    Very shallow game with not a lot to offer. This game is not worth it on the Switch, really terrible performance and controls make this a hard pass.

    Horrendously long and frequent loading screens, 5 seconds every time you enter a new location. It's simply unacceptable. But that's not the only issue.

    Controls for single joy-cons are a nightmare, items from "quick"-access are not really quickly accessible, so good luck quickly switching from torch to bow in coop-mode. And the most annoying, even infuriating thing is intro. It's    Horrendously long and frequent loading screens, 5 seconds every time you enter a new location. It's simply unacceptable.

    And the most annoying, even infuriating thing is intro. It's 20-minutes long, and the game drags you by the hand this whole time, constantly interrupting you with "witty" monologues and loading screens. TES: Morrowind has less talking and more action in its' first half an hour of game time than this one. And this is not even an RPG. Like, do you really think I care that much about game's world and it's problems in a cartoonish casual 2D-roguelite that I've never ever played or even heard of before that I'm willing to sit and read this so-called "lore" for 20 minutes? How about you let me play it first and THEN throw all this stuff at me?

    And when it finally gets to the action it's just... swinging your sword in a most boring and dull fashion you can imagine. In short, this is by far my most disappointing purchase for Switch.    … Expand

    Smash pots, light torches, find secrets and open treasure chests, all in a procedurally built "rogue-lite" world that remakes itself after every era. [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 27]

    As a Nintendo Switch title, The Swords of Ditto hits the mark of being a game you can play for five minutes or five hours and feels right at home in handheld mode. Aside from a mild fatigue from repetition near the end, occasional long load times between zones and the frustratingly designed Nemesis curse, everything about The Swords of Ditto: Mormo’s Curse comes together in one strongly designed package.

    The Swords Of Ditto: Mormo’s Curse a very fun RPG that’s well thought out and excellently put together. For RPG and Zelda fans, this is a must-have for a modern take on a retro theme.
