Pokken Tournament DX

Pokkén Tournament DX is a thoroughly enjoyable experience that undoubtedly deserves your time. The game impressed on every level; the core fighting gameplay is superb and incredibly extensive, the customisation options are truly staggering, and the attention to detail is abundantly clear. Not entirely faultless, but very close to it, this game is the Switch's next must-buy.

If you are weighing up the decision on whether you should buy Pokkén Tournament DX, it’s an easy one to make. Despite its flaws, it’s a fantastic fighting game that is easy to pick up, making it appealing to the casual and hardcore audience alike. Fans of Pokémon would be crazy to overlook it, and fighting game fans should find something unique here.

New Pokémon, new game modes and a slight graphical touch up have made a decent Wii U title into a fun, addictive and deep fighting game for the Switch.

Pokken Tournament DX is still one of the most well-executed fighting games that’s able to cater to casual players, while also delivering enough depth and complexity to master for those looking for it. While the bulk of the title hasn’t changed much, it’s the small things that really add up. The expanded roster and improved local play, combined with the game’s existing fantastic gameplay and rewarding sense of progression, makes this the definitive version of Pokken Tournament.

Although it doesn't improve much from the vanilla version, Pokkén Tournament DX is an enjoyable fighter that both Pokémon fans and fighting game fanatics will thoroughly appreciate. Let's just hope Pokkén Tournament 2 includes a story mode.

If you were still playing Pokken Tournament on the Wii U or intend to play competitively, you shouldn’t miss this version’s five new characters and slight tweaks like Daily Challenges and Team Battles. But if your copy of the original was gathering dust, you’re not missing anything more than the equivalent of a DLC patch.

Pokken is a fighting game that while decent could do with understanding that complexity doesn’t necessarily equal depth.

グラフィックが凄い。迫力満点の試合が楽しめる。演出が凄い。60fpsで滑らかな試合が楽しめるのも今作の凄いところ。現時点の話ではありますが、スイッチのポケモンゲームで1番オススメです。

My boy Chandelure and I absolutely swept the single player mode only to get crushed by the first person I played against online, so all in all, a pretty standard fighting game experience that happens to also feature some of my favorite Pokémon. I only wish there was more personality or stakes to the game, as the “story” mode might as well not exist for how little impact it left on me.

This seems to be a hidden gem of sorts. Not many seem to know about this game, but I think it's a quite competent fighting game experience.

It feels like there is not much to do in this game, there's no proper story mode just league tournaments which is the only thing you have to work towards as all pokemon are already unlocked at the start. It feels like Bandai are just trying to make every game like Tekken but its just making them boring, for what you can do i don't feel like this is worth £50, only positive i have is that the graphics look really nice.

The game got a small rooster. I'm kinda unsure of the fighting mechanics. At first it is really fun, but after a while it gets really repetitive and not really skill based.
