    Normally i would give a 75 but the switch version is not polished enough to do so. Handheld/Switch mode was obviously never tested. Look like the 1080p resolution gets downsampled to Switch Screen resolution 720p which is total crap. Cant read s**t in handheld mode. Performance issues as soon as comic styled videos are running... lot to do here at the switch version.. not worth those 25 bucks atm

    I have spent about 12 - 15 hours with the game and it is gorgeous, a brilliant turnbased rpg that requires you to think out your actions carefully in order to come through encounters without taking damage.

Unfortunately its incredibly buggy to the point it is unplayable. Constant soft and hard crashes and numerous frame rate drops, I've had 2 runs where it crashes at the end of actioning a turn and once you close and reopen the game it restarts you after the actions so you are stuck in a constant state of it crashing.
    Best to avoid getting on the switch if possible and get on a different platform, brilliant game when you are able to play it though.    … Expand

    Crashes endlessly; and thanks to Nintendo arrogance you can forget asking for a refund. Only get this if you enjoy throwing away hours replaying the fights because it didn’t save. So disappointed; beneath the sloppy port lies a truly great game.

    DO NOT BUY.

    Star Renegades doesn’t countenance mistakes, while demanding an inordinate amount of commitment from its players due to its mechanically dense system. This can be a challenging game to get into, from learning about its intricate turn-based combat, to making sense of the walls of text, numbers and symbols it throws at you. Those patient enough to familiarise themselves with what this roguelike has to offer, however, may find this to be a tactically satisfying experience.

    Star Renegades is exceptionally fun to play and a great addition to any Switch library. With endless combinations of battles to fight and a ton of weapons and items to unlock, there is plenty of content here to deliver dozens of hours of fun. While the Switch version does suffer from some downgrades with load times and performance on occasion, the portability of this rogue-lite means it is ideal for playing on the move. Star Renegades has a lot of scope and ideas under the hood and the dynamic enemy promotions is just one that is incredibly impressive. Exceptionally tough, at times frustrating but always rewarding - this visual treat is definitely one to pick up - especially since the game is set to receive regular content updates over the months ahead.

    Star Renegades takes inspirations from different sources to create an extremely engaging turn-based RPG, encapsulated with a beautiful pixel-art style. Unfortunately, constant performance issues take away some of its shine.
