WTMG's Leo Faria: "This remaster of Duke Nukem 3D helped remind me that the original game didn’t become a hit because of its idiotic protagonist. More so because it was a fun shooter that actually managed to stand the test of time, thanks to its fun combat and pristine level design. Being able to finally play a proper port of Duke Nukem 3D on-the-go, with revamped visuals, functional motion controls, and even some extra levels, makes this Switch version stand out from all other previously released versions of the remaster. Not to mention the novelty factor of playing an uncensored version of this game on a Nintendo platform, much to Howard Lincoln’s dismay. Hail to the portable king, baby!"
While Duke Nukem hasn't had a great life over the past decade in the realm of gaming, he's become quite acquainted with the legal system, as another lawsuit that he was involved in has come to a resolution.
"Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour earns my respect with fluid combat and intricate level design. It’s a fantastic port and a timely reminder of the industry’s past. It showcases the foundations which have propped up the industry for decades, how far we’ve traveled since the post-80s action hero games, and which of the design principles remain useful today," Andrew writes for GF365.
