    KingdomCome Deliverance Royal Edition is another example that you can port a big game to the Nintendo Hybrid. Here, we have a great medieval action game full of possibilities that, although original in its save system concept, cannot beat the frustration that is repeating all the time the simplest things that you have to do. Sometimes, innovation and diversification doesn't always mean fun. Sometimes it can be pure frustration.

    Despite the muddy graphics, an extremely ambitious port! But the weak performance prevents the medieval experience from unfolding properly. We would have preferred to see the game on the Switch 2!

    If you give yourself over to Warhorse’s muddy opus, it will reward you with a hundred hours of grueling and enjoyable trial and error. It’s buggy and rough around the edges on Switch, but Kingdom Come Deliverance is a singular RPG experience. The pacing and constant juggling of mechanics is not for everyone, but invest the time and you’ll experience an engrossing, grounded adventure.

    A medieval colossus with some limitations and flaws in this Switch version, although satisfying for the experience it provides.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance for Nintendo Switch remains a large, slow-paced RPG full of numbers and choices, set in realistically depicted Middle Ages. The resolution obviously took a nasty hit, so I don’t recommend playing this version on a TV, and the controls are not very intuitive, but I’m still amazed that the whole experience is available on a handheld console. Nevertheless, while the game is definitely worth playing, you should consider whether to play it on a Switch specifically.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance remains an incredibly deep and interesting game, dogged by the twin bugbears of combat and saving. Unfortunately, the Switch isn't really the right home for it.
