World War Z - Nintendo Switch

Cool game. Great graphics. Super interesting. Totally recommend it.

This games was very well made for the switch with high action game play. The AI on your team are awesome and very helpful when gaming alone. Online works very good with drop in and out gaming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you like high pace zombie horde action. Love how you play different characters from different countries making the story more bigger than just one location. This version is way better than the PS and Xbox version not in graphics, but in play on the go or on the TV which the switch shines on.👍

I got this game for my son. I like it because he can play it with his family even if they are far away and they can only play on tv etc

Solid Zombie Action on the Go with Some Trade-Offs World War Z on Nintendo Switch is an impressive effort to bring a full-sized co-op zombie shooter to handheld form. It’s based on the same game that found success on other platforms, and while it does make some compromises, the Switch version still manages to deliver intense, chaotic action that fans of the genre will enjoy. The biggest draw is the sheer scale of the zombie swarms. The game is at its best when hundreds of undead are rushing at you, climbing over one another to get to your position. That sense of overwhelming chaos is intact here, and it’s thrilling to fight through with your teammates. Missions are structured around completing objectives while holding off waves of zombies, and the cooperative focus makes the experience much more enjoyable with friends online. Solo play is possible, but the AI companions can sometimes feel limited compared to real players. Performance on the Switch is better than expected. While the visuals have been scaled down compared to other versions—textures are less detailed, and environments can look a bit flat—the developers did a commendable job keeping the action smooth and stable. The frame rate holds up well most of the time, even during massive swarm moments, which is key for a game like this. Handheld mode is especially fun, as it’s not often you get this kind of large-scale zombie chaos on a portable system. The controls translate nicely to the Switch, though aiming can feel a bit clunky at times compared to playing on a controller with more precise sticks. The sound design deserves praise too—the constant growls, screams, and gunfire really sell the tension. That said, there are some drawbacks. The visuals are noticeably downgraded, and if you’ve played World War Z on other consoles, you’ll immediately see the difference. The content is solid, with multiple campaigns and classes to level up, but progression can feel grindy over time. Playing solo is also not nearly as rewarding as co-op, so the game really shines only if you’re connected online. Overall, World War Z on Nintendo Switch is a surprisingly strong port that captures the intensity and fun of the original game. It’s not as polished visually as other versions, but the fact that it runs well and retains the core gameplay makes it worth picking up—especially if you’re looking for a portable zombie shooter to play with friends.

EDIT 4/19/22: As of this edit, Saber has added Horde Mode and the Marseille campaign (as well as local LAN play!) via a free software update. It is still unknown as to whether the Aftermath DLC will be coming to Switch, but the added value in the free update is astounding. The first thing one needs to do when playing a Switch port of a Triple-A title is to manage their expectations…the Switch is meant to be a hybrid console that can be played on-the-go, and in order to sell enough of said consoles to make a profit, Nintendo has had to accept some limitations in graphical/audio fidelity. I primarily play this in handheld mode, as that is my reason for owning a Switch—AAA titles with portable playability! With that being said, here are my thoughts on the Switch port of WWZ (which I also own on PS4 and PC): Pros: + Swarm Engine works surprisingly well on Switch (Hundreds of zombies on screen at once) and I have experienced no frame rate drop in handheld mode + No reduction of base game characters/skill trees/weapons/equipment + Controls are fairly tight; there is an Aim Assist that is very helpful with JoyCon aiming (it can be adjusted in the Controls menu) + AI Director seems to switch up (I’m terribly sorry for this pun) Swarm timing and map variations just like the Console/PC version + Online Multiplayer seems tight (don’t be surprised to wait a bit to get connected with random players publicly, however) and has voice chat (though people rarely seem to use it) + AI bot teammates are pretty competent at killing zombies and helping you back up when they can, up through the Hard difficulty…any higher than that; you’ll need to find solid human teammates to fill out the roster Cons: - Obvious hits in visual fidelity based on the Switch’s hardware (playing in Docked Mode looks bad) - Audio takes a hit as well (I wish there was an option to download higher-quality audio packs) - No Local/LAN play option (this extends to all versions of the game)…that being said, it has to option to host your own P2P online game, but you still have to be connected to Nintendo Switch online - No Marseilles campaign missions at launch (though Saber’s Twitter feed says it’s incoming sometime this year for free)…unsure as to whether the Aftermath content will be available as DLC; I’d bet my paycheck that Saber is waiting to see how profitable Switch version sales are before they devote a lot of resources to it Summary: If you already love WWZ for being a L4D love letter while still having character/weapon progression and want to play it handheld and aren’t sure about the future of the Steam Deck, this is a solid option. If you want to have a true high-fidelity AAA experience on a console with limited hardware, you are bound to be disappointed. If your expectations are set accordingly and you love the grind-y feel of a game whose primary function is to allow you to mow down relentless waves of zombies, Saber Interactive has given you a real treat in allowing you to take this with you and play anywhere. TL;DR: Manage your expectations with regards to Switch hardware capabilities; play it in handheld mode and you won’t be disappointed.

This game make me remember when I used to play left 4 Dead with my friends…

I played and lived this game on Xbox One. Always thought it would be great on handheld as it's brief mission based. I haven't tried the multiplayer, bit offline pay is great on my Switch Lite. Recommended for Switch owners like me that aren't that into the Nintendo exclusives.

This game was surprisingly a blast to play. It plays similar to Left 4 Dead where you travel in a 4-person squad and essentially try to go from Point A to Point B while trying not to die. The stories were engaging, the level up system is a refreshing add-on, and it's entertaining to watch or play. I ended up buying another copy for my wife to play with me and we have had a blast. The only down-side to this game is there is no introduction or explanation on how to controls work. You just have to play around and discover for yourself. Which is fun sometimes, aggravating other times. Either way, I still very much enjoyed it.

Es un muy buen juego pero para disfrutarlo mejor es recomendable jugar con amigos ya que la IA de los personajes de apoyo no es muy buena que digamos, de lo demas el juego llego en super buen estado y sellado. Muy confiable el vendedor

Veio lacrado.
