Definitely was not expecting for this game to become one of my favorite games of all time. I bought it because I had heard good things about it when it came out waaay back when. That it was a sleeper hit basically. Boy were they right. This game feels like a video game, but in the best way possible. Lot of replayability and it's a blast! You can switch between different classes, and even hybrid classes. You also have a companion that follows you everywhere and helps you out. You can recruit two more "pawns" but those are intechangeable - don't get attached. You'll need to get new ones as you level up. There are a lot of weapons and the world was fun to explore

I'm so glad I bought this game, great graphics, story and game mechanics for an affordable price. This is a cheap skyrim look-alike rpg adventure that is not too difficult to master. It sits in between PS3 and PS4 for graphics and tries to achieves 30 fps succeeding most of the time.

Where was I in 2012 when this game originally came out? I finally dove in with this recently released Nintendo Switch version after years of hearing that it was a great game. Turns out everyone was right! Action RPG with different classes that you can switch between, large open areas to explore, deep combat, and customizable AI-controlled party members that you can share and download over the internet, all in a beautiful fantasy setting. Check it out!

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is easily one of the game I have had the most fun playing on my Switch. The combat is fun, with some situations requiring a little more strategy than others. The game isn't very transparent when it comes to how difficult an area will be when you first enter it, other than being trounced by the local enemies right away if you are under-leveled, but it is easy enough to get yourself up to where you need to be. Overall, 4 out of 5 from me. There's is a lot of fun to be had here, but also some tedium.

I was on the fence about this game for a bit. I had seen all the hype from everyone on the internet and said there's no way this game is that fun....then I played it! yes, the game has its problems and can be a bit janky, but overall I can't stop playing it. the combat is great and the big battles are awesome. and that pawn system is just wonderful! if you were on the fence about this game, I say JUST BUY IT! it is $30 and has a ton of content to keep you busy. it is worth the money

Game is pretty good. It's a bit of a dated game so some of the gameplay mechanics are annoying. It's a game that can be improved in many aspects. If you like arpgs and are ok with dealing with tedious mechanics, if you can get pass that, it's a good game!

Dragons Dogma is one of my favorite games of all time and I was super excited to play this on a handheld console. The port is incredible and plays just like the other versions without a hitch. Don’t skip out on this one.

Great little rpg that I missed out on during it's first releases in the 2013-2014. The port is pretty solid especially in handheld mode but has a few performance issues. Some pop-in and occasional framerate drops in docked mode. The game itself is quite fun for a western rpg from a Japanese studio.

It's a Japanese developer's attempt at a Western RPG they managed to be better in every aspect. Its amazing game who's initial launch was overshadowed by Skyrim. I'm a big Elder Scrolls fan, and I have no doubts this beats everything that series has done. Combat is fantastic. Your choices in character growth matter and actually affect how you'll play. Each playthrough can feel Worlds different from this. There's a reason I've bought this game on 4 of its 6 platforms now. Best part, once you beat it, you're just getting started and basically get another game worth of endgame content without buying more or subscribing to a service. This is a must buy.

I cannot speak more highly of this incredible RPG. It runs beautifully on Switch, the graphics are really beyond my expectations. The game is fast and fun with a great story.

Great port from the original x360 and ps3 game. Refined versus the old versions, this port does the original justice, and the portability of the switch version is unmatched.

Gamers who doubt the capabilities of Nintendo's console should try this game for reference. The Switch version of Dragon's Dogma plays and looks identical to the PS3 version, with only minor graphical pop-up seen in enemies materializing too quickly on the map reminding you that you're playing this excellent action RPG on a handheld!! The game itself is criminally underrated, and the Switch port gives players unfamiliar with the world of Gransys a chance to explore a consistently challenging world that takes multiple replays to fully exhaust. And to get murdered multiple times on Bitterblack Isle.

This is a really fun game, and highly recommended if you never played it originally. The switch is a great home for it. There is a ton to do. Think of Skyrim mixed with Dark Souls a little. The world is fascinating and action very good.

What an amazing open world experience. The game is not perfect, but the exploration and combat are above perfection, thus averaging out to a 5. =] No regrets.

You take control of a character seeking revenge on a dragon who attacked their village. Good graphics and story. It’s a rpg too

Dragon's Dogma is an interesting title that took a while for me to actually get into the game. It starts off a bit slow and a bit hard, but if you stick at it, you'll end up in an action RPG with lots of interesting options, powerful skills, and exciting monster battles. The trick is making it through the early stages of the game. I started, put the game down, then had to pick it up again months later before I truly got into the game. Give it a try, but definitely give it more than a few hours before making your final decision.

Dragons Dogma was a sleeper hit on the PS3 and 360. Its a high fantasy adventure game that has some great action gameplay and combat. Lots to explore in the kingdom you find yourself in as your work towards the showdown with a dragon and more. Now you can take this epic game on the go. Its a single player game so you can enjoy it on your own time.

While you may think Dragon's Dogma is an old game, and it is, its one of few games I can think of that holds up all these years after it's initial release. I like to think of it of Skyrim meets Monster Hunter. If that gets you excited at all, I'd be hard pressed to think of a reason you wouldn't like this game.
