    The game has personality and is quite fun.
    The game has its downsides.
    its an alright game.
    I enjoyed the game, but if you want it, then i suggest you wait until the game is fully patched.
    EDIT: the game's framerate has been pretty good and i haven't noticed any bugs except that one time the game froze, but besides that I think anyone with love for JRPG will enjoy it.

    What could have been a great port to a game that is perfect for playing on-the-go is marred by terrible frame rates. Menus and dialogue scenes seem to run at normal frame rates, but dungeon exploring and battles look like complete dirt when the framerate can dip as low as what looks like 20fps (even if you turn off shadows, which is an improvement but still not as great as it could be).What could have been a great port to a game that is perfect for playing on-the-go is marred by terrible frame rates.

Interestingly though, the frame rate during combat animations for skills and fairizing seems to skyrocket to near-60fps, so I'm beginning to think that whatever shader is used or the size of the environment textures are at fault (which should have been addressed when porting this game over). It's almost as if they automated the entire process and just shipped the game out as-is, because I doubt anyone who tested this port could have been satisfied with the end result. The worst part of about all of this is how there is no refund for you if you bought this expecting a smooth gameplay experience.

    Unless you are okay with terrible frame rates during combat and dungeon exploring (which you will be doing about 50% of the time), I would avoid this version of the game and go for the PC or PS4 version.    … Expand

    Overall, this still needs a lot of work before I can recommend it. While the visual novel like sections and the UI are crisp on the Switch, the actual gameplay runs and looks bad. The only reason you should consider getting this game on Switch is if you absolutely need portability over everything else.

    It comes highly recommended to fans of harem style shonen anime stories and JRPGs but, in the state that it is in at time of writing, with a reservation that if portability is not a huge factor, it is better experienced on PS4 or PC, if those are available options.

    If you’re not well-acquainted with Compile Heart’s shenanigans and you don’t have a vested interest in the franchise, then the Switch version is perhaps not the most seamless introduction to the universe of Furies and Fang.
