What do you make of this one - I should have mentioned that TEXT SIZE is perfect as well.
LOL So many people asking about the Joycon controller's the manufacturer emailed with a discount 😂 Get USD 10$ discount with code: SWITCHUP
Product link: bit.ly/30tIm0N
Is the controller good?
I was planning on buying something similar to this off Amazon recently, and with the sale + your code I got this for $36.99 great price, thanks to you and the manufacturer for the deal!
Love the art style and premise. Wait perfect text size?! It’s a miracle!
@@revengeofthesynth5430 Ah good stuff!! Mark
@@Tr4sh13 yeah it’s decent, very comfortable as well
I really appreciate that you mention developers and artists by name. Sometimes it can feel like games just burst fully formed from the head of Zeus, but they aren't! Especially indie games, they are made by small teams of hard-working people and they deserve to be talked about more!
Absolutely - I hope I didn’t butcher the pronunciations too badly but the thought was there haha! Mark
Straight up.
Strange how I get more hyped for these indie type games than most releases from big name studios, guess it's because I've rarely been disappointed by an indie release and they feel like finished games
I really only get excited by PlayStation and Nintendo first party AAA’s tbh
Same thing with me.
Definitely indie game amazing these days just bought hollow knight and ori collection love them
The Switch is an Indie Machine!!! Absolutely LOVE this game and many other Indies coming out these days!!! I just pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition coming 10/7/22. Hollow Knight,Celeste,Dead Cells, Katana Zero,Guacamelee 1+2, Eastward, Hell even Golf Story etc. We are in the center of an indie game Renaissance and I'm not Madd believe me!!!! I still LOVE almost EVERYTHING Nintendo puts out but these small studio Indie games are lit 🔥 These games are GREAT on Playstation and Xbox hell they almost positively run a bit better but on Switch they are just different!! Really special!!! I'm so glad to get to experience this time we are in. Shout out to all of these Indie Studios doing AMAZING work 👏🙀 💪
@@J.0.E. i certainly understand that with some of nintendo’s major titles on the switch (zelda breath of the wild, mario odyssey, etc.) - after all, those were the primary reasons i got a switch over a ps5 minus the stocking issues - but the plethora of great indie games were an awesome bonus for me, and i’d recommend you look into at least some of the bigger indie titles (cuphead, shovel knight, etc.) on switch. indie games are meant to be more intriguing than exciting upon first impression, and considering the large selection of titles covering a wide range of genres, there’s something for everyone (including you).
either way, please don’t discount indie gaming as a whole… and if you read my entire comment, thanks for coming to my ted talk lol
Had to come back and comment on this again to share something I just saw in the game that had me laughing for quite awhile. At one point while attacking an enemy I hit a nearby sign and sliced the signboard part of it in half. I'd already read the sign earlier, but went back to check it again after the fight and... only the bottom half of the text box showed, complete with only the lower half of all the letters on the sign. I looked next to the signpost (which still had the bottom half of the sign attached) and noticed the top half of the sign laying next to it. With bated breath, I checked that too, and... just the top half of the message box / text appeared! I've literally never seen half of a text box with the typed font cut in half like that before, and that level of detail in a game always amazes me. It's the sort of thing you could play the entire game and never notice, but when you do notice, it just... makes sense. The developers clearly put a ton of work into this game, and it shows!
I remember being disappointed when I first heard about Death's Door, simply because I thought it would never be on Switch and it's the only console I have, and because it was a game that ticked so many boxes for me. As soon as I heard it was releasing for Switch, I was excited, but a little concerned about how the performance would be. I am so glad to hear that it runs really well despite some stutters here and there. It looks and sounds gorgeous from the footage too. I've already taken the plunge on getting it (used some gold points to make it a tenner), but the reviews make me feel like I've definitely made a good choice. Thanks for the video.
I was basically about to come say all of this. I’m so happy I waited, and I’m happy that it runs well!
I'm in the exact same situation
Hey , I just saw you at switch corner 😀
I played on PC when it released. I have a Switch, too, but I wanted to play it immediately upon release and it was such a joy to play! I remember so many people asking for a Switch port as it would be a great fit for the switch community and I'm glad it finally did! More people should be playing this. Definitely my game of the year!
