    It's really a shame but this is a very poor port of an otherwise good game. Poor visuals, glitches, and the worst of it is the input lag. Certainly recommend the game, but not this version.

    The game it good but run fairly poorly on the switch. It's still playable but if you have another system play it on that or play something else and see if a future patch improves the game.

    Bloodstained is a very good game, but looks and performs abysmally on the Nintendo Switch. Character models are muddy, especially during storyboard conversations, and the game as a whole is a noticeable downgrade from PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It's still fun but even with the graphical hiccups it still suffers from constant framerate issues during combat. If this is your only option, I'm sure you'll deal with whatever issues you come across, but if you can play it elsewhere then I'd strongly advise doing so. This version is... rough.
