World war z switch7/3/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() While the gameplay on the Switch port is still tons of fun, it’s the visuals where the game really shows its limitations on Nintendo’s hardware. The competitive modes still feel like an afterthought as well, with little reason or incentive to deviate from the bread and butter that is the co-op campaign. Getting overrun by zeke even on the easiest difficulties is too common when playing alongside the AI, so it’s well worth getting a team together or simply matchmaking to find some tolerable teammates. It’s also worth mentioning that the AI is still frustrating to play with in offline mode. Searching multiple bodies for a key to get to the next zone isn’t ever a fun diversion, it’s just tedious and boring. The Switch version brings all of that here, but unfortunately that means it also brings the lulls in some of its missions. Looting for upgraded gear, fighting hordes of zombies, and reaching the end of each level with a sigh of relief is what the game is all about. It seems that the gameplay on the Switch remains unchanged, and that’s mostly a great thing. It’s impressive that Saber Interactive was able to replicate this feeling on the Switch, as I was confident that the port would be scaled down a bit. Every time a horde begins to rush in, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed before they even reach your personal space. Zeke swarm in by the hundreds (sometimes seemingly thousands) and it’s still a spectacle that never gets old. But, if some manage to make their way up to your level, your team will be in a frantic panic trying to get rid of those pyramids while also worrying about the zombies clawing at your back. Some persistent shots to the bottom of the pyramid or a well-placed rocket will topple the zeke forcing them to start again. ![]() But the thing that separates World War Z from other zombie shooters is its film counterpart-like action sequences where you and your team fight off hordes of zeke as they create the most terrifying human pyramids in attempt to scale large walls and fences. There are special zombies like “Bulls” that charge at you in full riot protection gear in hopes to continuously slam you into the ground, “Gasbags” that wear yellow hazmat suits and emit a large smokescreen of gas around its corpse after it’s killed, and several others joining forces to take down your squad. You go through levels with three other players a la Left 4 Dead style as you gun down the undead or “zekes” as they call them in the game. Somehow, someway, the team at Saber Interactive has successfully put the base World War Z game on the Switch along with everything that made it great in the first place. With so many improvements made on the other platforms the past couple of years, it can be tough not to compare the Switch port to its much superior original version. The only problem is that, with the original game out for quite some time on every other platform, many players’ experiences on the Switch won’t be their first with the game itself (mine included). This is exciting news since there really isn’t anything like it on the Switch and having a fast-paced zombie shoot ‘em up on the go certainly sounds awesome. They were responsible for the Nintendo Switch version of The Witcher 3, which was widely regarded as an impressive port as it managed to fit the expansive game onto the more limited hardware without too much compromise.After two years since its original release, Nintendo Switch owners finally get to experience Saber Interactive’s third person co-op survival shooter World War Z.
