Dark souls remastered is about a undead warrior who sets out on a massive journey to either restore the age of fire or become a dark Lord.
Everywhere is interconnected
And you are not limited by a storyline mostly.
You can decide where to go in whatever order you want but you might not be powerful enough to defeat anything.
Your actions have consequences for example if you stab someone they will either try to kill you or in the case of a certain merchant run out of reach and shout at you and refuse to sell things to you.
Bosses are very hard but fun and tense most of the time.
You also are not limited by your class for example if you choose the warrior class you can work on your intelligence to be able to cast mighty spells like a sorcerer.in my opinion this is a great game
Bien pinche difícil
Vale la pena intentarlo aunque si hay momentos en los que te desesperas
Che dire
dark souls. Grafica migliorata per il resto stesso gioco e stesse emozioni.
Hd
Esta es una versin HD mas que la versin remastered parecida a la versin de la Xbox 360.
Es verdad que el audio no es perfecto pero jugar a Dark Souls en porttil a 30fps es una pasada.
Esperando el Switch 2 para jugar a Elder Ring.
Calidad algo decepcionante
El juego no tiene glitches pero en calidad de graficas en switch se ve casi igual que en xbox 360 o ps3, algunas texturas se ven inclusive mas descuidadas y los controles no estan bien adaptados a los controles de una switch, no lo hace injugable pero si que llega a ser una molestia en varias ocaciones; aun asi puedes acomodarte como mas te adaptes configurando los botones, recomiendo que jueguen con un control pro porque con los joy cons te fastidiaras de lo incomodos que son despues de un rato.
Zu dem Titel wurde bereits alles geschrieben. Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung, fr alle die, die gerne Videospiele spielen. Bei dem Titel stimmt alles. Das Leveldesign ist genial. Dark Souls Remastered war mein Eintritt in die Welt von From Software. Danke an Ihnen fr das Erschaffen dieses zeitlosen Klassikers. Ich besitze bereits die digitale Version, bei dem Titel musste ich mir die Modulversion zustzlich holen da der Titel auch in Jahren noch einen sehr hohen Wiederspielwert hat. Das beste ist das man bei der Switch Version diesen Titel auch auf dem Handheld spielen kann. Was will man mehr.
Dark Souls Remastered
Purchased as a christmas gift from grandsons wish list, he will be pleased, arrived promptly
I live in the United States and has purchased my first copy locally at launch, but has decided to repurchase this masterpiece again. This version is in English so you don’t have to worry if there’s a language barrier. It’s the EXACT same as the North America version, but 2 buttons are swapped. Instead of confirming with the “A” button and cancelling with the “B” button like the North America version, it’s reversed. To be quite honest, I love it because this European button swap with A and B is the exact same as the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the Souls games. Switch games aren’t region locked either. It works on any Switch console from all world regions!
Preparate para sufrir ahora en modo portatil
Una versin que no llega a los 60 fps de otras plataformas pero poder jugar semejante obra maestra en portatil es un lujo. An habiendolo pasado en su versin de ps4 y ps3 lo recomiendo.
Great game
This is the first souls game I played and I had a lot of fun playing. Was upset that I didn’t find it to be as hard as everyone said it was. The only problem I found was the slightly bad control scheme.
Dark Souls is Dark Souls. Beautiful, haunting, and incredibly frustrating. (Hello, Anor Londo archers!) But so good, you keep coming back.

Great game! Looks good. Some connection issues when online but no big deal really.

This is my first foray into Dark Souls so very much a latecomer. Hot take – it’s a fantastic game! Yes it seems hard to new players. And yes it gets incredibly frustrating at times because it is very unforgiving gameplay. But very rewarding as you progress and learn how to play in a way that works for you (I refuse to say ‘Get good’). Once you have completed it once you’ll likely enjoy replaying and probably wonder what was so difficult initially.
From what I have read, most of the serious bugs and design problems of the original version have been ironed out of this remaster. So great for newbies like me. But nothing new here if you’re a veteran of the original.
Praise the sun!
Graphics of this remastered version looks damn amazing. Since I am working, I get less time to play games. So I needed a switch game that could provide me a good challenge for short period of time (30-45min each day) and the story of which does not get completed in a few days or even couple months. Dark Souls Remastered is perfect for me.
