Description of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch
Your home world has come under a devastating attack. The thirst for revenge will make you embark on a journey that will take you beyond the horizon, to strange and unusual lands. Treasures and dangers await at every turn. You will fight old enemies, make new friends and face your destiny.
You will play Shulk, who is intent on destroying the Mechons. Dunben, Ryan, Sharla and other characters will help him. You have to explore vast spaces and fight against mechanical enemies using the special skills of each of the characters. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch is a remake of the first game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, which debuted the beloved Shulk. This remastered version has improved graphics and gameplay, as well as a new epilogue - Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected.
Pros
- 50+ hours of story, sidequests and over 130 hours of exploration. Finally, the graphics from previous versions on Wii and 3ds have been completely redone, and the game has become much more modern looking. A huge world, more than 200 sidequests, many combinations between characters (there can be 3 characters in a group at the same time, there are 7 playable characters in the game in total), both in terms of the combat system and in terms of relationships within the group, allow you to fully experience the history of the beautiful world of Xenoblade Chronicles. The outcome of many sidequests directly affects the relationships within the game. The main character can return a spark to the life of a married couple, reconcile the once best friends, help a talented lazy person find his life's work. As you progress through the game, you begin to understand how everything is intertwined within the game world. Affinity chart creates a unique sense of immersion that you can't find anywhere else.
Cons
- Lack of some minor functionality from the 3ds version of the game (such as amiibo support). The game performs much better in stationary mode, when playing in a portable mode, minor but unpleasant frame drops may occur. (The prologue is the most resource-intensive moment of the game, so DO NOT be afraid of drawdowns in it, it’s much better further on) The age of the game is still a little felt: the characters are not very mobile compared to XC X and 2.
