    Being a longtime Dead by Daylight player on Xbox I found this version to be excellent for on the go fun gaming.

    Great port! In-game on the dock it plays like the PS4. Textures are pretty good and the frame rate is solid. I will say that the controls are a little mushy on the cheap switch controllers but the Ethernet access I get from being docked has me at green ping 9/10 games. If you love this game and prefer your switch over anything right now then it’s a must buy.

    Respecto al precio, hay que pensar que incluye cerca de 8 dlcs por lo que el precio estaría justificado, yo lo compré por 35€ y tenia duda tras leer tantos comentarios negativos pero es mucho mejor de lo que lo pintan y los errores que tiene en switch están tambien en PC, PS4 y Xbox, no es algo de la consola.    … Expand

    This game is amazing multiplayer fun! This port is honestly pretty good. The graphics are a little bit blurry, but it never really impacts the gameplay in any negative way. In addition, the performance is pretty solid from the hundreds of hours I've played through.

The graphics are a little bit blurry, but it never really impacts the gameplay in any negative way. In addition, the performance is pretty solid from the hundreds of hours I've played through. I've heard about a lot of lagging and crashing issues on the Playstation version, but I haven't experienced that at all on Switch really. So, all things considered, I think the developers did a good job getting this game running on Switch and I commend them for that. There's a lot of survivors and killers included in this version, and honestly, a lot of the best survivors are the ones included, so if you don't want to make any purchases, you don't really have to. There's a lot of different maps so the gameplay experience never gets stale, and getting different perks and facing off against different killers/survivors is consistently engaging and fun. The sounds and music really add to the scary essence of the game, because they're subtle but can be very chilling. My one complaint with this version of the game would be the brightness. If you play in "Docked" mode, it's not really an issue, but in "Handheld" mode, some of the maps, especially the indoor ones, can be very hard to see in. I recommend you turn the brightness on your Switch all the way up if you're going to play in "Handheld" mode mainly. This game is especially fun if you have friends to play with, because if you're playing as a survivor, random teammates from online can sometimes be selfish and leave you to die on the hook. Luckily though, crossplay has been added since launch, so the queue times usually aren't bad, and you can quickly get into new matches if you lose one. If you want to play as a killer though, it doesn't really matter if you have friends on, though you can play "Custom" matches with your in-game friends, where one of you can play as killer, which is a fun little side mode. If you're looking for a great multiplayer horror game, this is an amazing option that I'd highly recommend.… Expand

    el juego creo que a mejorado mucho tras actualizaciones en la version de la nintendo pero en algunas partes si hay bajones de fps, los graficos estan aceptables en gameplays actuales ya que los antiguos daban mucho asco y aparte esta el sistema de croosplay que no me molesta en lo absoluto ya que en este tipo de juego que seria mas para jugar con amigos no veo tan importante la diferenciael juego creo que a mejorado mucho tras actualizaciones en la version de la nintendo pero en algunas partes si hay bajones de fps, los graficos estan aceptables en gameplays actuales ya que los antiguos daban mucho asco y aparte esta el sistema de croosplay que no me molesta en lo absoluto ya que en este tipo de juego que seria mas para jugar con amigos no veo tan importante la diferencia de 30 a 60 fps con las otra consolas… Expand

    While the Nintendo Switch version is lacking when compared to the other platforms, developer Behaviour Interactive has worked damn hard to fix some issues that may have occurred during the launch and it shows. But I can only recommend this version if you have no other means of playing it. If you have only a Nintendo Switch and this type of game interests you, I recommend it, maybe even with the lights out, headphones on, and volume up.

    Dead by Daylight has the groundwork for a great game but stumbles in its execution. It could be so much more with just a little more polish. Hopefully, it will inspire better products of this variety, because the concept contains a bundle of promise. Horror fans will find a lot to love - as long as they keep their expectations low. Nevertheless, for all its sins it is still quite addictive and undeniably fun, at least in the right conditions. It's easy to see how it has amassed a fanbase and warranted a port to the Switch.

    Dead by Daylight is a bit like those horror films from the 80s of the B, C, or maybe Z series: there is no shortage of flaws and they are obvious, yet its undoubted charm and some excellent results have allowed it to break through the heart of many fans, despite everything.
