Pikmin 3 Deluxe Review

Old versus New ... Pikmin always wins.

At least most of the time, because in the work of Nintendo you can find a bug, about which later. Deluxe also has additional mini-campaigns. They focus on specific characters and are both a prequel to the events of the main storyline and their epilogue. They won’t take long, but veterans of the series will surely like them. For what reason? Be sure to check it out for yourself, because by revealing the details, I will definitely spoil the surprise.

The Switch version of the game also boasts a large number of cosmetic changes. First of all, “locking” on cells has changed. Thanks to this, the game is now much more comfortable and faster, although I think that it could be done even better if you did not have to change the position of the controlled character so often. I went through the whole game with the Pro Controller on the TV, which probably made things easier for myself. Playing with pikemes in the mobile version is probably also a lot of fun, but personally I definitely prefer playing on the big screen.

The creators also decided to introduce help in the game. After pressing the D-pad up, we will not only get a hint what we should do, but even a path leading us to the goal will be displayed. The function will probably be useful in several places, but I personally turned it off in the menu, which I recommend to anyone who does not like being led by the hand.

Special badges have been prepared for trophy fans, which we discover as we progress in the story and on many other occasions when we do something extraordinary. This is a good idea that will surely appeal to people who like challenges and want to be sure that they have completed all missions in one hundred percent. Certainly, the badges are motivating, so it is possible that you want to spend a little more than these twenty hours with the game (because it took me so long to finish it).

The perfect balance between the joy of exploring a new environment and a tactical approach to the game – boss fights, although not too demanding, are quite varied and often even very ingenious. However, it also happens that the game breaks down in a not very pleasant way for some reason. It happened to me in one of the quite early missions. Well, in a certain location it was necessary to divide the forces and send a reconnaissance to rebuild a ceramic bridge, necessary for the rest of the “army” to cross the river. By the way, on the way, I found some fruit, slaughtered local animals and ordered some of the pickets to be taken to the rocket as raw materials. The only way back turned out to be the one that required the construction of the bridge. So the Pikmines dumped the carcass and fruit near it and set about taking some pottery to rebuild it. They endured, endured and endured, but they could not climb the bridge itself and mount the collected fragments on it, because they blocked on previously abandoned cargo. This could not be moved in any way, for the poor colored creatures sent to be worn stood in the laden place as if enchanted. The drama ended with a level reset and the fun started again here, performing the activities in a different order.

 

Conclusion:

Pikmin 3 Deluxe” for Nintendo Switch is a great adventure/puzzle game. I like Nintendo games and I have a lot of fun with most of them. Pikmin 3 Deluxe is no exception. This is the perfect entertaining strategy .

Without any generals, no explosions, and all this warlike arsenal of destruction. Instead, it is nice and colorful, although the corpse of the native fauna is thick. Kill bloodlessly and with a smile on your face. And stuff yourself with fruit. Of course, all this is accompanied by the squeals of cute and cuddly creatures. Pikmin 3 Deluxe is an improved version of the original without losing its spirit and atmosphere. Among other things, because the changes did not turn out to be significant and their task is rather to adapt the already seven-year-old material to the requirements of the new recipient. Will this one love the new / old title. I was delighted, so there will certainly be others who will like this safe formula of a colorful war in the Nintendo style
