    40$ for a 0$ game. Only buy if you love getting ripped off.

    Don't get me wrong. I've purchased the game on the PC and it's AMAZING. One of the funniest and most entertaining adventure games I know. Still, I didn't pay anything for it (got it in one of the MANY giveaways), but I would love to see it with 5$ price tag( or 10$, if I'm desperate) 40? That's just preying on naive people,    40$ for a 0$ game. Only buy if you love getting ripped off.

That's just preying on naive people, and I have no interest in being a part of that.

    This game goes around on PC for FREE. On a bad day you can buy it for a few dollars. Pricing it at 40$ is an obvious attempt on getting people buy it at a permanent sale and it's a cash grab. Sorry guys, your game is great, but your marketing practice is vomit-inducing. It almost makes me wish I never purchased any of the products.

    tl;dr -publisher is greedy; get it on PC, otherwise you're getting ripped off.    … Expand

    Nono, the game breaking bugs are understood for abandonware from 1991 not for 40$ Switch game, buy only if you wanna play it following walkthrough and save often cause you might end up in the dead end because of the "Halogen light" bug.

It's much easier then dialing up on AOL and posting a question to some message board and waiting days for someone to tell you how to solve a problem in Space Quest that you already know the solution to, but don't know the exact wording. But the reason it's easier is the fact that GameFaqs exists.
    I did have a few bugs and freezes, but luckily I went in and out and didn't lose much progress. Nothing game breaking for me.
    If you never played these types of games before, I doubt this will make you a fan of the genre. For old school fans who know what they're getting into, there's enough to enjoy - especially if you get it super cheap like I did.    … Expand

    Old style adventure game. Great graphics, amazing animations, very good voice acting. Interesting story, a lot of good humor. When game was released price was pretty high but they lower price. Well done port for nintendo switch. Works well. Im a big fan of "Deponia" from now. Thank you for this game.

    It's a really bad port of not bad game. First of all, it full of different bugs. Several times I had to restart the game to proceed. Also, sometimes it's unclear what you need to do because you missed some triggers. You can't understand it until you check a walkthrough. One more thing, game controls in puzzles just stuck sometimes. So you have to exit and start it again. There is no way toIt's a really bad port of not bad game.

    Second - inconvenient controls. There is a touch screen on the console, why developers didn't add support for it?

    Well, I skipped it after it stuck almost at the end of the game. I guess, better to play it on other platforms. Bought with a good discount, but it wasn't worth it    … Expand

    Deponia es un clásico del género de aventuras gráficas que llega a nuevas consolas con este port. La historia es interesante, y llena de humor de forma continúa, y los protagonistas son muy buenos personajes. Hay que destacar que el género es comedia, no esperes una historia seria o profunda. El sistema de juego es el habitual en este género (point & click), y está bien adaptado a consola.Deponia es un clásico del género de aventuras gráficas que llega a nuevas consolas con este port.

El sistema de juego es el habitual en este género (point & click), y está bien adaptado a consola. A nivel visual y sonoro cumple de sobras, y aunque se le notan los años, encaja a la perfección con la propuesta jugable. El port está bien realizado, no he tenido bugs en toda la partida. Lo mejor es el humor, muy bueno y acertado en ciertas situaciones. Lo peor es que a veces la resolución de los puzzles no es muy intuitiva.… Expand

    In its current state, the Switch version has no touch screen support. This is very disappointing given the platform and its various input options are perfectly suited to games in this genre. Thimbleweed Park is the best example of how to handle bringing the genre to Switch. The Switch version of Deponia also has some inconsistency with A and B for selecting. Usually, games that see late ports to Switch and cost more have a few added extras. Over here, you aren’t getting anything extra barring the asking price.

    With lovably odd characters, a fantastic art design, and a really engaging style of gameplay, Deponia shows what a modern point and click game should be. Despite a steep incline in difficulty that may catch a few players off guard, Deponia’s highlight is its character design and writing, and you can expect to be entertained throughout.

    Deponia is a fine example of the genre, but there's no getting around the fact that the game's price on Switch will be your main barrier to entry here. It plays well and has that charm that Daedalic is famous for, and it constantly reminds you of the Monkey Island series – no bad thing at all. But when you're able to find the same game for under a quid if you look hard enough – and you take into account that this Switch version has no added benefits – it becomes harder to recommend. You'd be better of waiting for a price drop, or, if you're still interested, investigate if Deponia is available on an alternative platform at a cheaper price.
