    So the switch version is a mess. It is inferior to the other console versions in every way and has a lot of issues. I suggest reading more in depth reviews first before making a decision to buy this version. The one hopeful is that there is supposed to be a patch coming out soon, so hopefully it resolves most of the issues.

    As much effort as Iga put into these games, don't waste your time on this version; you will get none of the true quality of this game. Stick with any other platform.

    The game itself is good - old school Castlevania, but the performance on the Switch version is not good.

    framerates and long loading times made this an easy return for me. if you want to play it now, get it on xbox one or ps4, otherwise you will need to wait for the patch to be released.

    If you are looking to play this game, avoid the Switch version at all costs! It runs incredibly poorly and is almost unplayable.

    A little disappointing to see that 505 Games didn't care as much for the Nintendo community. This game would be absolutely awesome in a handheld device (if it had been ported correctly of course).

    A lot of hype has been going around for this game and I really liked the castlevania series. While I know this is not castlevania, the design concept was heavily modeled after it. Needless to say I didn’t like it.

    Not worth buying on switch because the graphics are terrible. I returned and bought on my ps4 pro instead. Looks and plays much better!

    It's a great game...if you get it on a different system. PS4, PC, whatever. Just avoid the Switch version.

    The switch version is the worst of all the platforms it was released on, laggy, it doesn’t look graphically nice as the other versions.

    Poor shipping

    Game came with a free steelbook as a promotion. First, the steel book was for the PS4 version even though I bought the Nintendo Switch version and had a cheap plastic insert in it to fit a Switch cartridge (which didn’t even fit). The steelbook was completely destroyed because it was shipped in a little bubble envelope (doesn’t take much pressure to bend the metal). Was going to return but didn’t want to deal with the hassle, threw the steelbook away. Won’t be doing anymore of these preorders or promotions from Best Buy.

    I really wanted to enjoy this game on Switch. Unfortunately, this game should have been worked on longer to, as it is a beta copy. Just wait for confirmed patches before buying.
