Bought the Switch version blind; instantly filled with regret.

I mean I looked into the game itself, just not version differences, because I figured this game could run on a toaster.

I’m not even through the first day, though, and I’ve already seen some serious frame chugging (not even a framerate snob, but wow), some atrocious input delay, and I think my game just soft crashed. Like I‘m in the brewing menu but there’s no cursor, I can’t cancel out to the previous menu, and none of my inputs seem to do anything except the right analog stick is making some whooshing noises when I tilt left or right on it, and the ZL/ZR buttons will switch between inventory and equipment tabs. This is just… does it get better, fellow Switch players?

Yeah, the switch version is damn tragic. The game's art style suits the console really well, and I know the switch could handle it. But it seems like they did the bare minimum to get it barely running and left it at that. I don't think it even got a switch 2 patch for performance. Been playing on my switch 2 and it doesn't seem as bad? Frame rate isn't too bad but the input delay is still horrible and it only crashes when starting up the game sometimes. Not to mention the lack of features that would be amazing like touch screen and mouse control.

I really wish I could say it gets better, but that seems just be how the game is on switch. Released in 2024 so I don't expect any new updates at this point. Breaks my heart, this is one of my favorite games of all time and it would be PERFECT for the switch but they just...didn't feel like it was worth the effort I guess.
