What makes a similar game stand out from another? We’ve seen countless fantasy RPGs throughout the years, some trying to leap over the others, and others that reside in the shadow of those more successful.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "At its core, this is still the excellent Mortal Shell we all fell in love with two years ago, but do bear in mind that the setbacks caused by this game being ported to the Switch largely outweigh the pros. The novelty value of playing yet another “impossible port” on the Switch is fantastic, but you will have to deal with unbelievably long loading times and some really poor framerate issues. It’s a good distraction if you’re looking for a soulslike fix on your Switch. Just bear in mind that this is vastly inferior to other versions out there."
Wow this is a surprise release for switch? Maybe its time to port the other souls game and elden ring?
“The novelty value of playing yet another “impossible port” on the Switch is fantastic, but you will have to deal with unbelievably long loading times and some really poor framerate issues.” —> hard pass.
Nintendo needs to update their hardware and modernize basic quality of life features.
Load times isn't on the system, countless amounts of games load insanely fast compared to their computer/PS4/One counterparts. This is an optimization issue (despite the weaker hardware) it always has been.
Not sure what sort of experience ER would end up as, the other Souls games should be ok though.
Mortal Shell - good game
Nintendo Switch - bad hardware
Combine them together and, as usual, you get a lackluster experience.
I was kind of excited to have this on a handheld. Would've been cool to take on the go. But after watching all the performance deep dives, it runs as bad as the new Pokemon game. Maybe worse. Too bad. There were parts were the frame rate drops below 15fps. Not good for a Souls-like game that requires precise button presses.
The switch was lack lustre in power when it came out, nothing has changed, it was made for dumbed down Nintendo kid graphics, trying to get it to play games like MS etc is not what it was designed for.
