    Having previously owned the PC and PS4 edition of Diablo 3 I must admit that I am literally perplexed at how incredibly well this game runs on Nintendo's little machine. It also looks and plays wonderful in undocked mode and is quite frankly a perfect game for gaming on the go.

    Unless you already are bored to death with Diablo 3, you cannot go wrong with this game.

    Let's get this out of the way... the Switch is simply not the graphical peer of its other console and PC versions. And I would contend it actually looks WORSE when docked than in handheld. There are definitely some rough edges graphically.

And I would contend it actually looks WORSE when docked than in handheld. There are definitely some rough edges graphically.

    Another problem is the lack of cross-play, but that was something I knew going in, so I can't be TOO irked about it. Still would have liked to carry my PC characters and jump in, though.

    That said, I still think it has quickly become my platform of choice for the game. Diablo 3 wasn't exactly known for its stunning visuals to begin with, and if you're coming from previous games in the series, you shouldn't be terribly turned off by it.

    Because most importantly, it keeps game performance up. It didn't matter how crazy the action got, I don't recall even the slightest hiccup in frame rate or processing. Blizzard clearly valued frame rate over fidelity, and it was absolutely the right choice.

    Meanwhile, coming from the PC version, I was honestly surprised how much smoother and more intuitive this game was to play from a controller over the PC's mouse and keyboard controls. It felt infinitely more natural, and I haven't felt compelled to touch the PC version in the last week.

    If you don't have Diablo 3 yet, this is the version you should get. Even if you HAVE another version, this is worth double dipping for.    … Expand

    I don't understand the good reviews for this game. Yes the graphics and sound are nice, but the gameplay is just awful. There is no challenge at all! I just walk up to enemies and hold down the attack button. No dodging or blocking necessary - as soon as my health drops a bit it fills right back up thanks to some magic items I am wearing.

This is not fun, it's boring as hell. Yes, there are higher difficulty levels, but those are locked for some reason until I level up my character. I really enjoyed the first Diablo game way back in 1997 or whenever it was released. I think Blizzard severely dumbed this game down for the consoles. I wish I could get a refund but Nintendo doesn't allow that.… Expand

Online play works well, but has no communication or trading between players. You can just zerg together until you hit the highest level content where communication becomes essential. Disappointing neither Nintendo nor Blizzard has a solution for this, so you'll have to look to a 3rd party app if possible. The game is also a battery killer, my Switch gets about 4 hours of mixed on-line and off-line play taking the battery from 100-0%.

    If you've never played Diablo before and enjoy an interesting story action RPG, with lots of variety in classes and equipment, along with endless dungeon crawling, then you'll probably enjoy this game a lot. It's definitely fun and I can recommend it.    … Expand

    I played on the computer and now I'm playing this portable version. And it's a good version, the same good experience I had on PC, with good graphics, good music, nice quests, and a important feature: a lot of languages - subtitled and dubbed - you can download for free from e-shop.

    When beginning the game you choose from one of 7 classes, each with very different play styles. As you play through the campaign your unlock new skills as you level up. Each skill having five modifiers that you can use to your advantage depending on your play style. The customization only goes deeper as you collect loot throughout the game to upgrade your skill set, until five minutes later when you find something better and better, and that loop continues until you are one badass demon slayer.

    Blasting through hordes of enemies in Diablo 3 has never felt better. Such a grindy game is perfect for this portable system. Leveling my character up for hours during my daily commute then plugging in the same character to run rifts with my buddies when I get home, is the what the Switch was made for. Finding a perfect balance of online and offline gameplay, which I have been dying for since the Switch was released. Especially playing a seasonal character, if you create the character and begin playing online, you can grind that character when offline and on the go, earning that coveted seasonal loot all the faster.

    Diablo 3: Eternal Collection on Switch has non-wifi required couch co-op and some special Zelda loot, including Ganondorf’s armor. Which is only cosmetic and quite expensive, allowing you to change the look of your existing armor, not acquire a special set.

    When playing D3 in handheld mode it looks fantastic and it certainly takes its toll as just under two hours of gameplay had my Switch at 30%, so make sure to pack your charger. Before playing handheld I was a bit worried that given the nature of the game, with so much going on, that it would be overwhelming, but that was quickly laid to rest. It feels great grinding through cave after cave of monster mayhem on the go. Even with enemies filling up my entire screen the frame rate didn’t drop, not once.

