Hard + Classic mode are a must, otherwise the game is too easy.
Once you figure out all the systems then it's almost easy on hard as well.


Just play wargroove no gay ass story and better strategy/gameplay

I always preferred Fire Emblem games to Advance Wars because of the RPG aspect, so no, Wargroove isn't my thing, those games are basically shallow streamlined versions of PC turn-based strategy.

PS: I also like myself some animu melodrama, especially when you have a Harry Potter style game like Three Houses.

It was fun for one route, now I am in the middle of the 2nd one at around 100 hrs and yea it's getting a a bit stale now. I will finish the 2nd run quickly but definitely won't be doing a 3rd right now, it's too much. Though I did have fun for 80+ hrs and that's enough.
Next game to play on Switch is Astral Chains, coming out on friday and so far well-reviewed in the high 80s. Looks like another fun Platinum game.

Yep and been playing it so far so good, a great surprise ; i expected a jap crap game it is not.

Also the game looks really nice even in handheld (as in no vaseline and proper 720p).. Graphics are really nice, you can feel it was developed for the NSW in mind.

Let's hope it's not boring but i'll keep playing it for sure!

No, they're classic JRPGs, like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger etc., but a bit more old-school even.

I think it looks fairly good on Switch, haven't tried handheld mode though, framerate is mostly 30 fps, but ya, we are used to 60 fps from Platinum, even on consoles.

With Astral Chain I found the aliasing to be pretty noticeable in handheld mode. Using ReverseNX (docked mode res in handheld) helped clean up the jaggies. Very Happy

Astral Chain is fucking awesome, my experience so far:

Chapter 1
Just a 3-hit combo and an evade? wtf is this, Fisher's Price: Babby's first action game? Platinum's weakest combat system.

Chapter 4
zomg, which of the 1000 options should I apply to deal with this enemy? Platinum's best combat system.

Currently at chapter 6 and the options just keep increasing with all the new Legions you catch, thx to their gadgets and skill trees.

But that's the whole point of DMC-style action games, having shitloads of option and learning how to cancel attacks into each other tor how to chain them.

The game can run in 60 fps, but only has 30 retail... Why?

Reason is that Nintendo forbids dev to use 100% of the GPU and CPU speed of the console.

That being said with the handheld profile forced, the game easily achieves 60fps in docked clocks (but is aliased and doesn't look as nice as dock mode).

But docked mode + max overclock doesn't run at a stable 60fps...Still better than the regular 30 fps.

nah if it's not consistent 60 fps but in between, then I prefer locked 30 otherwise the framepacing is completely fucked.

I suggest you play in handheld profile at 60 FPS, this is the best compromise if you wanna stable 60 FPS

Dynamic resolution can actually look amazing with overclocking because it boosts the resolution even more. I think spyro for example looks better in handheld profile which can go > 720p + max over clock than docked mode which is stuck in 720p and no dynamic resolution even if you “overclock” to the max (aka nvidia shield clocks)

Last time my Switch overheated without overclocking while playing XB2, due to the heat it got slightly bent and wouldnt properly fit into the dock anymore.
I had to make it overheat again and then gently bend it back to the way it was, while it was still hot.

I would love to OC it, but I don't think it's a good idea in my case Laughing
