Infinity Strash: DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai Nintendo Switch Performance Review!

[@SwitchUpYt]

This game is NOT an RPG… it’s more of an arena brawler. Sure it's not TOP TOP tier but I think it has something to offer (not at full price) it would be a nice 50% sales pickup I reckon, especially for arena fighter/anime fans. Mark

[@SwitchCorner]

I have to agree, I enjoyed it more than most it seems

[@Thisisme173]

Can you provide the one piece abridged show please?

[@LesmondesduJV]

#switchupyt @switchupyt: Can you please confirm if the Japanese dub are available? Thank you

[@theMeshtar]

Just to let you guys know, my replacement Nyxis have arrived this morning. So far so good. Thanks again for the support with the matter 🤗🤗🤗

[@SwitchUpYt]

@@LesmondesduJVyes they are

[@jess2109]

This is the only channel for which I watch reviews of games I've no intention of getting but it's like getting a new ep of one of my favorite shows. I just can't miss it.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Legend thanks

[@Vextipher]

As someone who watched the new anime run while it came out I'm just happy to see more from the series. Hopefully better editons can get traction.

[@UndeadEggmiester]

Honestly finding out this is a arena fighter just killed it for me. Because I was hoping this was a open world action RPG

[@thieftheodore]

Not open world but, if you want DQ arpg, there's DQ Heroes 2. Shame the switch version never came to the west since it has exclusive content

[@Leopez02]

Im fine this isn't open world game, in my opinion there is too much of open world games today so I like this is diffrent RPG action adventure game without open worl. 😊

[@Dave_Machine]

I've never seen it advertised as OW and thus I was clearly expecting some kind of musou game. It is not-so-funny to see how many reviews are totally biased by this false expectations, evidently there was some miscommunication from the publisher

[@durrclips746]

Same I thought it was an rpg

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah I think that’s what has killed its arrival - maybe they didn’t make that clear. Mark

[@Jovayne]

The Dynasty/Samurai Warriors games are among some of my favourite games series, so hearing this has some similarities to those has actually increased the hype! Adding this to the wishlist and waiting for a sale, thanks for covering this!

[@DieselJT]

Cool! I am a little relieved to hear you are enjoying it! I'm waiting on my physical Switch copy to get here!

[@SwitchUpYt]

You’ve just got to know what it is and isn’t and you can enjoy yourself :) - Mark

[@Cloud92390]

Getting this day 1 from Playasia, love the DQ series and its spin offs

[@Ser-Smiley]

Nghh! This does it. Watching this makes me want to read the whole manga again. 😅

[@SwitchUpYt]

Hahah good luck with that brother! Mark

[@prismal418]

Damn, this is the only positive review i´ve seen of the game. Everyone is demolishing it. Sad but at least i don´t have to buy one more game in a really packed end of year.

[@SlimeBlueMS]

"I only buy games that I'm told to"

[@prismal418]

@@SlimeBlueMS You really thought you were doing something with that answer huh

[@Retromanl]

Honestly I think the Trials of Mana remake is underrated for using this type of action combat but in a RPG. More games should attempt to expand on that idea instead, whilst refining it.

[@_TIM1031]

I hope to see one of these for Fate/ Samurai Remnant as well, love the way you guys do your reviews

[@flikkie72]

Wow this looks so much better than I expected! Fresh new twist to the DQ games it seems like ❤

[@David-kb8vh]

Thanks for the heads up. I was on the fence about this one but think I will wait for a sale. Give me some time to work on my backlog.

[@gferreira93]

Oh, that looks too interesting. I’m so sorry wallet…

[@SwitchUpYt]

😂

[@EdgardoJCruz-dk5kv]

Your review is the only one of very few that actually bothers to explain the battle gameplay mechanics. Most others I have seen just written it off as "simple or shallow combat". I was like really? There is got to be more I thought.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Hopefully it just gives a little more info about what’s actually in the game

[@jatats7743]

This looks terrible, imho. Seems like when a game company wants to make a bigger game so they make this to make some money back while making assets for the actual game...

[@erickonasis31]

You're killing it switch up

[@SwitchUpYt]

Thanks mate

[@DragoonMyuutsu]

I really enjoyed this Dragon Quest anime way back, the human character styles were a nice change from the usual Akira Toriyama style and it had a fantastic cast of heroes and villains in an awesome narrative. This is a must own game for me. I know that there will be an import physical for the Switch, is there any word that there'll be a physical for western regions? Because there is DLC for this game and I don't believe that different region games and different region DLC sync.

