Dungeon Defenders: Awakened

Test Notes:
Performance runs at a dynamic resolution and at 30 frames per second.

Some frame drops can occur when there is a lot of enemies on the screen. The screen can be blurry sometimes on Handheld Mode. The resolution is sharper in Docked Mode. The majority of the game was played in Handheld Mode.

There was some flicking on the environment for the Holiday level called Yuletide Village.

Additional Notes:

Reader’s Precautionary Note: While this game can be played offline, select stages and challenges can be more challenging single player especially on much higher difficulties so while the main campaign is beatable offline, since there is no local split screen or wireless multiplayer, the only other option to complete some other content in the game is to have a Internet Connection and a Nintendo Switch Online membership. At this time as of July 14th, 2025, there are no patches and the game is complete on cart, however, should an extra patch be planned in the future, a download is also required for online multiplayer.
