Kingdom Come Deliverance on Switch - The Most Ambitious Switch Port Yet? - DF Tech Review VIDEO
Update 16/03/24: The sharpened image mentioned at 05:39 relates to an intended in-game effect. Drinking in the game causes an oversharpened image while the 'drunk' status icon appears - an oversight on our part. Apologies for any confusion!
Another 'impossible port' arrives on Switch, once again engineered by the tech wizards at Saber Interactive. This time, CryEngine 3 gets another run-around on Switch with Kingdom Come Deliverance - a game that struggled with performance even on PS4 and Xbox One systems back in 2018. Six years on, the Switch edition arrives with a surprising number of visual features in tact - while frame-rates are very much what we'd call 'dynamic'.