    Diablo 3: Eternal Collection is absolutely incredible on the Nintendo Switch. If you’ve never played Diablo 3 before, this is the perfect chance to jump into a game that will give you hundreds of hours of gameplay. With the amazing postgame, seasonal support, and addictive polished gameplay it's well worth the buy.    … Expand

It's one of those games that's just a lot more fun when you have human players to play with you. Fast Forward 5 years later and I end up buying it on Switch as a part of a Black Friday deal. I basically just wanted to own a copy of the game and since I primarily play Switch it was the console I wanted it on. Fast Forward 6 months later and I am finally playing the game after playing through my HUGE backlog of new Switch games. I am in love! I love loot and level up games and this is perfect for the platform, the graphics are gorgeous even on Switch and the frame rate is soooo smoooothhhh. The sound is amazing too, it's so cool when you are in a dungeon and you can hear all of the noises surrounding you, it's super clear sounding, no signs of compression! (I have a Denon 5.1 receiver) I love the destruction engine too, things just crumble around you and enemies explode into glorious blood and gore. Well done game, well done port. Looking forward to Diablo 4, but I am taking my time with this one, so no rush. Final verdict, definitely a visual upgrade over 360 and PS3, along with a solid frame rate, the game itself is entertaining and addicting. I would recommend it over the One and PS4 due to it being portable and still looking so good in docked mode. Oh, and most importantly, it is all on the cart!… Expand

However, your mileage may definitely vary. It might well be your favorite game on the Switch. And on the contrary, it might be a big shiny waste of money. Once thing is for sure: it's a flawless conversion of an unashamedly tripe-A game, with a very addictive game loop and enough content to keep you busy for hundreds of hours before you even begin to see the last of it.

    That extreme triple-A-ness, however, is also the reason why Diablo III feels ultimately like a shallow time sink backed by stellar production values. From the comically cliched story (complete with the campiest dialog this side of a direct-to-video movie) to the stubborn refusal to test the skill of the player, this game is very careful never to take any risk of any kind. The story mode is mind-numbingly boring: hour after hour of pressing mostly the same button or two, to wipe out a huge variety of enemies that all feel the same, and barely present any challenge even at the highest difficulty levels. Admittedly, the story mode is just bait for the more meaty "adventure" mode: an endless loop of collecting more and more powerful items to unlock your way to higher and higher difficulty levels.

    There is a lot to Diablo III's addictive "spreadsheets in a fantasy world" approach. It can actually be fun to study and then assemble the best build for your character, collect information on the Internet, turn a puny level 1 mage into walking death for the hapless minions of hell. Especially with friends, it's fun to live the power fantasy of wiping out thousands of big democ baddies before they even become visible on the screen. That same power fantasy, however, ultimately feels slightly draining, like one of those aimless free-to-play games. Like a Marvel megaproduction, Diablo III is fun while it lasts, but it ultimately feels like a colossal pile of pointless content content that's too big to fail.    … Expand

    Portable Diablo was a great idea. Diablo III itself is amazing and on the Switch it is even more so. The ability to seamlessly play between online mode and local play is great. Allows you to play with people who don't pay for Nintendo's online service (locally). Also it's great if you travel a lot like I do.

    If you're not familiar with the Diablo franchise this is an action adventure style RPG where you fight Diablo and the minions of hell. The campaign is great especially the first couple times I played through it (it's even better if you have friends/family to play with). Adventure mode is very addicting. I have a good number of characters with full sets/builds and have somewhere around 600 hours put into the game.

    I do notice an odd glitch now and again. They're rare but they're there. Like I had a greater rift guardian that spawned but wasn't on the map so I had no choice but to quit out. Also I have experienced a few times where enemy projectile animations don't show. All-in-all the number of times I have experienced bugs is less than 20. For how many hours I have put in that's minor but it's there.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well finally after all these years I broke down and bought this on sale because I was bored and wanted a "new" switch game to play.

    Diablo 2 was one of my favorite games of all time.

