It’s not that Doom’s multiplayer has no worth at all, just that you may struggle to find many player to shoot at online given the potential player base for Switch, and that’s only going to get worse a few months down the line. I would have liked some kind of split screen play – though an unrealistic wish given the Switch’s power – or a local system link option for Doom’s multiplayer, and sadly these aren’t here.Īlso sorely missing is the entirety of Snapmap mode, which is nowhere to be found. While Multiplayer is all accounted for, including all the DLC that was made free earlier this year, it should be noted that it has struggled to maintain a decent player base even on better established platforms. No compromises have been made on the single player content, and that’s no mean feat given how much less power the Switch has compared to other platforms. For some, the idea of venturing to hell and back while on the train or a long flight is an ever enticing way to spend that free time.
Aside from the technicalities of the game’s port, this shooter is still a blast to play and having the option to play it on the go should not be understated.
