I highly recommend playing on another platform first. The game still shines, but not as bright on the switch due to hardware limitations, but it is mobile. So that’s the trade

Good game overall, but not as good as other versions, but but it’s portable, but but but it’s not really a game that you play in short bursts...so overall it’s a good game, not great, but good.

Not the greatest version of this game, even though the developer did post some new patches that helps the frame relate and experience. Definitely for fans of fallout in space!

Purchased for my son when on sale for $19.99. He hasn’t fully finished the campaign but says it’s a lot of fun. Kind of a combo of Fallout meets space. He recommends it.

Great little game for the switch. Has some major frame rate drops but I knew that before purchasing. Works better on TV then hand held. Not the best for brightness. Best played in darker atmosphere.

A good game in my opnion, although its graphics might be mediocre to decent, its story and game progression is still one of the best, the funny and sad dialouges of characters to the fighting of regular enemies i love it all from a classic obsidan game

Graphics are subpar on the switch, but being able to take it on the go is a plus. As far as the game over all, it’s like Fallout in space. So if you enjoyed Fallout you’d like this.

This port took a hit on the graphics department, however if you dont mind that and would like to take the adventure on the go, then pick this up on a sale price.

Good, fun shooter and graphics. But difficult to play because you have to be stealthy otherwise you will get buried with enemies shooting at you all at once.

It's remind me playing Fallout New Vegas; the story is interesting and the gameplay is like Xbox 360, but it's the graphic is not so good. But I have fun playing with it.

Very fun. The mechanics are a little rough to get at first after awhile not too bad. Enjoying for a different genre of game I usually play.

Although I LOVE this game on PS4 and Xbox one X... on the Switch it just really isn't good... the graphics have been SO dulled down for the switch may as well be early ps3, it's laggy as all get and the movements are an odd mix of really clunky or suuuuuper jumpy. Do yourself a favor and get it for a real console, not the Switch.. it jusy can't handle that big and detailed of a game. Happy playing!

Love this game. Became hopelessly addicted and spent way too much time on it. Fun to play whether you suck or are great at playing video games
