Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Switch 2 Version Is Something Sandfall Thinks Could Be "Interesting"

Sandfall CEO has recently commented on the chances of a Switch 2 version of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

The game runs fine on the deck but visuals do take a big hit. I wonder how Sandfall would port this to the switch 2 if they do.

take the Steam Deck as your base and probably improve it a little bit. DLSS could maybe do more than FSR.

I think Switch 2 can. There are tests that show Switch 2 is better than Rog Ally, and we know Rog Ally is better than steam deck right?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Devs Never Believed Mindset of “Turn-Based Players Don’t Like Action”

Sandfall's CEO admitted that he felt a little burned out by JRPGs and talked about the dilemma with turn-based gameplay.

I like both, it's very much all about execution though. Plenty of turn basedand action games I fine absolutely boring and generic. You need to nail the gameplay and mechanics. Sandfall did something amazing by combining a mix of some of the best combat systems out there and made it real engaging and entertaining for huge turn based fans and even real time.

Parry is also a big one, I think all games need parry lol.

Both are good but you need to balance these factors

I like all types of RPGs- action, pure turn based, hybrid. Quality is what matters to me

Whatever is developers vision works best. Gaming industry is big enough where we can have multiple genre exist

I mean, people have only just f*cking cried about it for ages when things go real-time… who would’ve thunk giving people what they want would make them buy something

In this generation I don't mind turn base if the battle system plays like Persona 5 & Expedition 33. I also enjoyed the 16 year old turn base
battle system in FFXIII which was the Paradigm system.

Chrono Trigger still has some of the best turnbased combat in a JRPG to this day imo. Still gotta play Lost Odyssey but I've heard great things

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PS5) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 brings to life a dark yet colorful fantasy world, with amazing gameplay, meaningful relationships, and a general sense of wonder in one of the decade’s finest games, then paints it bleak with its final unsatisfying stroke. That’s not a fun conclusion to have to draw after being so deeply invested in the title - I badly wanted it to be the incredibly rare 10/10 game that it almost managed to be. Instead, it lands itself as an(other) almost masterpiece; one that feels absolutely incroyable while playing it, but left me with mixed feelings afterwards – and not in the way the developers intended."