It provides a challenging but fair, punishing but satisfying and at times frustrating gameplay which I absolutely love. Hopefully I can progress bit by bit everyday 😀
I hope the other Dark Souls or Souls borne games get released on Switch this year or early next year.
Great Game
Absolutely love this game and the series. The B button on the switch is the A button in game though however it plays great!
Dark souls remastered
It’s an excellent game, very challenging and worth the money. Most entertaining game I’ve bought for a while.
Praise The Sun!
Great game, brought back memories of playing this when it came out! Graphics are probably on par with PS3 if slightly better. There is an issue with button choice for menus with B being select and A being cancel which is very confusing and hard to get past years of Nintendo muscle memory. Otherwise for those who haven’t played this I would recommend it, especially with the ability to play on the go.
Super fast delivery and a really hard but fun game to play. Those who like a mideval adventure will enjoy this game.

For me personally dark souls remastered is better than Zelda:BOTW trust me this game is must buy on the switch.it may be only 30 FPS but the grafic quality is same as ps4, and yes I did do a side to side compariso

I bought this for my son. He enjoys playing it and that's all that matters to me.

I’ll preface by saying I’m playing this port on a Switch Lite. I’ve owned the PTD edition if the game on PC for years.
The switch joycon controllers arent great for it, the layout can cramp your hands and the analog sticks have trouble being pressed in for lock on without making the camera jolt a bit.
Plus they have the button orientation as the other ports, so B is accept, A is cancel/run. My hands feel awkward at times switching items and camera can feel wonky around walls even with the auto wall recovery off. I don’t know if auto target even works right.
If you were to buy this game, and you own a Switch, play with a pro controller if possible. Despite my criticisms of the controls, I’m sure it’s something I can adjust to, and having portable Dark Souls is just great to me.
It’s Dark Souls and I love it.
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Love it! so difficult makes me wna scream cry and cheer haha!
Brilliant !
My partner loved it on the PC so I bought this a surprise gift. Safe to say he was very impressed with it. Brilliant 🙂
Brilliant ported title.
Brilliant port of the next gen versions on other xbox one & ps4.
Looks great on the Nintendo Switch Lite too.
I love this Game series it’s kind of hard but fun and cool weapons, armor, and characters in it so yeah I like i
Juegazo
Llego en buen estado y antes de tiempo y es un juegazo
Einerseits Kult, andererseits zu Anfang sehr zäh
Die Nintendo Switch Version ist sehr schn geworden. Dark Souls spielt sich mobil als auch im Dock sehr gut, selbst wenn man zwischen JoyCon und Pro Controller doch seine Strategie berdenken muss wegen der unterschiedlichen Tasten Anordnung.
Dark Souls ist ein finster, zhes und wirklich echtes Action Rollenspiel. Mit echtem Action Rollenspiel meine ich, dass sich die Spieler Ausrstung in allen Belangen auf die Spielweise auswirken kann oder man wirklich da steht und durch mehr oder weniger puren Zufall mit gutem Auge, die Wnde abtasten wie aus dem Fantasy Roman, die Geheime Tr findet oder den verborgenen Weg sieht. Die Auswahl an Waffen, Rstungen und Magie ist gro und bietet extrem viele Mglichkeiten die Sache anzugehen oder sich in Experimenten zu verstricken, besonders als Neuling ohne den Spickzettel heraus zu holen. Dark Souls ist ehrlich gesagt zum Erbrechen schwer ohne Erfahrung oder einen Tip fr die passende Stelle aufgeschnappt zu haben. Einfacher lsst sich das Spiel im versteckten Coop Modus angehen, der sich ebenso fr PvP nutzen lsst.
Fr Dark Souls zum mitnehmen, fr die Realisten, die wissen, dass man tot im Totenreich nicht mehr sterben kann, vergebe ich vier Sterne. Einen Stern abzug, weil Dark Souls fr so manchen das frustrierende Ende am Videospiele Markt markiert. Der, die eine Magd der, die andere hassts.
Simply Outstanding !!! I've played DS3, Sekiro and Bloodborne before. DS Remastered is much better in setting the mood and atmosphere than any of those. Its the best action rpg title in switch at the moment. Don't miss it for anything.

