Jun 18, 2018I used to be a Fortnite hater until I played about a dozen 4man squad rounds and I really love it and find non building battle royales a lot less dynamic than Fortnite. I hope someone else takes this and builds on it!
-
Jun 18, 2018Been playing this quite a lot lately at home but also played it several times on my Switch @ a local coffee shop. This is the most versatile version ever of Fortnite. Even with a phone, there's no joycons, meaning that in portable or tabletop mode you can finally play this game decently and with some excellent graphics.10/10

Oct 17, 2018I got excited and I played it. It is very impressing and I had so much fun due to it being portable and basically being the mobile port with controllers to it with better graphics.It has t port I had ever to be the best port I had ever played

Aug 1, 2018The very best multiplayer game on Switch. I didn't think that is possible to port Fortnite on Switch. It seems the console is powerful enough
-
Sep 10, 2019The best game I have ever played. Very interesting and exciting. This game should try everybody
-
Oct 18, 2019Very good port! In season 1 of the chapter 2 works very good. Good graphics, good Light, good detalization.

Mar 1, 2021very good helpful and game to have fun the game has a unique experience of building and yes it is a shooting game but no blood and just fun their is different game mode like a creative sandbox mode where you can do anything and let you mind take off. their is also skins and cosmetics you can get the games awesome.

Aug 31, 2023能把这样的游戏在SWITCH上优化到这种程度,牛逼。顺滑。

Jun 19, 2018It's a good version of the game and compared to the iOs Version you have proper controls even with the standard joy cons...

Jun 21, 2018It's free! And a good shooter to boot! I'm having fun playing this game. Even with it's performance issues like occasional in game hiccups or what not. Plus, I can play with other players on other platforms too (except PS4) if I wanted to!

Sep 1, 2020Awesome game. Updates every week or two. Hell-ton of game modes and things to do. And one of the very few shooters that is actually playable on switch.

Nov 14, 2021I definitely recommend

does not bother.

Jun 12, 2018Fortnite's polished gameplay and visual charm stands out from the hordes of other zombie games that have arrived in the past few years. To make matters worse, it feels too focused now it's held back by an invasive microtransaction model and design imperfections that keep it from being another trophy for Epic Games. Fortnite: Battle Royale is a great play for anyone.

Jul 13, 2018After I wrote my review of Fortnite for the Xbox One, I decided to give it another chance when it came to the Switch. When I started playing it, I realized that its more than just a cash grab, it’s a fun cash grab. This game is actually quite fun and I would recommend it for anyone who likes playing these battle royale games.
-
Aug 29, 2018This is overall a good port for Switch. The 30fps dosn't bother me that much and it's still Fortnite. Now all we have to do is wait for Save the World.

Jun 13, 2018Ns version is very good! However, it does not support somatosensory sensation and hopes to update the somatosensory function as soon as possible. It would be even better if Chinese were supported.
-
Jun 13, 2018The real fortnite on the go
Fortnite feels right at home on switch due to its excellent controls and good visuals. This is the real deal. It is truly fortnite on the go -
Jul 13, 2018It is Fortnite. A great early access game with a slight quality dip which is okay except when a sniper can somehow see you but you cant see them without a sniper of your own. Still an overall fun experience though!
-
Jul 21, 2018Great game! I'm surprised how well it was optimized to run in Switch. I did not believed such game can look good on switch, but it does. Keep the good work Epic!
-
Dec 3, 2018Well, I sure was wrong! This game is amazing! Though it isn't beginner-friendly, I realized that motivates you to keep trying and "git gud." Though I haven't gotten any wins yet ( as of writing this), it's still really fun and I really recommend it. The long download time is definitely worth it.
-
Apr 28, 2019Revert the "no shield per kill' update and you got yourself a good game
-
Apr 18, 2021The game is great.
I play it on nintendo switch and really enjoy it.
The only problem with the game is that the 80% of the community are little kids and there is no way to get a decent skin but mothers credit card and kids who cant buy skins are being bullied in school but fortnite do not give a chance to get a free skin.
the game it self is great -
Feb 7, 2021Wanted to post this where since the majority of reviewers realise this isn’t minecraft and start screaming their faces off, the gameplay can be fun and varied and can also be quite unique each game, don’t be put down by negative reviews, it’s a bunch of crybaby’s who don’t understand that people can have different opinions than theirs
-
Jun 24, 2020I like this game. But now I think Epic Games trying kill game. I want back fortnite to 2 season 1 charapter

Sep 19, 2020Es un juego bastante bueno, pero la eliminacion de algunas cosas como el mapa anterior y las armas preferidas de la comunidad no ayuda al juego. Ademas la comunidad se a vuelto bastante toxica ya que son puros niños rata de 10 a 12 años que arruinan el juego, n

Apr 12, 2021Man i think its like one of the best 3rd person shooters and i love it to play with friends but this season is actually ****
-
Sep 22, 2021This might be a little controversial, but i really like this game. I of course liked it a ton more back in the day a few years ago when everyone played it. The game also looks like ass on switch but that's the console i use most often so i play it on that. Fun game, needs some improvement :)
-
May 5, 2022This is a well-done port. You can put tons of time into it. You’ll die a lot, of course, but collecting weapons and shooting enemies is an entertaining experience.
-
Jun 21, 2022Honestly this game is good I like it’s no build mode but we all hate the community and it is way too popular I know

Extra Notes: The first game I think I ever played with a controller. At it's peak it was amazing, and I have very fond memories of this game -
Feb 25, 2023I love playing with friends and the icon series of scums is really cool how they got people like ninja and mr.beast to be in the game
-

Sep 7, 2023For me, the game on the switch feels way better than on ps4 because I can hit Zr for example and place stairs instead of scrolling with L1 and R1 and scroll to stairs then place R2.
-
Jun 18, 2018Really good port that could be even better with some optimizations Im sure Epic will deliver
A really refreshing experience considering Switch lacks shooters -
Jun 14, 2018Switch's Fortnight is still Fortnight. And that's fine, but unless you were actually dying to play it away from home and have no qualms about starting over from scratch (thanks Epic) then stick to the version you already own.

