Don't let this intimidate you! One of the best and most rewarding games of the last decade. It is very difficult but you will slowly learn how to survive and overcome the many challenges. Not for the faint of heart if dying over and over frustrates you too much.

It's extremely hard and runs great. Basically it's darksouls.

Very hard game but not impossible you need time which thats why I think the SWITCH is the best console for the game. The only drawback I noticed is the audio is mono compressed sound its not stereo. If you are looking for the best audio and graphics experience look to another console. Other than that this game is the whole package

This is, in many ways, identical to Dark Souls for other platforms, aside from a few downgrades: - 30FPS capped - Compressed audio, only really noticeable on TV or sound system speakers If you can take those caveats, this is a great game to have on the go.

The people who made this game are evil. It’s difficult in the best way. Having it on the go means you can pick up and play through out the day. Could not recommend this enough

First the bad, there's frame rate drops, especially in blight town if you played it before you know how annoying this was. The good, is that if you wanted to play dark souls on a airplane or trip then this is perfect. Haven't had the chance to play online yet since you need Nintendo Online for that but it's not deal breaker.

Played it, had a blast. First time playing a souls game. Always wanted to play it, so I wanted to see if they would put it on switch and they did! Bought it and finish it! It’s a hard game but loved every sec of it!

Used to play Dark Souls on PS3 and glad I have a version on the switch. Difficult game and some mild improvements. Looks great in portable mode, especially the lighting. Fire effects are jarring as it doesnt look good now, but most of the rest of the game has been retained. Hope it continues to receive updates and fixes.

This game is pretty tough but once you learn the mechanics and get more confident this game really opens up. The sense of accomplishment after defeating these epic bosses is truly satisfying and being portable makes it even better!

For those who haven't played "Dark Souls," this is the perfect version of the game to start. Not as pretty as the other console versions, but what can beat playing Dark Souls on the go and getting frustrated and angry in public?

The main perk of this game on the Switch is that it is portable (and of course on Nintendo) but the drawback here is that it's not very optimized. Compared to the other systems (PC / Consoles) it definitely has a graphically downgrade and the FPS just isn't very stable at many places. This has caused me to dislike the game more than I normally would. Now don't get me wrong, if you only have a Nintendo Switch and want to try out Dark Souls or have it portable, then by all means I think it's worth getting. But if you have access to buy it on another platform, then I feel you will find it more enjoyable due to how they didn't optimize this port properly.

The Dark Souls you know and love. I haven't played any of the other remastered versions, but this is exactly how I remember playing it several years ago. Of note, I've encountered 0 noticeable frame drops (even in Blighttown).

Now you can hate your life on the go now. Same terrible punishing experience in a handheld package

They managed to really put this game on the go and it looks amazing, It runs great with most of the glitches and issues removed from the original game, can't go wrong with this if you wanna replay the original Dark Souls.

This is my first time playing dark souls and I have to say I've rage quit a lot, but I always come back to keep playing it. Definitely love how difficult this game is.

I'm about half way though and really enjoying this game. Not for the player looking for an easy game though as you will die a lot till you learn your enemies well. If you like a challenge then this is definitely for you!

Having almost beaten the game already, I can confirm it runs beautifully on the switch. Stable 30 FPS (even in Blighttown). I forgot how amazing this game really is.

This is a modern classic that you can now play on a portable console! Sound quality isn't great and there are some frame-pacing issues, but for the most part it's a stable 30 FPS and is a great joy to play.

Ive been wanting to play the original Dark Souls for a long time and being able to find the Remastered version for Switch was a great deal for me. The game is great and can't wait to progress in it.

I’m a huge souls fan. Bloodborne was my all time favorite game on the PS4. I love that I get to see the day that we can take a souls game on the go!!