[@baalfgames5318]

The heroes were absolutely awful. Boring, generic human-sues and not much beyond that, kind of like 90-something percent of anime and games which all have EQUALLY shallow and bland heroes. Meanwhile, the villains were as diverse and charming as usual, plus with the lizard guy, we get the usual garbage of "Non-humans are only allowed to be happy if they s@$% humanity's dick" type garbage. It's like no one knows how to write a story that isn't frustrating and painful to get through anymore.

[@wouldjagaming]

This game looks cool and caught my eye but I’ll wait for the inevitable Black Friday sale.

[@smugnick5458]

Some of us are 30 year olds with kids so we appreciate non open world games. Thank you for the non doom and gloom review

[@SwitchUpYt]

EXACTLY

[@GodlyLaxus]

I agree with you even though I don’t have either of those in common. People complain when it’s not a open world. Not ever games needs to be open world.

[@kko9303]

I was actually worried about this game when I saw the trailer and gameplay. I was thinking that the switch could not pull it off since it's a new game and the hardware is really ageing. Glad that its on solid 30fps instead of trying to be 60.

[@TheExileWolf]

I have the import physical version on the way. Looking forward to playing an anime game I'm not familiar with.

[@LuisSanchez-hc3sl]

So its some Dragon souls quest😂

[@MrJimithee]

Oh yeah, this looks right up my street! Looks like a beautiful world to immerse yourself in... and beat people up

[@cyberbadger6586]

Honestly, thanks for the update. All the hate made me sad but this all makes a lot of sense. I think I’m going to pick it up as planned.

[@SiobhanR28]

This wasnt really on my radar but actually looks like a fun time. Will wait for a sale but this video was so helpful 😊

[@ChillCollins616]

I was led to. understand it was fairly lengthy though? in that case I think it bares up with the price especially since you get the temple too...

[@SwitchUpYt]

Not really - around 12-15 hrs you can finish it I believe (SwitchCorner mentioned that) - Mark

[@thomasbalzer3179]

Thanks again to mention HS rumble. I’m always a fan when done well.

[@TheLeetCasualGamer]

I think it's a little sad that "not interconnected, it's therefore repedetive and shallow" I long for the times where I just play games stage by stage these days. Like you guys are the one to give out the important information. Don't think this quite makes it for me at the price. Always good to wait for a sale when I'm in no rush to play something

[@SwitchUpYt]

Truth

[@ppbunt]

Looks nice but it's not for me. And what on earth is a Strash?

[@robharli]

So the game is currently 50% off which led me here and uhhh it looks good. Sounds like the performance holds up well and the gameplay is fine. So why do I see so many people call it Infinity Trash? 🤨

[@BigEOT3]

I think I’ll pass on this release as October and November have so many big titles to choose from.

[@SilverShion]

I love LOVE Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai . Easily in my top 10 favorite series of all time. So it really hurts to see it's not great but my fanboyism forces me to get this game physical.......on sale.

[@enriquepinero707]

This game would have benefited from having a coop option. Would have jumped on it then . Will wait for a sale.

[@WrathBoup]

Since you are a Dynasty Warriors fan, I would have expected a small comparison with Dragon Quest Heroes II. Nice review

[@IfOUGHTpIRANHAz]

Since you brought it up, if you need a quicker way to get through One Piece, read the manga instead. You can read a chapter in a matter of minutes

[@SwitchUpYt]

Ah nice I do love a Manga

[@harrisonwhaley7872]

Import only for a physical copy in the USA is such a bummer

[@yaldash3592]

Dragon Quest games are usually must buys so glad to hear about another addition to the list! Given the "score", will probably wait for a sale.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah I’d say it would be a 40/50% sales pick up but it’s not that bad at all. Mark

[@sayonarakid]

I love the anime. Its a really awesome classical adventure history. Has exactly 100 episodes. Can't recommend enough! But I don't know about the game. It looks too much like the anime. I really wish it was something different for a new experience. Still I love Dai so maybe I will get in the future.

[@AnimeCoffeeShow]

i relatively just finished watching the anime, really enjoyed it, especially when considering when this story is written, really enjoyable and to the point, i was excited too to this game, but after watching your video, I don't believe I have a good resson to place a big amount in time on it

[@Gambit2483]

FSR is doing for Switch what DLSS will (hopefully) do for Switch 2. I'm extremely impressed with what they have accomplished with this game visually on Switch

[@rickokabir94]

I feel like this will be the combat system for new DQ12 ARPG

[@TheMagnificentGman]

A port of dragon quest viii on switch would be heavenly 🤤. Will any of you be reviewing Not Fifa 24 I'm sure many are interested in seeing what they've done now that they've ditched the legacy edition. Also one pace is absolute clutch 👌

[@SwitchUpYt]

For real!