Yes!! I've been waiting for this. I highly recommend watching Noclips documentary of this game. And as always, thanks for the review :)
Sounds interesting I’ll check it out! Mark
This game is phenomenal. I played through it when it released on Xbox and it's easily one of my favourite games of this year. One of my favourites in its genre as well. I'm glad to see it running on the Switch. I hope it sells like crazy on there.
True SwitchUp fans always wait for the “see ya!” at the end of the review.
In all seriousness though, this review has persuaded me to download the game. I actually already had one of the soundtracks on my relaxing music playlist: 36 - castle lockdown. I’ll have to check out moonlighter’s soundtrack too, now that you mentioned it in the review.
Listen to this ua-cam.com/video/g2m8ms32xa4/v-deo.html
@@SwitchUpYt oh cheers! I should have thought of that - I have UA-cam premium so that’s been added to the playlist.
Didn't expect that price and file size for something that looks amazing. Another one to add in my library.
Picked this up first thing today, and have been greatly enjoying it. My one little issue is, as you mentioned, the lack of a mapping system. As a gamer living with aphantasia (the inability to create pictures in my head), having no visual map to refer to does tend to end with me getting lost more often than the average Joe. An accessibility option to toggle the map on or off would have helped a lot. But even with that issue, it's still a wonderful game. The graphics look great on my Lite, and the sound drew me in from the very beginning. Great stuff!
I held my breath the whole review hoping against hope that I didn't hear the word "roguelike." My fears were assuaged and I'll be picking this one up. Great review as always.
Oh yes this is all hand crafted, story driven, A to B goodness
That’s me! Lol I was scrolling down to try to find that information. Thks for that.
You don't like roguelikes? I loved Hades
Skill issue
@@darth_hylian sick of roguelikes
I’m loving how these indie developers are doing huge things with very little manpower. I’ve quickly become so much more excited about indie titles rather than AAA. 👏🏽 👏🏽
Is amazing how Devolver Digital nailed again so great hidden gems, I will get this one
Whoever chooses their games is very very good
Just wanna say how awesome it is to see you guys grow like this. I first subbed when you had 60k subscribers. To see you now over 200k is just awesome, you are the only place I trust for switch reviews. Keep up the awesome work!
I've been at death's door for 34 years and now I can play a game about it too
😂
Bought this a while back from this review I think thanks to you and Glen and the write ups. i know this is a bit necro but you guys have one of if not the best game review channels. i love the candor when you guys give both your opinions and just talk about all the nuances in in the joint reviews - almost like mini multi commentary.
Its honest and I don’t know how you guys manage to find the time to play all of them to get a good enough idea or even complete then write, edit and produce when you have little ones running around. much props. From Soviet Canada.
I love switch up reviews just so honest and on point everything is just reviewed how it should be. Please never change!!
Great review, and has definitely got me tempted to pick this up. Also thanks for the link and discount for the controller 😃 I wish more reviewers were like you guys
I'm a few years late but starting my death door experience now. Great review. Thank you
Awesome! I was waiting on you guys to review this one! Definitely a pick-up for me!!
Marks voice has to be one of the most calming and relaxing voices to listen to when watching a game review, he's perfect for these kind of UA-cam videos.
Wow thanks!
Yep, I always look for videos from switch up first when I'm looking for switch stuff and sigh when I have to watch someone else if they don't have a video. Best switch channel on UA-cam
I’ve been waiting for your review on this one and I’m so glad to hear how well it plays on the switch. Picking this one up for sure. Great review. Thanks
love switchup you guys are my goto for switch reviews!
Been so excited for this game to come out. Just been waiting for confirmation that the port is good from you guys before picking it up! Keep it up guys!
Downloading it now. Can't wait!
Thanks for the review as always!
Crows are my favorite birds. They really have a unique personality if you get to know some.
Dang when I saw this covered in your upcoming games video, the trailer didn't make it seem anything like a top-down adventure and I thought it was gonna be something first-person and closer to Dishonored (which I wouldn't be able to handle because I get motion sick). Now, I'm a LOT more interested. Thanks for the review as always, Mark!
Been hoping this would come to the switch. All the reviews before on other platforms sang it's praise. I will be getting this no doubt.
