    It's an Action JRPG with hints of Digimon and Tokyo Xanadu.

    I've only just started but it's very typical, pointless, Japanese dialogue. No thrilling intro, or anything. It has a nice combat system and the graphics and sound are nice but expect budget level. It looks like it's going to be just enough to keep me entertained but that's about it.

It's not screaming amazing game but it's also not dire and needing to be uninstalled. It's a bit Warriors like in the kill everything on screen kind of thing, rather than the SAO fight a few at a time.

    It's quite hard to review because it is really mediocre but kind of likeable too. I really want to like it, so hopefully things will get more exciting and I can come back and up the score. For now, 7/10 is the most I can give.    … Expand

    it's a nice and entertaining beat 'em up, the battles are intense(maybe not at the begining but later it is) and it's replayable!.

    Brought this on sale for my switch OLED to play on the go. It’s pretty simple to pick up without much of a story or complex in-game mechanics. This pros are:

    1) good combat mechanic
    2) good combo mechanic

    Negatives

    1) limited game story
    2) slow pacing of game in between battles you’re forced to walk around empty map areas such non interactive & basic mock up of NPCs.

    Dusk Diver acknowledges its inspirations and does it right, presenting a slick visual environment and quality animations. At the same time, its too simplistic and repetitive combat system is sub-par, aggravated by fluidity problems that make the experience less enjoyable and the overall sense of linear progression make Dusk Diver on the Nintendo Switch an average effort. Perhaps more time in the development process would have made Dusk Diver a more enjoyable experience.

    Dusk Diver is a nice game with certain performance issues that with a little more effort to polish the combat, the story, the sound effects and adding a little more content could have become a great Japanese role-playing game.

    Dusk Diver is a game that promises a lot with it’s gorgeous visuals, but the combat ultimately falls short. Its basic combo system and missable story are not enough to even come close to some of this year’s stellar action titles.
