The sixth installment of a series launched in 2003. Mario & Luigi: Brothership combines mechanics from RPG and arcade games. The titular brothers explore the vast world of Concordia, co-operating with each other, performing quests and completing turn-based battles.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is the sixth main part of the series of games with RPG and arcade elements, launched in 2003. Unlike previous installments of the series, created by the AlphaDream studio that existed from 2000-2019, this game was developed directly by Nintendo, the company overseeing the brand.
As the title suggests, the main characters of Mario & Luigi Brothership are the brothers Mario and Luigi. The protagonists find themselves on a piece of land known as Shipshape, which is partly a ship and partly an island, from where they go on a journey around the vast world of Concordia. Our heroes experience various adventures and meet both old acquaintances from the Mushroom Kingdom, like Peach or Bowser, as well as completely new characters, led by Connie and Snoutlet.
In Mario & Luigi Brothershipwe watch events from various angles. The adventure leads us through colorful locations, among which we will find tropical forests and bustling cities, and its driving force are the quests assigned to us by the characters we meet along the way.
While completing subsequent missions and rushing around Concordia, Mario and Luigi must constantly cooperate. Only by working together can they solve environmental puzzles, as well as face platform challenges requiring agility and reflexes.
They also regularly face opponents on their way. Although the combat system implemented in the game is turn-based, it is diversified by action elements. If we want to perform a powerful attack or dodge, we have to press specific buttons at a specific moment.
The graphic design of Mario & Luigi Brothership is maintained in a cartoon style.

TheGamer: 4.5 / 5 by Eric Switzer
This is the first Mario & Luigi on Switch and it very much feels like the series’ first big-budget home console entry. It's so much bigger than any of the older games, not just in terms of play time, but in terms of ideas too. The only bad thing about Brothership is that it sets the bar so high there’s no going back to the originals now.
Screen Rant: 7 / 10 by Carrie Lambertsen
Even with these negatives, however, this is a game that I truly loved playing. The story, fun abilities and skills, the citizens of Concordia, and more all came together to make this a really fun experience. Mario and Luigi are both perfectly portrayed, with Luigi having more of a chance to be a hero than he often gets, and Princess Peach is as much a symbol of charm and heroism as ever. I truly hope that Mario & Luigi: Brothership will serve to usher in many more games in this series in the future.

Brothership is a fun time, but has frustrating moments. It's not an easy recommendation like Paper Mario, but you'll have a good time nonetheless.
