    I am addicted to this game on switch. It's something about being able to play it undocked late at night smashing all the enemies and feeling glorious. Also adventure mode is unlocked from the start and it makes the game even more awesome! Must buy

    Best switch port to date. Great graphics, performance, and UI, the story is meh, but it's mostly just about the game-play which is fantastic. It's just is a really fun game to play. Runs wonderfully on the Switch!

    An amazing adaptation and feat to get this game to run so buttery smooth on the machine. An amazing, amazing port.

    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.

    Wow, this game rocks. I played it a little bit when it was re-released on Xbox One, but only for an hour or so and I thought it was super cool. But I just never had the urge to play it again. 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.

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

    A great RPG that consumes the player with a vast amount of class, armor, and weapon variety. Fight your way through dungeons alone or with friends. A dark and mystical story isnt much, but its enough to give you a reason for the grind, and the world around you. Would HIGHLY recommend!.

    Its very surprising to see Diablo 3 a Blizzard IP on the switch, But its even more surprising to see it run at 60 fps constantly and a good resolution! If you are a fan of loot based games, RPGs, or online multiplayer, This is the game for you! As a PC gamer, i gladly say this is the best way to play Diablo 3 without a doubt.

    I never thought a Diablo game would come on the Nintendo Switch, but the 3rd game is amazing, it has pure graphics, a wonderful gameplay, and also a Diablo amiibo which i am baffled enough to say it looks good, it's functionally is great, and I bet it works on SSBU. Also Ganandorf from TLOZ is in the game, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

I travel for work and to have this portable on the Switch is the perfect solution! If you've never played it is great 'leveling' fun.

    An astonishingly refined, accessible and lengthy video game that is possibly the best ARPG I have ever played. Diablo 3 on the Switch benefits immensely from the years of effort put into fixing the issues that initially prevented it from meeting its full potential as an isometric ARPG. Add in the fact that this game is now portable, and you have a recipe for sheer excellence.An astonishingly refined, accessible and lengthy video game that is possibly the best ARPG I have ever played.

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

    I played this game for over a thousand hours on my switch. Any complaints I may have are far overshadowed by this fact. This game is really fun, and there is a good community on discord that makes finding groups easy for end-game content. The game is constantly updated each season too.

    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. Can still play even if you're going from terminal to plane to terminal and so on.Portable Diablo was a great idea. Diablo III itself is amazing and on the Switch it is even more so.

    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

    Works perfectly on the Switch Lite. If you use your Switch for travel mode and plan on playing the endgame properly I would recommend choosing one of the easier builds like Whirlwind Barbarian because being so small, it's hard to see your buff icons drop off.

    The kill-loot rewarding system has never felt better. And it's not just grinding. It is a true RPG regarding story and so many stats to get lost into. Different characters with completely different play stiles will make you sink tens of hours if you live ARPGs.

    Myślałem, że diablo na nintendo switch będzie słabo chodzić przez swoje ograniczenia konsoli. Ale jest bardzo dobrze zrobiona nic się nie wiesza, grafika ładna - Blizzard zrobił dobrą robotę. Diablo chyba nikomu nie trzeba przedstawiać, można tylko powiedzieć warto kupić!

    Oddly enough, this game is the prefect match for the switch console. Do a bit of dungeon crawling turn it off and continue whenever you have the time, absolutely fantastic match.

    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.

    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

    Regarding the control, i feel like console control are better than PC controls, directly controlling with the stick feel a lot better.

    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!