Thanks for the review!
Very happy to hear this is such a high scorer. The looks, story and feel of this game is right up my alley. Thanks as always lads!
Ah good to see you brother - I think this will definitely be for you! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt I'm always sticking around, even if i comment a bit less due to a busy job ;) either way, keep up the amazing work Mark! I'm super proud to be a member of this community from early on. You guys deserve the succes!
@@Cissero legend!
Sold! Thanks for the great review.
This channel doesn’t miss. I’ll be picking it up!
Have been waiting all year for this one. Thrilled to hear these praises
Thank you for the review. I was waiting to buy it on the Switch only if it performed well. I'm happy with your review and excited to get it for my switch :)
I'll definetely pick This up ! Looks great, Thanks for the review guys :)
Phenomenal review as always, been excited for this one finally coming to Switch where it belongs.
What great timing, I was about to check if it was available to purchase on the eshop!
Such a good game! Mark
First I’ve heard of this, it sounds right up my street. Great work as always guys.
I’ve had my eye on this for a while, I’m definitely gonna be picking it up! Not only does it look good but I like how it’s giving well deserved love to hard working devs.
So excited to have this as my get cozy at bedtime game.
Great vid! Bought the joycons, was looking for a upgrade, used your coupon
Thanks!!
Good stuff! Mark
thanks for the review. the art style and diablo style camera had me interested, but after seeing this video i knew it was a good buy for only $20. BOOYAH
So glad you reviewed this game. Had no idea this game existed, but is definitely the type of game I enjoy. Best part of this channel to me is when you introduce me to games that not even remotely on my radar previously. Adding this one to the wishlist!
The art direction looks really nice and the gameplay looks fun I’ll definitely be picking this up in the future
This is definite pick up for me.... at some point! Thanks again, your reviews are always so fair and thorough.
Great review as always Mark, Just picked this up for £12.99. Loving it so far
So happy this is on switch!! I will def be picking this up!
This game is now free w/ your Netflix account! Excited to be able to play this on my mobile. I def recommend people use a mobile gaming controller though.
The SwitchUp family was not lying about how good this game is. Death's Door has earned a top 10 spot on my personal MUST HAVE list for the Switch.
Looking forward to this one. Nice 2D Zelda like was my first impression at initial glance. So it good to see its more than that!
Will definitely be picking this one up over the next month or so (my a Christmas Day present to myself).
I like to as for a bit of eshop credit each year, and this is why!
Good job chaps, as usual.
Thanks mate! Mark
I wouldn't call it a 2D Zelda like. The "puzzles" are very simple and repetitive. It's more like a harder, less visually appealing Hob than anything else.
Been looking forward to this game for a while. The music is amazing and I agree the music in moonlighter is fantastic. Thanks for the review.
Been waiting for this one glad it's finally on switch!
Was waiting for this review! Another one to grab on the beloved Switch.
Having already seen a view gameplays this was a must buy for me on switch. I’m glad this also runs well! I mean it’s top-down perspective with a non realistic artstyle, it has to run well even on switch. But having seen many recent games that just don’t, I’m really looking forward to play this :D
Have been waiting for this game ever since seeing a trailer, so glad it will be worth it as it's clearly AWESOME. Great review, can't wait to play it.
Played this the night it released on PC and it quickly shot up to my GOTY candidate. It hasn't left that spot since, it was the perfect game at the right time for me, from music to atmosphere to story. So glad to see it getting more attention now on Switch!!
“Main protagonist is [a] Crow” okay already sold
😂
The Switch channel that never lets me down. Thank you!
This one is a game I’ve been looking forward to!! Reminds me of blue fire kind of which also was a fun game! I’m definitely getting this!
This one has come from absolutely nowhere for me and looks bloody brilliant. Thanks a lot lads, top work!
So excited to see this finally come to the switch! Fingers have been crossed since the game came out!
Love the look of this! Another one added to the wishlist!
This looks very nice indeed! Thanks for the review and yes, you're right about David Fenn - Moonlighter truly has one of the best soundtracks in recent memory, and this one sounds gorgeous as well!
