Is Void the origin of these artifacts? Is he simply copying Kirby’s memories? Nobody knows.īut then Void reveals his final phase… in which he looks almost exactly like Kirby. He can summon two of the Ultra Swords from Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, plus he even summons copies of the Master Crown (a powerful relic that ties into Return to Dream Land’s plot) to fire lasers. Or just Void, if you’re playing the arena mode. Void Termina’s mere existence calls so much into question. Kirby proves to be too much for him to handle, and in a last-ditch effort to complete the ritual, Hyness sacrifices himself and the three sisters and successfully revives “the dark lord of destruction”, whose name is Void Termina. Kirby and company eventually confront the sisters’ “master” – Hyness – and, as you might expect, they beat him up as well. Kirby beats up the three sisters too, and then invades their master’s giant base. Their master is trying to bring them back to attempt his ritual once again. Along the way, he meets Francisca, Flamberge, and Zan Partizanne, three magical sisters who have also been tasked with collecting the Jamba Hearts. Sure enough, Kirby beats it out of him and begins to pursue the greater threat of the Jamba Hearts. One of these hearts possessed King Dedede, causing him to go berserk. As fate would have it, a religious leader from far away in outer space messed up a ritual of some sort, which sent heart-shaped possessors called Jamba Hearts across the galaxy. Just like Kirby’s Dream Land, the events of Star Allies begin with King Dedede steals all of the food in Dream Land. There’s going to be spoilers up ahead, so if … for some reason you don’t want to be spoiled, you’ve been warned. Most of them add interesting lore to the series, and Star Allies takes this a step further and covers Kirby’s origins. Most players do not play Kirby games for their storyline. Let’s start by discussing the game itself - we’ll get to the content updates in just a bit. Do these updates improve the overall experience, or are they just tiny bonuses? Most of all, do they justify that hefty price tag? The answer is no, but for this post’s sake I’ll provide a lengthy explanation. At the time of its release, the game was most certainly not worth $60. It did receive a bunch of content updates, including new characters and modes. It’s been over two years since Kirby Star Allies was released, so I figure it’s time to have another look at it. So, then… my opinion here is in line with the general consensus. I’ve played the game more than most can say they have at over 150 hours (yes, you’re probably wondering how I even got that far), I have a very solid opinion of this game: it’s not great. But let’s move back to Star Allies: the general consensus is that it wasn’t that great. Super Kirby Clash was released in September 2019…but didn’t cause much of a stir. Things have been quiet for the Kirby series since the launch of Star Allies for Nintendo Switch.
