Voice chat is completely unsupported both in-game and via the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app, which is basically essential for those looking to dive into the harder difficulties with friends.

Not everything is perfect in Switch land, however, as there are also some issues unique to this port. I think most would agree that is a fair trade for having portable friggin’ Diablo III, yeah? Plus, you and three friends can play locally each on your own Switch without the need for a subscription to Nintendo’s online service, which is required for playing online, of course. That said, it certainly doesn’t look as good as the other versions of the game, but I wouldn’t say its ugly, just unimpressive. I’m happy to report that Blizzard has managed to get this Switch version running at a buttery smooth 60 frames per second in both handheld and docked mode, even when playing with 4 players on a single console. The best part of these Switch exclusives is seeing a chicken run around and collect gold for you while you spawn an army of skeletons and resurrect the dead. Which, even as a huge Zelda fan, I didn’t find all that compelling. But wait, there’s more! Not only do you get the Reaper of Souls expansion and the Rise of the Necromancer pack, but also some Zelda themed cosmetics such as a Ganon skin and a Cucco pet.
