves and Attacks allow you to continue to explore new avenues for the brothers, and Luigi Logic gives you more freedom than ever in a Mario & Luigi game. Power Plugs allow you to take control of battles, deal massive amounts of damage, or gain amazing buffs for the brothers, which may change the outcome of battles. Each enemy and boss brings something new to the table, continuously testing your comprehension of the skills you’ve acquired. For anyone with a Switch, you should play Mario & Luigi: Brothership. »
« With so many bespoke moments for each little mini-story, complete with unique minigames and interesting character arcs, Brothership is bursting at the seams with fun things to do. »

Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Premier jeu de la série que je termine, en un peu plus de 50h, j'ai skip quelques quêtes **** jeu est un banger imo, mais pas sans (deux) défauts, les performances, le frame rate chute à un moment dans la zone lobby qui est un peu surpeuplé, et un début de jeu un peu lent, faut **** contre dès que l'histoire s'emballe, les mécaniques de jeu aussi, et il en résulte un gameplay très dynamique et profond.L'histoire est très chouette, avec des nouveaux personnages qui m'ont marqué, et une évolution de certains visages connus qui est super plaisante et touchante. J'ai versé ma petite larme à la fin, un peu triste d'avoir fini cette aventure.Enfin bref, hormis un souci de rythme, le jeu est très plaisant à jouer : ce voyage vaut le détour ! »
« Fun game with decent plot and enjoyable characters. Some humor and enjoyed exploring. However at a certain mark gameplay becomes very repetitive and also had some experiences with button delay »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« Charming game following old Mario & Luigi games formula, but with some elements added from other RPGs, like a bigger presence of side quests (and as in RPGs many are forgettable but some are fine). While sometimes the pacing is off, the longetivity of the game was a welcome surprise to me. However, they really should have added 2-3 isles or 1 dungeon in the last section of the game, instead of having you go back to the others. Characters are quirky and weird as usual. Overall a solid game that stays true to the main line. »
« True to the Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga series, this game is packed to the brim with charm. The music is always fun and comfortable, the tone is always "you're here for fun not seriousness", and the battles are fluid and dang-near rhythm-based. I'm glad to see this series alive and well especially since Alpha Dream (the original studio) closed its doors. The stakes are never terribly high in these games. It's almost always a bad guy shows up and wants to be the biggest bad but shenanigans ensue when the Mario Bros show up. Battles this time flow a little differently, which is one of my few gripes about the game. All attacks include both Mario Bros and require you to press A or B to activate Bro. These don't count as Bros Attacks which are easy to learn as you progress the story, but you become over-reliant on the special Bros Attacks at a pretty early stage of the game. Since there are only about 6 of these special attacks per character they become repetitive and kind of a chore. The story does a cool "here's your TRUE enemy" and even ups the gravity of the situation when the main villain reveals that his master plan distract everyone so they forget they are sad, all the while corrupting and destroying the world. As an adult playing this colorful, aimed at younger audiences game, that story hit differently now that I have an adult perspective of the world. This game is a blast and fun, but after 70 hours and the true enemy finally revealed many scenarios could have been omitted. I feel like the repetitive attacks made this game overstay its welcome, but I still recommend this game. »
« A return to form for the series, a good revival. Although the game does drag multiple times throughout. »
« Good first experience with the franchise overall. It gets a bit repetitive at times, but it’s a fun game! »
« Pas le meilleur mario et luigi mais superbes cela fait un beau retour de la franchise avec de nouveaux persos/allié/ennemi »
