Stay away from this game. It runs like complete garbage and will annoy the heck out of you.

This game has all my favorite types in it, with some really pretty art on top, but it's well famed for running absolutely horrible on the switch. I bought it earlier this year on a $20 sale because I felt it couldn't be that bad.

I was wrong.

Don't follow me down this sad path.

Does it still run poorly with the patch released this past week?

Almost got this for PS5 before realizing I've got it on my Xbox Game Pass PC sub. $20 saved, I guess!

I don't know, but to be perfectly honest, I don't want to give it a try. The extreme drag and chugging of the game really turned me off from it.

Have you found any other JRPGs worth playing on the switch? I absolutely loved Octopath Traveler and find very few others worth it at any price.

I tried the demo and was very impressed by the quirky artwork and unique experience - seeing various timelines (past, present, future) within the same field of view. But I read so much about how bad it runs on the Switch that I just can't make the purchase even though I really want to Frown

The constant loading screens between stages and battles are insane. Seemed like a great title, but couldn't get past 2 hrs
