Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen compared

It looks like Capcom and the porting team really put in the elbow grease this time – because the Nintendo Switch port looks almost identical to its PS4 counterpart and that really is not bad to say the least.

About Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen received positive reviews. On Metacritic, the PC version scored 81/100, the Xbox 360 version scored 77/100, and the PlayStation 3 version scored 80/100.

IGN scored the PC version 8.9/10, calling it a “thoroughly great action RPG” and stating “it has near perfect fluidity and all the epic feel of the Xbox 360/PS3 edition” and is a “valid alternative to The Witcher 3 or Dark Souls.

The critically acclaimed action-RPG Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen combines exhilarating and deep combat with the freedom to explore a huge open world. Enter the high-fantasy setting of Gransys, a land where fabled monsters such as dragons roam.

Choose between three different starter classes known as jobs, which you can further develop for a total of nine unique classes. Use the deep combat system to wield devastating skills and magics to take on fabled monsters or climb onto them for an up close and personal attack!

As the Arisen, you are joined on your adventure by followers known as Pawns. This unique gameplay system not only allows you to be joined by up to three of these AI companions and take advantage of their assistance during combat and exploration, but to exchange Pawns with friends and other players online. Each Pawn’s appearance can be designed with a detailed character creation system, letting you share your customised companions with the community.

All previously released paid DLC is included, making this the ultimate version of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen.