Sep 27, 2018I mean it's Fortnite, there isn't much to say about it. It's free, so feel free to have the game on all platforms. On a positive note, you don't need an online membership to play the game, so that's a plus.
-
Nov 15, 2018FORTNITE is a fun game, not one I take seriously, it's not meant to be taken seriously unless you are insanely good and compete in competitions, but I am not that good at it, a very fun game with a group of friends, not so fun for me by myself, not the type of game I usually play but fun with a group of friends.
-
Jun 6, 2019Fortnite is not a bad game but it's only a Battle Royal on Switch. It is worth downloading if you just got a Switch considering its free but its not a game that I would see myself playing for hours when there are hundreds of other amazing games on the Switch!
-
May 25, 2020Fun but dont play in switch if you can avoid it. 1100 ping is not fun (that's the max number that will register on the switch) 30fps also bad. Best part is that everyone on switch is a bot.
-
Jun 11, 2023When I first played this game, I was bored out of my mind the whole time, as I felt that barely anything was happening. However, As I continued to play, I actually began to have some fun with this title. Now, I can say that this game is actually not that bad. It's not fully my cup of tea and certainly not something I'd play everyday, but I can understand why so many people genuinely enjoy this.

Jul 1, 2020el juego pudo ser mejor disfrutable la verdad el juego se podia ver un poco mejor e ir a 60 FPS

Nov 17, 2021This n9t the prettiest version of the game but it is Awsome to have console version that is mobilized as long you have good internet. If you interested in a solid shooter then look no further than Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch

May 13, 2019A solid Switch port, with minor framerate drops that do not affect gameplay, which works great in both handheld and docked mode.
-

-
Dec 8, 2020It’s...fine, but it really needs a stronger setup to be worth playing consistently, which the switch struggles to provide, the game in general is also starting to become stale with epic largely relying on brand deals to keep the game somewhat relevant
-
Nov 12, 2019Regardless of what anyone says, this game became a phenomenon for a reason. It was an amazing game. I say "was" because skill based match making, AI bots, and a map that's too large and hilly have almost ruined the game. I also have to ding the Switch version for poor performance.

Jan 6, 2020I work for my local McDonald's restaurant and people kept asking for the fortnite burger until I got curious as to what fortnite is, this game is good but I kept dying to these people building the White House constantly so I gave up.
STOP ASKING FOR A FORTNITE BURGER!!!!! -
Feb 22, 2020This game is **** to be honest. Its only good if you play it with friends,the games graphics is shıt on the switch, the community is horrible. Only play this if you are a 11 year old that calls everyone a hacker when you die. 6.6

Feb 3, 2021It's not a bad game. It just gets boring after a while. I lost the urge to play it after a week. I like the bright art style, but the gunplay is really weird and uncomfortable

May 7, 2022This switch version is the worst one graphics are still good,and it has bad controls.
-
Jul 12, 2022The game is boring because all the players now is pro and newbies cant play
-
Feb 28, 2023When I played it on switch I enjoyed it because it was so fun to just crank 90’s on kids and make them mad.
-
Dec 18, 2018El juego es infumable en la Switch. Las bajadas de FPS constantes, mucho popping, escalado horrible... en general un juego demasiado ambicioso para una plataforma que no ofrece la misma diversión que la competencia.
-
Dec 7, 2018I'm sure this game is fine on PC, as I do NOT recommend the Switch Version. The aiming was design for a mouse, not a analog stick. However, the game can be a mixed bag of enjoyment. matches either have you be killed immediately out of nowhere or have your wonder around for 10 minutes and than be killed out of nowhere. have the game is free, so at least I didn't waste money on this.
-
Aug 19, 2018Putting all my hate for the Fortnite community aside, this game is bad. Not awful. The game looks ugly and is not creative. Not fun. Props for the variety, however. This game is free, so... free games usually aren't that good. But don't play Fortnite. It's not awful, just bad.
-
Feb 18, 2019Mala carga de texturas, muy muy baja calidad gráfica lo cual conlleva a que tarden mas en aparecer lo enemigos, los joycon no son nada cómodos para los shooters, estoy descuerdo que es una versión portátil pero creo que podrían mejorarlo
-
Jan 9, 2019I would not like to make this long so, I'd just like to say that this game was fun but to me is now finally dying, there honestly running out of ideas for this game and it feels like if you don't play for a few days then everyone gets 10 times better at the game. In summary, this game was fun while it lasted, but I think it's time for this game to come to an end.

Sep 3, 2018Fortnite brings a lot to the table with season 5, and while it is certainly worth your time and money, I just wish it could be a tad bit smoother before calling it “perfect”.

Aug 7, 2018Fortnite Battle Royale delivers a perfect balance in gunplay, progression and sandbox elements. No wonder it may be 2018's gaming phenomenon. We even like the way microtransactions allow players to enter new challenges and earn cosmetics for the game, but don´t alter the core mechanics.
