After playing the main campaign and hearing this was a meaty DLC I took the plunge and gave it a go immediately after. I noticed when playing they have kept true with the charm and graphics of the main game despite the different environment which I loved.
You play as Donkey Kong and Rabbid Cranky which were very unique in play styles and added a tactical play which is familiar yet fresh. The level design and leveling up seem to be more diverse yet more focused then ever.
Downsides I would say is, you cannot choose which party members to bring to a battle. I did not expect a choice of 8, but having Diddy Kong or Rabbid Dixie would of been a perfect inclusion.
For the DLC you get about 50% more QUALITY content to the main campaign. Being about 1/3 of the price makes it a great deal, better still, try to get the Gold Edition if you can

The major expansion to one of my 2017 GOTY picks was an outstanding example of DLC done right. The adventure still had a quick and expertly paced difficulty curve, and the excellent jokes and humor made me remember how much I loved the core game. Strong bosses and some genuine challenge made this a can’t miss DLC experience.

Surpasses the original Kingdom Battle by the tacit assertion that this scale and these mechanics make better bedfellows. It’s such a nice pairing, having learnt from the original and pared the components down, Donkey Kong Adventure meanwhile opens up the strategy and movement around fields, albeit overpowering its central characters, proving out through a new campaign and even harder challenges that less is most certainly more. There are more of the iffy puzzles, like the original, but the non skippable ones are joyous and painless, and the kind that always seemed to halt progress in the original, now feel like extra work for extra rewards, a suitable compromise. The game also just looks great — the Mario + Rabbids style even more at home in the Donkey Kong world than in the Mushroom Kingdom. Perhaps one of the finest DLCs for a Non-Nintendo developed game on a Nintendo system, this is an essential have on the Switch, ironically even more so than the original game. It ought to be sold separately.
Solid standalone campaign that offers the main game's quality in a tighter package.
+ well-designed trio of main characters who play well together with their mostly new abilities
+ fun map design that makes great use of different mechanics
+ more optional puzzles
+ beautiful tropical setting
+ very smooth albeit low difficulty curve
- rigid party composition without any unit additions whatsoever

I can tell this has a ton of easter eggs and references for Donkey Kong fans, but I'm not super into Donkey Kong so I feel like I'm missing out on the fanservice aspect here. Still excellent, the unique abilities of Donkey Kong and Rabbid Cranky lead to fascinating level design and challenges. And the soundtrack is excellent as is weirdly enough standard for these games.
Terminei o jogo base com um sorriso no rosto o tempo todo. Um tempo depois peguei o DLC em uma promoção, mas não tinha conseguido voltar ainda até então.
O DLC é mais curto, mas mantém o humor da série e introduz o Donkey Kong que possui uma habilidade que transforma bem a estratégia das batalhas. Foi muito bom retornar ao mundo que mistura Nintendo e Rabbids.
