Kirby'S Epic Yarn Pc4/27/2021
This Kirby game being on the 3DS instead of the Nintendo Switch might be a head-scratcher to some, but its still just as enjoyable on the handheld-only device.With the improvements Nintendo added that set it apart from Kirbys Epic Yarn which released years ago, Kirbys Extra Epic Yarn is brought further into the traditional Kirby formula while still maintaining its charm.
Those who played the original game when it released for the Wii in 2010 will find that the setup to the string-filled story is the same, but for those who havent, the intro explains why Kirbys now an adorable yarn creation. Kirby'S Epic Yarn Pc Full Of YarnKirby and the rest of his friends have been sent to a world full of yarn by the sorcerer whos aptly named Yin-Yarn, and its up to Kirby and his new friend Prince Fluff to progress through levels and worlds so that they may restore things to their natural order. Using a Yarn Whip to manipulate the environment and progress through levels by unraveling yarn enemies and finding secret passageways, Kirby must try to avoid getting hit so as not to lose the craft beads hes collected. The worlds and stages that contain those beads and enemies are remarkably creative with scenery built from pieced-together yarn and cloth, and each one is full of interesting ways for Kirby to progress. Stitching together a bear and unraveling a fossilized bird to access new areas are just a few of the ways the 3DS game charms players. It helps that every world is also expertly crafted and diverse with players traveling underwater and into space and everywhere in between through some stunningly creative environments. Kirby also has a new tool in Kirbys Extra Epic Yarn called Ravel Abilities, but if youre like me and never played the original, you might find yourself double-checking to make sure these werent a part of the original game. Throughout the various stages, enemies and Prince Fluff will hold abilities above their heads that Kirby can lasso to bestow upon himself a neat hat and, more importantly, a new power. These Ravel Abilities take inspiration from Kirbys traditional powers you cant suck up enemies in this game since Kirbys made of yarn, of course and are the main feature that make this feel more like a Kirby game than ever. ![]() If youre looking for a powerup to pick, the Nylon Ravel Ability that lets Kirby create a whirlwind that sucks up beads and defeats nearby enemies is by far the best option.

Most of the levels are fairly simple since Kirby only loses beads when hit, though there are some stages thatll test your patience if youre trying to get the best score possible while collecting everything and holding onto beads. Either the analog stick or the D-Pad can be used to pilot Kirby as he transforms into a car and other objects with a hard press on the stick or a double-tap on the pad sending Kirby into a dash. The analog stick feels like the better option, but its sensitivity and just a desire to move quicker in levels means youll always be dashing for the most part. Its frustrating when getting used to the controls to continuously bump into walls and watch Kirby bounce off to the platform below, but towards the end of the game, youll be flying through levels. The Devilish Mode does add some difficulty to the game if youre looking for more of a challenge though. Each level including boss fights and bonus missions can be played in Devilish Mode which causes flying devils after Kirby to hinder his progress. ![]() Whats more challenging about this is that the mode actually gives Kirby life points, and losing all of them will end the stage. The mode puts a b it more pressure on players and again makes everything Kirbys Extra Epic Yarn feel more like a traditional platformer.

Dedede Gogogo sees the hammer-wielding character racing through a stage thats constantly moving while collecting beads and avoiding obstacles while Slash Bead has Meta Knight dashing through enemies and stalling for time until the level ends. Completing these games and levels on the Devilish difficulty will award players with new decorations to fill Kirbys pad, but the minigames and extra challenges themselves are the real draw. Kirbys Extra Epic Yarn is simply delightful and is worth picking up for anyone who didnt play the original, though mileage may vary for those who played the original and are looking for a completely new experience.
