After two years since its original release, Nintendo Switch owners finally get to experience Saber Interactive’s third person co-op survival shooter World War Z. This is exciting news since there really isn’t anything lượt thích it on the Switch & having a fast-paced zombie shoot ‘em up on the go certainly sounds awesome. The only problem is that, with the original trò chơi out for quite some time on every other platform, many players’ experiences on the Switch won’t be their first with the game itself (mine included). With so many improvements made on the other platforms the past couple of years, it can be tough not to lớn compare the Switch port to its much superior original version.
Let’s start out with the good. Somehow, someway, the team at Saber Interactive has successfully put the base World War Z game on the Switch along with everything that made it great in the first place. You go through levels with three other players a la Left 4 Dead style as you gun down the undead or “zekes” as they hotline them in the game. There are special zombies like “Bulls” that charge at you in full riot protection gear in hopes to lớn continuously slam you into the ground, “Gasbags” that wear yellow hazmat suits & emit a large smokescreen of gas around its corpse after it’s killed, and several others joining forces to lớn take down your squad. But the thing that separates World War Z from other zombie shooters is its film counterpart-like action sequences where you và your team fight off hordes of zeke as they create the most terrifying human pyramids in attempt lớn scale large walls và fences. Some persistent shots lớn the bottom of the pyramid or a well-placed rocket will topple the zeke forcing them khổng lồ start again. But, if some manage to make their way up to lớn your level, your team will be in a frantic panic trying khổng lồ get rid of those pyramids while also worrying about the zombies clawing at your back.

Zeke swarm in by the hundreds (sometimes seemingly thousands) and it’s still a spectacle that never gets old. Every time a horde begins to rush in, it’s hard not lớn feel overwhelmed before they even reach your personal space. It’s impressive that Saber Interactive was able lớn replicate this feeling on the Switch, as I was confident that the port would be scaled down a bit. I’m glad I was wrong. It seems that the chơi game on the Switch remains unchanged, & that’s mostly a great thing. Looting for upgraded gear, fighting hordes of zombies, & reaching the over of each level with a sigh of relief is what the game is all about. The Switch version brings all of that here, but unfortunately that means it also brings the lulls in some of its missions. Searching multiple bodies for a key to get to the next zone isn’t ever a fun diversion, it’s just tedious & boring. It’s also worth mentioning that the AI is still frustrating khổng lồ play with in offline mode. Getting overrun by zeke even on the easiest difficulties is too common when playing alongside the AI, so it’s well worth getting a team together or simply matchmaking lớn find some tolerable teammates. The competitive modes still feel like an afterthought as well, with little reason or incentive to lớn deviate from the bread and butter that is the co-op campaign.
While the gameplay on the Switch port is still tons of fun, it’s the visuals where the game really shows its limitations on Nintendo’s hardware. I know that it’s almost unfair to lớn compare something on the switch to lớn something on PC or a Series X, but having put in dozens of hours on those versions of the trò chơi has left me inevitably disappointed. With the Switch version of World War Z running in 720p with 30fps in both handheld & docked mode, it looks much better handheld mode versus the blurry & muddy docked mode. Some thiết kế choices have also been made to compensate for the lack of power, such as a limited number of different looking zeke and less detailed environments. It reminds me of the Apex port on Switch: it’s still the same game, but clearly looks inferior to the other platforms. And just a couple of months ago, World War Z’s first major expansion Aftermath was released, bringing 4k resolution with 60fps khổng lồ next-gen consoles. Not lớn mention that the Aftermath expansion brought new missions, characters, weapons, & a brand new first-person mode, none of which are on the Switch version or even available lớn purchase.

Final Thoughts?
It’s clear that Saber Interactive had their work cut out for them with this one. It’s reportedly the toughest challenge they’ve faced in trò chơi development, so I have to lớn commend them on brining the true World War Z experience lớn the Nintendo Switch. Though the original game is here in its entirety, it just isn’t on the same cấp độ as the other platforms & should only the version of choice if a Switch is your only option or if you’re really craving a zombie action shooter lớn have on the go. Otherwise, you’re better off getting World War Z: Aftermath which has the same game along with extra content, looks a whole lot better, và retails for the same exact price.