    Oh my god Diablo 3 is so much worse than I ever could have imagined it to be. What the hell is this? This game was designed for 6 year olds. No character builds, no actual decision making about building your character, NO DIFFICULTY. Seriously I played on the hardest difficulty and never once used a potion, gave up even trying to dodge enemy attacks because they do NOTHING, and just held the A button down in every fight and just demolished everything including every single boss in the game. I literally never even heard a full bit of dialogue from the Bosses because they died before that could happen... ON THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY. Items are all indistinguishable from one another and catered to your character. Heaven forbid the player have to trade for items and whatnot right? Let's just guarantee every character always gets a ton of items. The drop rate for rares in this game is laughable. Literally drops more often than whites and blue items.

    And another point - the story was never a strong suit of diablo 2 for me, but my god is the story cringeworthy in diablo 3. The way they killed of cain was so laughable. You get back to the town, everyone is just chilling, then somehow miraculously there is a group of enemies in the house unbeknownst to everyone standing literally outside the door of this shanty. Then he dies a pointless death and Leah goes on to be useless and so on and so forth. Don't even get me started on the boss voice acting either. Diablo was a menacing enemy in 1 and 2 but in 3 the dialogue I heard (didn't catch it all since you know, diablo literally dies/switches stages within seconds of pressing the a button on him) was so cringeworthy (I am legion, seriously??!) I just... my god just what the hell are they thinking???

    A huge part of d2 was the online play as well, of which d3 has no need for. Pvp is non existent pretty much, the party size is limited to 4, you don't need help on any difficulty finding any items or doing anything really, so what's the point? As far as I know there's also no set items, synergies, runes for items (runes for skills wtf?), you know everything that would make the game make you have to pause and stop just stomping through this dopamine fest on autopilot.

    Anyway that's my Ted talk thanks for listening. Diablo 4 sill suck too - guarantee it. 100% guarantee, I don't have any semblance of what anyone could even remotely begin to consider "faith" in "Blizzard" anymore (it shouldn't be legal for the team to retain this name, this is like when all the original members of an awesome band are far removed from it yet some jokers carry on as the official band and hack their way through songs as if they were some shoddy tribute band).    … Expand

The only 2 games that have come close to being in Diablo's shadow are Torchlight 2 and Path of Exile. But neither of those is on Diablo 3's level. This game is still addicting to this day, and with the addition of the awesome necromancer it's now better. D3 provides countless hours of monster slaying for that next best item you're looking for. Diablo was never about story, so if you go into these types of games for the story you will be let down. Dungeon crawlers are NEVER about story. They are about slaying tons of monsters on screen and getting as much loot as possible. It is mindless yet fun. You have to play for more than 20 minutes if you want any kind of variety in any game...so please ignore Stamantha's 5 rating, because it gives very false information.

    Some like myself wondered how the game would fare on console but Blizzard managed to rework the UI to feel intuitive and comfortable.

    Fast forward and the Diablo 3 comes to the Switch complete with expansion and a few Nintendo specific easter eggs. It's a surprisingly competent port that plays and performs well. It is just as satisfying to play on Switch as it is on PC and now you can slay the minions of hell and protect Sanctuary at home or on the go. The adventure no longer needs to be confined by the walls of your house.

    The upside is the game doesn't need a persistent online connection.

    The screen clutter of enemy hordes makes keyboard/mouse game play more difficult, even with the enlarged pointer option enabled. Also older less dexterous hands like mine find keyboard game play further challenging in terms of hand/finger fatigue (I'm a generation-X gamer). As for the game play itself in my experience I find the legendary item drop-rate statistics to be broken on PC compared to the console version. Getting the same legendary item five times in a row from a rare upgrade is nothing out of the ordinary, sometimes even more. For this reason I seldom find myself going beyond a fresh level 70 character before getting absolutely bored and frustrated. At best I may reach paragon level 100 on PC.    … Expand

Add in the fact that this game is now portable, and you have a recipe for sheer excellence.

    Blasphemous as may be to say, I enjoy Diablo 3 more than its predecessor - the game is entirely focused on making repetitious tasks tons of fun. And unlike many other games in the genre, Diablo 3 provides all of its fun within this base game - item transmogrification is packaged within the game, and does not demand you shell out more money for the sake of aesthetics.

    Diablo 3 on Switch is nothing short of amazing. It is not only worthy of the franchise's storied legacy; it also manages to surpass its original 2012 incarnation by way of its newfound portability, its post-release improvements, and its dedication to balancing new and engaging mechanics with the addictive gameplay loop that made Diablo 2 as beloved as it is. Despite what began as a rocky release on PC in 2012, this game has become something very special, even a decade later, and I cannot recommend it enough to any Switch owner.    … Expand

    The best part of Diablo is certainly its lore and very dark, Gothic atmosphere. It creates a certain fascination for the characters and especially the villains, whose artistic design and staging make them the highlights of the story. Each scenery brings one new facet of the darkness of hell, and conveys a convincing feeling of desolation.

