    10/10. This game is awesome! Exactly what I wanted from a coop rpg (which there need to be more of). Great crafting and adventuring :)

    I tried the game earlier at Steam - I recall as 'Early Access' - graphics is as good, really stunning on the Switch. The thing I like about Portal Knights is the graphics, the traveling concept between worlds (with friends local/online), really awesome. The game has so much more than Minecraft. Portal Knights got "things" to do....so it's not only crafting, mining lol - also adventuringI tried the game earlier at Steam - I recall as 'Early Access' - graphics is as good, really stunning on the Switch.

The game performs very well in handled also + local split-screen or wireless or online, thumbs up!… Expand

    i had to ding this a bit for its controls, which just seem overcomplicated unless you're using the touch screen in handheld mode.

    I also notice some framerate issues around grassy blocks, and the clip plane is woefully short.

    It's still a GREAT game to kick around with on a rainy sunday, and both my boys enjoy the game immensely.

    It's good, but really damn outdated on switch by soon a year. And they seem to not care about the switch version, just getting base game out and that's it.

    This is a shameless Minecraft rip off with a shield of graphics. if you support individuality, Minecraft, or a future for games, do not buy this.

    This game is awesome! It has building mechanics similar to minecraft mixed with qualities of a genuine RPG. Let me rephrase that, Portal Knights is not a minecraft rip off. It's an in depth game where the creators have taken the building mechanics behind minecraft and made their own RPG. Minecraft fan or not, I recommend trying the game out for yourself.

    Portal Knights несомненно одна из лучших песочниц во что мне доводилось играть. Сразу заметно что игра вдохновлена Minecraft, но так же в ней огромное множество своих механик. Интереснейший геймплей ни похож ни на что. Графика радует глаз. А в плане песочницы, это не так круто как Minecraft, но тоже очень не плохо. Игру однозначно рекомендую!Portal Knights несомненно одна из лучших песочниц во что мне доводилось играть.

    Unlike most Minecraft clones, Portal Knights delivers an experience wholly its own and for the most part it succeeds. Playing through the main story is a highly enjoyable experience and for those who are looking for a new sandbox to build in. The home worlds allow the freedom to craft to your heart's content. It's even better with friends, too. The inclusion of co-op was a very wise choice and gives yet another element to elevate it above its competitors.

    Portal Knights is a spiritual successor to Minecraft that thankfully works well and creates an enjoyable experience on the Nintendo Switch.

    The Switch release is great but there are a few technical issues. The draw distance is almost too small. It reminds me of No Man’s Sky on a base PS4 at launch which is really bad. Given how dense the grass gets just in the opening tutorial, it is pretty sad seeing an area close by look flat from a distance but suddenly have grass appear when you get closer. I like the touch implementation though.
