Warioware: Get It Together! In the test: Cute micro playback, but no rushing party

Oh, what were we optimistic when we first announced Warioware: Get It Together! Seen and then played the demo. So much content seemed in the micro play collection, so much long-term entertainment and variety. The test version of Warioware: Get It Together! Has back to the ground of the facts, not necessarily painful, but still a bit sobering.

But first of all the good news: The new Warioware is, like its numerous predecessors, an entertaining and humorous pleasure for common party evenings. Thus, the title has fulfilled the most important requirement, but not more. Which other couch coal titles 2021 are available to you, you read in our special.

Get out!

In Get It Together! There is a campaign in which Wario and consorts are kidnapped into the world of their self-developed video game. Blame: the annoying bugs and a character known from the predecessors, which we do not want to betray you before! Gradually, we walk through the different chapters on a top world map and switch the prisoners heroes like Mona, Orbulon, Dr. Crygor and more free.

Pretty made the respective worlds that fit them at the same time thematically to the contained micro plays. The Kinder-Ninjas Kat and Ana, for example, stuck in the section in which animals are about, they will find all disciplines that somehow with four-legged friends.

Is that full retro or a bit comfortable from the developers? In the Nintendo chapter you simply play short sections from Super Mario World at Bossfight . Source: PC Games There are boss fights that vary very differently depending on the chapter - not all of them make a lot of fun. In Warios world, we simply paint an opponent with the rammattacke until he gives up in Monas section, on the other hand, we pack moving boxes and need to remember different item combinations for this.

Nonetheless, we always do the same here: Complete micro games in a row until the four lives are assumed. The small arms, in which the sections are embedded, points with charms and now also sets sentences of the protagonists. The Dogeduo Dribble and Spitz is now wheats, for example, Berliners or Bavarian - a very sympathetic synchro!

The playing time per chapter and unlockable game character is short at 15 to 30 minutes, but the whole story we have completed easily within a few hours. The return to story mode irritates only insofar as we can compete with another team and fight for a new highscore, on request also with a second player together, or to unlock mini-games, which we have not yet immortalized in Wariopedia .

Who makes something here?

Probably the most important innovation in Warioware: Get It Together! (Buy Now 46.99 €) is the immense difference in controlling the total of 18 characters (the duo protagonists count as a figure). There are quite simple all-rounder stretches such as Wario, Mike or Orbulon, but also some of more complicated skills, including, for example, Penny, which moves and attacks the water tank on their backs and attacks, or 5-volt, whose spirit separated from the body Through the area floats and telepported. The figures are beautifully designed and have varied abilities. The short story sequences are also nice. However, Penny is one of the characters that are rather difficult to control. Source: PC Games The choice of the fighter ensures blatant differences in difficulty, some mini-games are almost with one, banal with another character. However, that is so wanted and should provide even more variety. While this succeeds in part, but in practice nobody wanted to play with Mantis, Penny or 18-Volt, if there are figures that the victory is easier to achieve.

For the ambitious Zocker, after the highest score, the hunting is certainly a motivation, but for the casual player, the new Warioware offers relatively little content, which animates to stay away, even though it seems at first glance as if there were a lot of content here.

Wario Cup, high the ball and more

So what does Warioware still supplies next to the short story mode? For example, the Wario Cup for a player. Here are character choice, game speed and the selection of disciplines in advance, and we try to make as many points as possible. We can enter the online leaderboards (or even watch only) we can only, if we call a Nintendo online subscription our own.

With the reveased coins, we make items that we can give the characters to let them ascend in the level. That does not change their values ​​or skills, but they then get bonus points, depending on the level, if they mix with the Wario Cup. In itself a nice idea, but very few people will probably have the leisure and time, the 18 figures slowly pick up; Only to earn a few points more in the Wario Cup, whereby you then get more coins with which you can liberate characters again. In addition, the disciplines are rarely renewed with only one time a week.

