Showing off the pink puffer’s newest journey in greater detail, the footage displayed during the Direct highlighted some of the gameplay elements players can expect to get their hands on:
Kirby’s new Artist ability will allow players to use the world as their canvas, creating unique attacks that take down enemies in creatively strategic ways. And the new Spider ability will allow players to ensnare their enemies, immobilizing them and taking them out of the fight.
Friend abilities look to take the classic co-op found in other Kirby games to a new level, letting up to four players “mix and match abilities,” creating new ways to defeat enemies. Players will even be able to share copy abilities to open new paths throughout their adventure through Dreamland.
But perhaps one of the most interesting additions to the Kirby franchise in Star Allies is the friend heart, a new item that allows Kirby to call in allies and even turn enemies into friends.