    Gameplay-wise I found the game quite accessible, with standard RPG features like the customization of the equipment, spells and a lot of loot. I have only tried three classes (sorcerer, necromancer and witch-doctor) and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Although one could - rightfully - argue they all represent different playstyles, the core of the gameplay is still fast-paced, hit-and-dodge style, with a slight variation for the necromancer that I found tankier and also protected by its minions.

    The levels of difficulty are quite different. It is pointless to play in difficulty easy/normal where you just go from area to area killing monsters without fearing any of them really. After realizing this, I restarted the game in the fourth level of difficulty (don't remember the name). After one or two first painful hours where I could really feel that the base equipment was harsh for a start in this mode, the game became enjoyable: not too hard, but not too easy either.

    I found the graphical quality to be excellent for the Switch. No framerate drop whatsoever, even in handheld mode, and even when the screen if filled with 50 or more monsters. Very enjoyable.

    The best part of this Switch version is probably the possibility to play the full story in coop up to four players, and each with a single Joy-con if you don't have additional controllers. The single Joy-con play is definitely less comfortable than the pro/double joy-con controls (especially for dodges for which you have to hold the stick down and tilt it), but after a few minutes of practice it is really no problem. Quite an achievement to put all these controls on such a controller and still make it rather comfortable.

    The quality of the cutscenes makes me regret not to have more of them though. There are like 5 of them in the whole game and they are of excellent quality, perfectly immersing the player in the dark atmosphere of the game.

    Highly recommended.    … Expand

    We started the campaign in the standard difficulty setting and after a few hours of pretty much getting through every encounter and the first few bosses without so much as a scratch, we bumped up the difficulty hoping it would add a little challenge but it really did nothing other than to turn every enemy into an unsufferable bullet sponge. Unlocking abilities and leveling up didn't feel very satisfying as most enemies were always easy to defeat regardless of the character progression. The combat itself amounts to nothing but pressing every button in no particular sequence to unleash each of the different abilities, wait for cooldown, and repeat. That's literally it. Story, world, design etc. were all standard cookie-cutter dark fantasy fare, while graphics and level design are fine but equally mediocre and uninspired, which is basically what the entire game amounts to be. I will say that my 10 years old enjoyed himself A LOT more putting in around 50 hours of gameplay time and finishing the campaign and leveling up several different characters, so maybe he is the intended demographic for this type of game, but personally as a 34 year old who has grown up playing all types of RPGs, from JRPGs to western-style RPGs and a big fan of fighting games and hack'n slash games like Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta, having to endure this cliche world and puddle deep combat was often mind-numbing. I've read the game gets better post-game but the idea of playing it enough to get to that stage is completely outside of the realm of what I'm willing to endure as a gamer with a massive back-log of fantastic games I want to play and very little time to play them.    … Expand

Although Torchlight 2 does some things better, Diablo III feels much more polished and still gets regular updates and seasons - 10 years later. I can definitely recommend getting this title on the switch, especially since you can play 100% offline and there's no online requirement like on pc.… Expand

    Just a perfect port for Nintendo switch.The game is a little bit repetitive but you should know it before you buy it.Very fun to play online with your friends and very important that seasons keep coming for the hardcore funs.

    A jam packed adventure filled video game. Fun and extraordinarily repayable. Very worth it and a true highlight in Nintendo's catalog. This game provides everything you need to simply have a good time.

    Good game ruined by stupid decisions. Why make the switch version so much harder?

    Diablo 3 being portable, makes the Switch version the definitive one. Whether you like to play it in short bursts or in long sessions, the portability of the Switch makes anything possible. It really feels great either way. With a stable framerate and graphics that look awesome for a portable console, Diablo 3 gets a new life on the latest Nintendo console. And it rocks once again!

    Diablo III veterans looking to return to the fray will want to give the Switch iteration a try, and for newcomers, this is the ideal entry point. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 72]

    The best and the most complete of all console editions of Diablo III – and you can play it anywhere. Who needs Diablo Immortal? [01/2019, p.65]