The dark souls remaster for switch is an excellent port of dark souls to switch. If you enjoy challenging games then you really should just get it, it is quite simply incredible. After beating dark souls I bought 2&3 on PC and beat them as well. All three of the games are action adventure RPGs, with challenging combat mechanics. If you don’t enjoy challenging games or have no interest in figuring out mechanics then this is not for you.
one of the best games of all time
game is just as good as on xbox and PS – however as this is the first ever game i have played on the Switch the controls took me a while to get use to.
as for the game itself 10/10 perfec
Portable Dark Souls, you need it in your life!
The best thing to happen to gaming for a long time for me! This is a great port of a great game. It’s probably going to become my favourite game ever – the lore, the combat, the masterful feeling of progression and achievement. Supremely repayable with no loss of enjoyment. And this version on the switch is a treat. Being able to take down bosses on the bus, to read through all the item lore during my lunch break, to achieve something I’d kept failing at for ages – minutes before my Switch battery ran out! I’ve played it more on this format than any other, and if you’re playing offline Dark Souls finally has a pause button by putting the Switch in sleep mode! Yeah there is one slight downside in that the audio can feel a little tinny and compressed at times, but I’ve had no other issues – no framerate drops, no control problems etc. Portable Dark Souls – you need it in your life!
Awesome game
It’s dark souls 😀 best game I’ve played for difficulty and no real hand holding, just try and try again.
Praise the su
Works well in handheld and just as hard as I remember unless of course you get the black knights halberd
Excelent jeux Dead and retry
Honntement trs satisfait d’avoir ce jeux en portable, il est trs russis et la switch supporte largement les graphiques du jeux. Ceux qui n’ont pas fait cet opus foncer!! le 1 est beaucoup plus dur que le 3, il y’a du chalenge!
LE seul mini dfaut est que j’ai l’impression que quand je passe en mode console de salon le jeux a des mini lag mais trs lger, c’est pourquoi je prfre rester sur la switch portable.
Git gud or git ganked on the go kiddies!
Good port of an older game but the only benefit is portability as there are better versions on PC and consoles.
It runs really well both docked 1080p and undocked 720p at a near solid 30fps even in blight town (this is a big improvement over the original) with very few subtle graphical differences from the original that are unnoticeable unless being compared. The DLC is also included.
The sound for the most part is pretty bad as everything was compressed to fit the cartridge and I don’t see why From software can’t allow us to download a HD audio patch from the eshop for those of us who want it if space was an issue. The sound is more of an issue for docked mode rather than undocked though.
Also the buttons have been swapped (B is select and A is cancel) to fit in line with the standard dark souls format. This isn’t a problem for me personally being a huge souls fan but I can imagine newcomers who are used to the Switch’s button layout may get confused. You can change the buttons for in game moves but not for the menus which is what I’d imagine you’d want to be able to swap the most.
Overall, it’s not a bad port of an amazing game and it’s still an improvement over the original in resolution and performance but the only selling point is if you want portability and don’t mind the sacrifice for it.
Otherwise you’re better off getting the PC or console versions that offer 60fps, higher resolutions and some graphics bumps.
Oh, and the Switch Pro controller is one of the best controllers ever to play Dark Souls with along with the PS4 controller.
4/5 for this port.
5/5 for the game.
Chachipiruleta
Como el de PS3-xbox360-pc pero en porttil, que ms se puede pedir?
Excelle
Excellent portage d’un excellent jeu. J’y ai dj pass une bonne centaine d’heures et c’est trs agrable d’emmener dark souls partout avec moi !
Parfai
Un jeu culte, la bote est en anglais, mais ds le jeu en lui-mme, a ne change rien : voix anglaises, et sous titres ds pulses langues dont Franais.
Marchez courez volez faire ce jeu
Came in pristine condition, plays perfectly fine. Great product and great price!
Great RPG for switch
Great game arrived as it should this time all packaging internal and external intact.
And the game was in the box this time.
Amazon customer services were great. Thank you.
An Amazing Game
A must play rpg has been made even better by making it portable!
Incontournable!!!
Le meilleurs jeu de tout les temps!! Ce jeu n’a vraiment que trs peu de dfauts, je conseille pour tout les joueurs qui souhaite un jeu qui ncessitera des rflexes afft et une patience mise rude preuve!
L’pope mdivale par excellence !
