With Dragon Quest Heroes I+II having shipped in Japan, Digital Foundry is taking a look at the second game by comparing it to the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita versions.

Dragon Quest Heroes on Switch comes somewhat close to the PS4 edition. However, the Switch version struggles significantly on Nintendo’s platform. The frame rate takes a dip while you’re in battles, and the performance seems to be dragged down even further when playing in portable mode.

Digital Foundry’s full analysis is in the video below.

Dragon Quest Heroes I-II will be at the launch of Switch in Japan. Two games are included in the package, which in itself is a pretty good deal. On top of that though, Square Enix is introducing new content and making improvements. The company shared more details during the Nintendo Switch Experience 2017 last week.

First, HD Rumble is being implemented. You will feel vibration from the Joy-Con when slashing enemies, and it differs for each monster. If you slash a Slime for example, it gives off something like a jelly feeling, and if you slash a Golem, a rough / hard vibration will be felt. Also, while you are slashing a bunch of enemies, you’ll be able to notice that a Metal Slime is hidden somewhere in the crowd.
