Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Another great port for the Switch!
Here we have another awesome port for the Switch. This version does have slightly upgraded visuals (not as good as PS4/Xbox but that’s to be expected). It also comes with the Artorias of The Abyss DLC. For Dark Souls veterans this is a welcome port as you can play Dark Souls anywhere. For new players this is a great way to get introduced to the Souls series as it is the complete package for Dark Souls. Gameplay wise Blighttown has ZERO frame rate issues whatsoever. The games plays wonderfully on the Switch at a very steady 30fps even in Blighttown. Also the graphics and visuals were much better than anticipated. Online also works well. Servers appear to be pretty stable, and I have noticed little to no lag when playing online with others or when invaded. Overall it’s a great port for the Switch & I highly recommend it to Dark Souls veterans as well as newer players who want to try it for the first time.

Classic game, dread inducing in the best way
It’s a classic. It looks a little downgraded and runs well. Audio is tinny and compressed, but it somewhat adds to the cryptic charm of the game. Weird button bindings (to match the “shape” of the other consoles, look it up) being Overall solid port.

Great game if you like a challenge!
This port of dark souls runs really well on the switch and makes it possible to play dark souls literally anywhere. It doesn’t get better than that! Definitely a really hard game but it’s very rewarding
