    It's impressive achievement to be playing this on the Switch, the cut downs to get it on there are visible, but the core gameplay loop remains fun even if you're looking through vaseline to get there.

    The Switch port is a technological wonder, but the lower (but stable) framerate hurts the overall experience.

    DOOM Eternal still feels great on the go in its Switch version, but of course, you'll have to be ready to make do with sub-par visuals. Thankfully, Panic Button defined the 30 fps framerate as a top priority, which guarantees a playable game at all times, even if the resolution has to dip very low at some times to keep the frames coming. It's blurry, but it's fast.

    Doom Eternal is decent on the Switch and is a great game overall even with its issues. If you must play this game on the Switch, then be aware of what you are getting. If you can get it on another platform, I suggest you do that.

    The Switch version of Doom Eternal is ultimately a complex beast to recommend. If you’re someone wanting to take on some demons on the go? The lack of an adaptable UI makes it tough to recommend based on the amount of text which is unreadable when in handheld mode. For those players who primarily play Docked, especially if the Switch is one’s primary system? It makes for a far better prospect.

    Doom Eternal on Nintendo Switch is a dream come true. Obviously, there are some technical issues, but the gameplay experience is still frenetic and very enjoyable. [Recommended]

    Panic Button absolutely crushes it out of the park with this remarkable and unfathomable port of Doom Eternal on Switch. Yes the graphics andPanic Button absolutely crushes it out of the park with this remarkable and unfathomable port of Doom Eternal on Switch. Yes the graphics and effects take a necessary hit, and you are playing at 30fps, but make no mistake, this IS Doom Eternal, the full experience, on a little tablet released back in 2016 with a 1.02 GHZ CPU. The game runs at a remarkably stable 30FPS, with very quick load times, responsive gameplay aided by some nifty gyro-controls, and despite the downgrade in graphics, when played in handheld as you dash, meathook, rocket launch and power punch your way through this masterpiece you will feel you are playing the exact same game that is a benchmark for the latest gen consoles and PCs. The fact you can get pretty much the same experience on Switch is nothing short of arcane wizardry, and if you have any interest in Doom or shooters in general, then this is a must buy. I have heard many won't buy because of the lack of physical release, but despite this curious decision by Panic Button (the game is a lean 18GBs and could easily fit on cartridge), these guys still deserve your support because this port must have taken an insane level of dedication and talent to release in the quality state that it did, and in an era where big triple A studios continuously insult fans with half-assed releases filled to the brim with microtransactions and released in a broken state, this type of effort is worthy of the highest recommendation and support.… Full Review »
