The early game can be boring, especially when played alone. However, co-op is exciting at any time, and the late game is an absolute blast. In nightmare mode, stages begin to reach the perfect level of balance between challenge and fun. It isn’t for everyone, but if you’ve been craving some tower-defense, or loved previous Dungeon Defenders games, you’re sure to enjoy Awakened.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dualshockers.com\u002Fdungeon-defenders-awakened-review\u002F","2020-06-17","7.5\u002F10",75,{"id":51,"author":52,"outlet":55,"summary":60,"review_url":61,"review_date":62,"original_score":63,"normalized_score":64},79116,{"id":53,"name":54},4707,"Adrian Ruiz",{"id":56,"logo":57,"name":58,"website_url":59,"score_format":44},38,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FBut-Why-Tho-Logo.jpg","But Why Tho","https:\u002F\u002Fbutwhytho.net\u002F","I enjoyed playing the Nintendo Switch port for DDA. Outside the issues with scaling while playing handheld, the experience was virtually identical to my experience with the PC version last year. Even though I only played offline, I can certainly see DDA being a great party game for Discord communities and game nights, given its easy learning curve and fast-paced playstyle. The variety of hero combinations and playstyles, several game modes, and different game difficulties allow endless hours of replayability, a great moniker for a Nintendo Switch game.