Trés bon produi
Trs bon jeu, deuxime fois que je l’achte, ii dans sa version remastered pour l’avoir dans la poche
The short answer is that yes it’s the full Dark Souls and yes it works great in portable mode. Like the Skyrim port to Switch it’s not really the ‘remaster’, just a smoother port of the x360/PS3 version including the DLC… which is more than good enough when you’re sat on a train, plane or in a coffee shop battling away. The game itself is incredibly influential and demanding (it feels like hard work plowing through the game world, compared to the nice holiday of Zelda) and just playing it you can see how it’s philosophy has leaked into a lot of modern game designs… in that way you could argue it’s the best game on the Switch (Edge Magazine did recently declare it the greatest of all time) but that does feel like cheating on an old port. To note you need a Nintendo Online Pass for the Online elements to work, it also doesn’t pause… even when you put the Switch into sleep mode, which is the same across all platforms.
Dark souls game
Purchased for my partner as he already owned the game on PS4 and looking to buy the game on Nintendo switch. He just loves this game!!!Delivered earlier that expected and always feel very happy to buy things through amazon!!
An excellent remaster of the original game, don’t believe the negative press. The Switch version is excellent and the graphics hold up, no they’re not as good as the PS4 or Xboxone versions, but still look great on the Switch screen in both docked or handheld modes. The only thing I found a problem is the controls on the switch where the joy-con controller being too cramped for such an intense game though when docked the pro-controller is a joy.
I bought the Nintendo switch for this video game
Best Nintendo switch game ever , if you dislike some difficulty in games it’s not for you go play super Mario or something
Trs bon jeu que voil !
Je ne l’avais pas fait l’poque de la sortie originale, et je peux dire que j’tais pass ct de quelque chose. Bonne dure de vie (+-60-70 heures) et difficult leve (c’est le principe) mais pas impossible.
On a envie de continuer de jouer pour dcouvrir ce monde sombre et nigmatique.
Xmas gift reques
Was a gift for my grandson which I am sure he loved
Christmas Present For my Son.
I’m not sure what this is all about, but he’s very happy with it and can’t wait to play it….
I’m sorry!!!
I purchased dark souls remastered in both the switch and PS4. While the switch version is slightly inferior, it’s great to be able to play dark souls on the go. The souls games (plus bloodborne) are in my opinion the best games ever made. This does however ruin every other non souls game. Be warned !
Best game ever. Great port.
Dark Souls is an absolute masterpiece, and this port to Switch is done brilliantly. It runs smooth and being able to play on the go amazing.
Portage réussi !
Mme si le jeu date, a reste une exprience unique.
Je recommande !
Dark Souls is a favourite game for many, and for myself it was a game that got me through a difficult time upon its original release. For that reason alone, I can’t help but love this game, so there is a degree of bias here.
This is the same game you played in 2011, albeit with the later DLC included. It’s a step down from the recent PS4 and XB1 remasters visually, but the Switch’s smaller screens mask this very well indeed. The huge appeal here is the portability. Souls on the train! Souls on the loo! Souls on the couch while someone else watches X Factor…
I initially thought that the Switch might be a bit fiddly for this game but I actually found it a little easier. My first playthrough since 2014 but still managed to finish it in a respectable 20hrs (my first play in 2011 took 65). The framerate remains generally smooth throughout with no areas performing noticeably poorly. Headphones /earphones are recommended, and prepare for a rather basic looking game if you choose to play docked (the PS4 / XB1 HUD options put the docked Switch game to shame here).
In my opinion, the game has aged well. There are a wealth of ways to play the game, online play is improved over the original release, and you’ve got another classic in portable form!
I got this as it’s the only Souls game I haven’t played owning a ps4.
I waited on this for the portability of the switch and must say I think it might just be the best of the series.
Dark Souls on the go
I finished it yesterday and immediately I am back in NG+ playing though it again. Amazing experience on the Switch. Online community is alive so summon signs are everywhere and I got invaded a lot. It’s Dark Souls and it’s still one of the very best games ever made. Now we get to play it anywhere.
What is there to say? its Dark Souls, its gonna kill you over and over again but in this version you get over 7 fps in blight town! The switch handles the game incredibly well i have had no problems (besides the bed of chaos) and i am very happy with the purchase.
There are two things to be aware of, first the control scheme is the same as as on the Xbox or PlayStation meaning the bottom most button on the switch (B) is the activate button and might throw people use to Xbox controls as that B button is somewhere else so the prompts might throw some people.