[@zenbojay9734]

Finally a perspective that doesn't trash talk the game.... I love Musou games and have no problem with grinding. My dog and I will be stopping by my local game store to pick it up tomorrow 👍

[@renereyes2648]

This was solid glad you clarified its not an RPG as i think thats why noisy pixel was as harsh as it was in its review. Not once was the game advertised as one anyway. Im really impressed with the switch'd performance on this one but then again i feel Unreal engine is better optimized for swtch than Unity is. Great review again from you guys glad to see the switch didnt get shaftwd on this port. But ill still be picking up a physical from play asia for PS5

[@Nedwig747]

I know it looks better on other platforms, but it actually looks great on switch! Well done devs well done!

[@makokx7063]

HUGE DISAPPOINTEMENT!!! I’ve been a Dragon Quest fan since the Super Nintendo days. I've played everyone except the online game and absolutely love Monsters and the PS4 games like Heroes and Builders. I have never been disappointed with a dragon quest game so when I saw this I was super excited and preordered. It is essentially watching the anime with the occasional mini-game. It's a crime to even call this a game. 90% anime still clips 10% game play that was made for a toddler. Anyone thinking of getting this game I highly recommend saving your money and just watching the anime or reading the manga.

[@gangstadad8877]

I’ve never played any dragon quest besides DQ11 demo. So I was actually excited for this but I’ve heard horrible reviews so far.

[@golfvdubb]

You mentioned Dynasty Warriors. Does it play like one? Like the Y, Y, Y, X rinse and repeat.

[@SwitchUpYt]

More like Naruto

[@calyppou]

I was a big fan of the manga when I was a kid, even though I knew nothing about DQ, and I was so excited at the announcement! It doesn't look half bad to be honest, might as well grab it when it goes on sale... But first I'll be waiting for your review! Cheers guys!

[@LadyLunaNini88]

I was an absolute fan of the anime, cause it had action and tons of it. Though it might not be a game for everyone, I still think it's worth picking up. Though $60 is not worth the price with the initial content in the game. I'm definitely gonna pick this one up, but I'm gonna wait for a sale to pop up sometime hopefully.

[@JMrealgamer]

I don’t like Arena Fighters and I just bought this game online. Oh well I’m happy to support DQ. DQ Monsters and XII is what I’m waiting for.

[@phongnhanphan346]

Infinity Strash? No, it's Infinity Trash!!! Square Enix has not respected true fans of the anime series. 60 USD for this sh*t? Are they joking?

[@elguason2159]

Yeah ill way for the Dark Prince.😅

[@waxstakes]

I was personally hoping for an rpg but am currently watching the anime and can definitely see why they went this route. Im excited to watch the story play out in english dub since im watching the sub of the anime so at least it wont feel like the exact same experience.

Idk but my version keeps freezing and the sound cuts. Also the load times are just.....no

[@ACoolDude.]

Lovely review ! Just you to know, "coup de grâce" is pronounced like "coup de grass" ahah

[@edwardbrennan3963]

This game looks pretty great visually to me. I never paid the Naruto games, so I'm not as familiar with these anime games, but it looks pretty fun

[@Christophoronomicon]

I remember reading the manga back in the 90's. Great story. Nothing out of the ordinary but well written and well told. Also watched the 90's anime which I thoroughly enjoyed, too bad it was cut short at one of the most important moments of the story. I still need to watch the new anime but I will definitely do that at some point, it's high on my waiting list. As for the game, it looks quite good and the arena brawler slant is interesting for a Dragon Quest game. I'll wait for a sale though, too expensive for my taste, especially since the game only covers about half the anime from what I've heard, so we can expect another one down the line.

[@Christophoronomicon]

@@toxichome Oh it's definitely on my watchlist! I just need to find some time to get through the 100 episodes!

Anyone who hasn't experiened The Adventure of Dai and is also an anime/manga fan should first check out the anime remake or the old manga before trying the game. It's so good, and while I'm not ruling out the chance this game can stand well on its own, you can only ever have your first-time experience of the same story once, so might as well get that experience in the best, most complete way possible.