As usual not only the modes in Warioware, where you can alternately, simultaneously or sequentially the micro games, but also a few other types of play. Unfortunately, the congenial drawing game from the Wii-U-Support has not in Get It Together! Built, instead, there is, for example, the balls where up to four players must prevent a ball bouncing on the ground, five and hop, a kind of volleyball, in which often the character election is already decided by victory or defeat and the chain fighting .

The latter is an uninspired copy of Super Smash Bros. In which the figures give each other acidic. In Working Guide Share Up to Four Participants Simple SidesCrolling sections, enemies enemies and collect items to come to the end as a point winner from the Battle.

In Triritorium, winners of a micro games put a flag and claim in triangular areas of the field. This discipline extends the otherwise equal completion of mini-games one behind the other around a slightly tactical element. Source: PC Games All these modes may supply one hour of entertainment, then you have played a lot. At the other modes, the micro-games are the focus, most of them have the categories balloon tension, puck panic and Triritorium - balloon tension, but you already know from the predecessors. After the series, participants play there micro-games, who is not straight on, blows a balloon. As soon as this burst, the one is from the game, which is just trying on the mini-Game.

At Puckpanik, the friends manipulate the mini-game to be completed, they turn or squeeze about the screen. And at tritory, you put a field with your flags to cover the largest area at the end by winning mini-games. Micro-game arena is a classic versus mode, but only a maximum of two players are allowed to participate - a vertane opportunity. Warioware is missing a way to start easily and quickly a flawless match with friends.

And the rest

Behind the missions indicated in the demo is, unlike hopedties, no further story mode with side tasks. Instead, it is quasi about successes. We get coins by surviving about a certain number of rounds in story mode, newly coloring our character, freeze items and titles and so on. One large part is unintentionally done. The presentation of the missions in the form of a confusing text list does not particularly motivate to take a look into the menu more often. The micro games are great again and simply, but not too easy. There are also you in many variants and through the different skills of the 18 game qualities there are also different ways to master the goals. Source: PC Games Of course, you have to talk about the micro games. And these are largely raised over every doubt, especially since they have more flexible, thanks to the different character skills than previously and again, depending on the degree of difficulty have a few variations. So we work out different strategies for different games, depending on the character.

The wild clumsy styles of the games are charming, sympathetic, colorful and humorous, just like the text populations or voice commands at the beginning of each round (example: They should smooch! ). Such a little faecalhumor comes to wear, but never very tasteless and always child-friendly.

For the youngest, however, Warioware could be too stressful, after all, one usually has only a few seconds to fulfill the tasks. For party evenings are taught Get It Together! Quite, even if a proper permanent burner discipline or a simple, addest extraper game in the switch part of the series are missing.

My opinion

Good, but no diligence bies for Warioware

What did I play much Warioware on the GameCube earlier - great times! And from the Orbulon Character in the Wii-U issue, I have already heated enough. Get it Together! Power, what the series has always powered well, but not really more - instead of the different skills of the characters, so nice I really find this gimmick, I d rather have had more. More mini-games, more gripping extraper games away from this mini-gaming, more correct long-term motivation instead of destroying high scores and coins. The jackbox games are focused on older players and focus on the pure mechanics in the foreground as Warioware does. However, Nintendo s series could learn from the competition, how to keep players in the bar, which is really gambled at least one lap at really every game and party evening. Namely with more variety and content, so not after a few hours the feeling that has seen everything seen. That sounds terribly critical now, but does not mean that I was not well maintained by Warios current escapades. But I would like to have longer and especially permanent fun with the game. De facto but I already know that Warioware: Get It Together! After a few evenings with friends in the closet hiking and probably dust there. In favor of other extra games or other micro plays, I would like to have dispensed with a part of the individual game content, such as the Wario Cup or generally the raining of the figures. What I also misses: More nice, small secrets to unlock, just like that was usual. After I discovered all micro games, nothing happened exactly. Since I do not want to exclude that somewhere something is very well hidden, which I have not found so far, I leave this circumstance in the rating times outside.