The second thing is that to access the multiplayer portion you have to pay a monthly subscription to use the Nintendo online feature, this is again similar to how Xbox live works and isn’t game breaking but just better to know before you buy.
Once again, this is a great game and works very well on this console, Praise the Sun!
Portable dark souls
Great melee combat system, especially when compared to that of breath of the wild.
Very happy!
Very pleased I waited for this to come to the switch. Graphics look perfect for what it is and the frame rate doesn’t drop once. It’s not 60 frames but once your playing you don’t even realise. Runs very smooth and the fact it’s dark souls on the switch is what sold it for me. Already on my 2nd playthrough. This is my new favourite dark souls. Well worth 30 pound. Around 40 hours to finish.
Amazing port of an amazing game
Amazing game, and runs great on the switch and preparing to die in handheld is awsome 🙂
It's Dark souls as you know and love
Look, it’s Dark Souls, you can play it anywhere you want. I think it’s perfect, runs amazingly well. It’s so good.
This my first experience of a dark souls game, although I have played through Bloodborne on PS4.
From a technical standpoint I had no expectation of how this should run, but I’m very pleased with the finished product. The game is clearly based on the old console generation version and not the ‘remastered’ version released earlier this year for PS4 and Xbox one consoles. That’s not to say it doesn’t come with enhancements. The resolution and frame rates are much improved over the Xbox 360 game. The game looks a little ‘muddy’ but it runs consistently well across the board. The portable mode is particularly impressive and is my preferred way to play.
The game itself is fantastic but I’d suggest you look into the type of game it is if you’re a first time player of the genre.
Great game but not for everyone.
I’ve never played Dark Souls but I fell in love with Bloodborne. This game will not offer you amazing graphics. It will put your patience to extreme test. But the satisfaction when you succeed after countless hours of blood, sweat and tears is something hard to describe.
Definitely worth purchase if you’re fan of the series and games that punish you for mistakes rather than reward with assist.
What you have to remember about this game is that the vast majority of gamers do not like dark souls. They find it too hard, unforgiving, unrewarding, vague in it’s progression. These are the things that some gamers actually find annoying. For too long games have held your hand, pointed you in a direction with blinks on a minimap, given you clues and hints. This game does not do that. This game expects you to use your actual human brain, dexterity, comprehension skills and ability to analyse and learn from your mistakes to progress. If you have never played dark souls before you have to go into the game EXPECTING TO DIE A LOT. You will not beat the game in X amount of hours as others have said they did. You will not speed run through it to go on to the next game you have lying around. Dark souls will almost become your SOLE game you play for over 2000 hours. Even after you have played it to death and become a master at it, much like one becomes a master at Chess, you will find reasons and excuses to play it yet again. It takes a kind of personality and willpower to play DS. If this isn’t you, this game is not for you. The game itself is excellent. The remastered port is flawless except for a few online connection issues troubling people on launch day. The entire game is essentially single player but you have a few added new multilayer pvp aspects to mess around with as well. Even I don’t entirely like this game but that’s no reason to give it a bad rating. I like many players hate how many times I die and how much effort has to be put in to succeed… But when you do learn and succeed, you feel euphoria. You immediately shift from hating to loving DS. If you ever felt like your switch simply doesn’t have the kind of game you can sink your entire life into that you will keep playing to death and replaying to death, well this is that game you have been missing.
This is my most anticipated release of the year by far. I have got a high level save on xbox(which I don’t own anymore) and playing PC version with HD texture mods and a program called DSFix and it looks stunning. The Switch version will just be 1080p on TV and 720P on handheld, wheras the xbox,ps4 and PC version will be 4K, but I don’t care. The lure of being able to play Darksouls, my favourite game of all time, on a handheld is impossible to resist.
This game is that good, it is worth buying a Switch just for it, as I’m sure many people will.
This game is incredible from every department such as tight responsive combat, you die it’s your fault. The artwork/world has and incredible vibe that you can’t help but get lost in it. The enemies, are brilliant with some huge and amazing bosses. The sound is awesome.
Basically everything about this game is awesome, it’s better then 2 or 3 or even Bloodbourne.
Gaming perfection, so pleased they released an modern console remaster.
Stick to it, and you’ll get good at it.
When it initially releases, you’ll be able to play this tough as nails title anywhere you go. When you die, and you will die, a lot, take what you’ve learnt and apply it to the next attempt. A metaphor for life if ever I heard one.