Appreciate it - a good soundtrack makes ALL the difference for me. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt I am now about halfway through Death’s Door and I really have to say that it’s a fantastic game with what is easily the best in-game music I have heard in a while. I especially loved the Furnace level, where the music is synchronised with the moving parts and it evolves as you activate them. Truly great stuff!
PS: looking around for information on the developers, Acid Nerve, I was surprised to learn they are also behind Telepaint, a nice iOS game I played a while ago that also had a great soundtrack, as well as Titan Souls, which is sadly not available on Switch but is supposed to be in a shared universe of sorts with Death’s Door.
I’m assuming it’s 60fps on the Switch?
Awesome review once again, my go to channel for reviews. 👌
Watched a playthrough of this awhile back. Looks like a fantastic game and I am stoked that I finally get to play it on the go.
Great review, game looks right up my street. Recently completed tails of iron after your review, brilliant game.
Glad to hear good performance! I’ll definitely play this once my backlogs are cleared.
Just noticed there is a retail release of this coming out in November!
I love this game and I wouldn't of known about it without this video. So thank you!!
this game feels like isometric Blue fire, love it
The music was spectacular
Just bought this.
Definitely worth the 20.
Great review!
After i beat all ending on smt v, this is on top on my list. Great review as always
I am all in for Death’s Door! It reminds me of brighter version of Dark Mous, which I also loved. Switch seems like the perfect platform and 17.99 for 8 to 10 hours of gameplay on the first play through is admirable value. Thanks for the review!
Excited to give this a go when I have some free time. Looks/sounds fabulous.
This looks awesome. Going on my wishlist!
you guys sold this game to me. great review!
Definitely buying the joy cons thanks for a awesome find
One of the games that's been recently announced that I was gutted wasn't on Switch, until now. Will be picking this up and happy to hear it runs great 😁
Played Deaths Door earlier in the year and it may be my GOTY. Glad to see the switch port was done well.
Wow definitely looks interesting and fun. Much respect to the developers of this indie on all the hard work they put in, seems to show here. Great explanation on everything with this game in detail. 🙌🙌
The fact it's NOT a Soulslike game is the most interesting part of the gameplay
Looks like a really good worm to catch, or add to wish list ! Good job posting your comment on nintendo's trailor of this game as it was easy to jump on over to here and actually see what the game was about!
Picked it up today, as the price dropped to 14.99 in the sale this week. Merry Xmas
Physical copy preordered. Thanks for the review.
Dang, talk about a timely review; didn't the game just drop today? Love it! I absolutely want to pick this up at some point.
Thankfully we get early copies! Mark
Best Nintendo channel bar none…..it reminds me of the SuperPlay magazine days!
Just pre-ordered my copy and some Death's Door art work. 💪👌
Love devolver digital and will definitely pick this one up for the backlog.
I bought it when it came out on the Xbox and will definitely be double dipping for the switch. Loved this games to pieces!
Watched 2 positive reviews regarding this game. I'm really intrigued. Cheers Mark
Cheers mate! Mark
So happy this got announced for other platforms! When I first learned of this game I was sad that it was only on PC / Xbox at launch..
I’m getting this for sure. I hope it goes on sale for Black Friday. It was on sale last week on the Xbox store, but held off to get it on switch instead.
Cant wait to play this one, looks awesome, love the visuals and the gameplay looks great. Cheers guys!
Thanks brother, it’s lovely
Just preordered the physical from Special Reserve. Looking forward to playing it.
Would love to see a side by side comparison of this version with the pc or xbox version. Just got a series X so now I have to consider that with every purchase.
Great Game - Great Review 😎🤙
Pre-ordering the Physical later today
Good stuff mate - appreciate you watching! Mark
Love the music of moonlighter, might pick this game up for that alone even though it sounds great in all the categories.
Let me get a product review on some of these new handheld control pads?!
Could you please tell me, what's the brand / model of joy cons you are using on this video?
This game turned out to be one of the greatest games I ever played. Ended up platinum it, as the 2nd game ever I bothered to platinum.
This seems like the perfect game for me. Thank you for reviewing and bringing it to my attention.
Two man team? Don't forget the scores of artists who made it possible!!
Listen on before commenting…sheeeesh
@@SwitchUpYt no you goofball. I'm not going to listen to your whole video before commenting. How about ya don't say ridiculous misleading nonsense??
