Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen for Nintendo Switch |OT| Wolves Hunt On The Go, Arisen!
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
refer to the 2nd (bottom) quote in my post there
You can switch classes in town if you don't like it. It's good though there are some really powerful spells.
It starts a little boring, but quickly becomes pretty fun I think. Basically, mage (the starter vocation) is more of a buffer/healer than an attacker which is why it starts slow, but once you change to sorcerer, you're going to be a god.

Trust me on this. I'm not exaggerating when I say Dragon's Dogma quite possibly has the best spellcasting in any game out there. It's why I soooooooo want a DD2 as playing as a mage/sorcerer in this game rocks.
Although it's a good idea not to start the game off as a mage, stick with fighter for a bit before switch to the mage vocation later on.
It's stupid hard for the first few hours, and you'll spend your time running around because everything will nuke your HP, but then I'd say around level 25 the game starts becoming easier. By the midpoint of the story it's smooth sailing for any class until the post game and Dark Arisen content.
Mage can become a Sorcerer though, and that is probably the best pure magic class in any game. Sorcerer shines if you and your pawn are both one, as you can basically twin cast spells to increase effectiveness.
That's a great OP, especially the tips for beginners 👍 I have the game preloaded already but still got to finish a few other games first. I have a feeling this game will be right up my alley, can't wait!
I have this on PC but never got into it. I really, REALLY hope that the performance is good and the game looks decent because for $30 dollars + portability I'll give this a go.

Oh man my switch is about to be my best friend again for this one
This will be the perfect portable time sink lol

Thanks for the responses guys, I'll probably start off as Fighter then and then change to Mage when I get stronger and learn the lay of the land better. I've played this game a few times before but I never was able to get super into it. Hopefully this time is the time.

Yeah. Capcom usually lifts their embargoes a day or two before release.
Like vestan already said, spellcasting in this game is unreached. The effort Capcom put into this is crazy. Same goes for the animations of your character and monsters/beasts.
Another tip: You'll get more EXP when the other two pawns (not your main pawn) have a lower level than you. 1% per level, up to 25% more EXP per pawn. That means, you can get 50% more EXP when you travel with your main pawn only.
BUT DON'T DO THIS ON YOUR FIRST PLAYTHROUGH!
The beginning of the game is quite rough, because of the low stamina bar. Fight your way through this, you are gonna laugh about it later since you get teleport crystals that you can put everywhere you want (5 with every playthrough)
And you can copy almost every item at the Black cat. Saves a lot of time, when play it through the second time.

Yup will buy this again.
Return of my badass tiny bowgirl with questionable outfit choices. (In all seriousness, I honestly love you can go all classic fantasy novel kid character conquering danger OR hardened, aged warrior badass in this. More games should do that.)

Wonderful OT! I love, love, love, the ost and stronger story beats of the game but have it on PS4. With the really distracting popin I'm still on the fence about the switch version but it has my support! Woo!
Was planning on getting this for switch, but I don't want to take my wife away from My Time at Portia, she's hooked lol. Going to get it on the Xbox though and grab it portably for a replay down the road. Can't wait to finally give the game a shot.
Yeah gotta say, looking through the footage, I didn't think this would run well on the switch. Probably because the ps4pro/x are still 30fps.
But either way, magical game. I started a new play through on PS4 a week or so ago. It's my favourite rough diamond last gen. I want a sequel so much. Maybe now that DMCV has come, Itsuno will get to this.

When I first played DD:DA, someone said it was comparable to a fully fleshed out version of their D&D arcade games, just complete with AI partners, longevity and in 3D.
A lot of things are simplified and some things go out of their way to add refinement to the combat.
And brilliant job on the OP, you got me thinking about picking up another version of this game; or at least installing it again.
As always, fingers crossing that this will be the port that green lights a proper sequel...very few games have ever given me the tension and pleasure of fighting and beating that fist ogre in a tight corridor as DD.

It's perfect for Switch. The portability alone makes it a must buy and at $30, it's a nice and super meaty game. I almost got all the achievements for it on 360 before it crapped out and barely chipped through Bitter Black Isle as it was quite tough. But damn if I didn't have a ton of fun and enjoyed every moment of it. Fighting monsters big and small felt epic like no other games since then have successfully replicated.
As someone who loves exploring in RPGs, the excellent combat was a bonus. I hope Itsuno gets to make DD2 because it's going to be one hell of a sequel. I've thought about double dipping on PS4 because the 360 community was dead. Hell, if I had gaming PC, I would play the hell out of it there.
One tip I would add is to wail on the corpses of big monsters before they rot away to break off parts. It's super important. I also echo having a mage in the party as a healer. It's super vital to always have one with healing magic. My favorite class is easily the Magick Archer because you have a bow that fires off homing missiles but every class is viable and fun to use (except for the mage early on). Don't be tempted to use a friend's OP pawn BTW. I made a huge mistake and regret it because it didn't grant any EXP bonuses.

How was the difference between PS4 and PS3? Would be interesting tl compare
Yes they want to but i really doubt it will come to Switch
Probably not. Don't think the game did that well elsewhere. This is more of a quick cash in from Capcom.
I have this on PC but can barely find the time to play it. Pre-ordered, the train journey on Tuesday should be good :)
This game will be my consolation prize for when I'm back from my holiday trip. At least i'll be happy to come back home and get back to work
