The game is still hot garbage - I just tried playing it before posting to confirm. This game has been $15 for a while now, constantly "on sale" because it's not worth even this cost.

It's an absolute crime how bad it plays on Switch. I've even done all the tricks you can do to make poor running games play well - power off for a few minutes before playing, turn off internet, flush cache, and more - it still is just brutally bad. And I really really wanted to like this game. I bought it in spite of someone posting stuff like I just did. I figured, how bad could it be? The answer is bad. Really bad.

Just stay away from the Switch port. No idea if it runs like an actual game on a different console.

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like someone else posted another thread w/ a few other games from GameStop and that one was in the mix. Smilie

Maybe, maybe not. I remember during the December sales, I priced match a game (from Amazon site) in Gamestop, and they probably did something with their coding, because after that price match, the Gamestop online also adjusted their price immediately to the Amazon price.

I heard there's major issue with long loading screen during random battle encounter which can take up to 15 second ... did they patch it?

+1 I would like to know if these have been patched as well. FF7 has barely any load times at all, so if Cris Tales has load times on PS5 that's unacceptable to me. Also the frequent random battles seems like it would be rather annoying.

Thank you so much for your review. I decided to spend money on Fell Seal Arbiter's Mark instead.

CRAP. I didn't think the Switch would struggle with a game like this. Gotta return that for the PS5 version! Thanks for this

Sorry...I wish it didn't. They did a patch a few months ago that helped a good bit, but it still runs really poorly. I've tried on both an original edition and OLED Switch, if it matters, and both run bad.

I'm holding out hope they come out with a patch that fixes it, which is why I didn't return it. The genre, art, story, etc ticks every box for a game I'd love.
