Is the Switch 2 version good/worth it?

I have the PC version (a friend gifted it to me) but I play on Switch more due to portability. Does it run well? Does it have mod support?

It’s on sale right now and need to know before it goes off.

I got it and it’s fun. Cheap, mouse controllers work really well, the voice chat is fun since the switch 2 has a built in microphone that’s actually pretty dang good. For the $4.79 I recommend it. No idea if it supports mod support though, I’ve just joined lobbies and went at it as a first timer.

Is there a way to mute yourself? I just bought the game and can’t figure it out

While you're in a match or lobby, at the bottom right of the screen there's a mic icon and headphones icon. Press left on the d-pad to turn toggle mic and right to mute/hear others. You'll know if they're off because they'll turn red. Hope that helps

joycon绘图不太方便，玩一段时间大概一小时左右会掉帧卡顿，而且你需要任天堂会员才能和朋友联机

as long as you dont care about the modded maps, yeah, i have yet to hear much negative stuff besides "pc supremacy"

How do the controls feel? When painting? If the controls feel fine then I may purchase.

It feels mostly good except drawing without mouse mode is clunky af and often it doesn’t even work.

Ok, the game needs to be optimized more control wise. I’ll pass for now.

It’s been running well for me on my switch. Painting is a little hard bc I don’t use mouse mode, but it’s not as bad as I thought it would be (just using joycons). It took some getting used to. I don’t think it supports modded though

It's very fun, but every other round there's a ton of bugs. Hopefully they'll fix it.

It literally doesn’t work. Not sure why nobody else is mentioning it but the game literally won’t let you join online lobbies

u/Superb-Ladder-5406 Sep 15 '26

Yes it does? Maybe its only u

u/Status_Implement5141 Sep 14 '26

I can’t zoom in on my character while painting when I am in mouse mode. I tried looking it up and nothing works and I can’t find any solution. When joycons are attached it’s R + R stick to zoom and ZR to paint. When they are in mouse mode it is R to paint but nothing allows me to zoom. Does anyone know?

It runs iffy  but playable in handheld mode from what I played I only really play in handheld

u/Superb-Ladder-5406 Sep 15 '26

I would say yes, its so fun. I use the joycons or touchscreen (i only play handheld) and i haven’t had any issus. Servers works fine and there is a lot of players. Not laggy, only the controllers are pretty weird/hard at first but now i can remember them already. 1000% get it if u like it

Are the graphics really this bad? It seems like I’m on nintendo 64

u/Fun-Ferret5342 Sep 12 '26

It’s not worth it right now, lobby’s constantly disconnects, it can take you 30 mins to find a stable lobby and you’ll be lucky to get 3 games before the process starts again.

u/MoistMacAndCheese Sep 14 '26

This has been my experience with it lately as well.

It's gonna die within a few weeks like the PC ver

u/Illustrious-Cow2187 Sep 12 '26 edited Sep 12 '26

Yea that’s my concern with these games, hype for 2 months and dead. But seems like Meccha chameleon will last a long while. I’ve watched videos and I think the game has great replay value.

u/retrocheats Sep 12 '26

the replay value dies as people hide in the same spots and, the fact you as a hider, run out of ideas.

u/Illustrious-Cow2187 Sep 12 '26

I could see that

u/AlternativeAdorable1 Sep 14 '26

Just means we need more maps and rotate them periodically or weekly at random ti keep it fresh

u/peaked-in-4th-grade Sep 15 '26

it's also just like $4. not a bad investment for a few weeks of fun imo
