That was because Aquaria ported the game themselves and failed to do a good job. You will see similar results when Last Recollection arrives on Switch this year, as it was recently rated by Australian boards.
Yeah, Aquria ports are something. I still enjoyed the game so it's not really a big complaint
I honestly do not understand Bandai Namco's logic in porting their anime games late to Switch. It just seems like massive missed opportunities, over and over. Hell, any anime set in modern times will feature a Switch.
? Seems like Monkeycraft did the port: https://monkeycraft.co.jp/work.html
I wish they did like other devs and use the Switch as a baseline for non-AAA efforts and then "up-port" those games to other systems instead of the other way around.
It has little to do with their engine since they share it with whatever porting company they use. It’s more they just don’t think about the Switch until a yr+ down the line when they can cheaply port it over using an external company; or when someone on a team remembers the Switch.
The interesting thing about this is that Bandai's catalogue of games in the last 5+ years have been done in UE. Their internal studio, Bandai Namco studios, has done mostly UE work: Arise, Scarlet Nexus, Tekken, Blue Protocol, etc.
It's on the easier side for sure. It's about equivalent to DQXI (non draconian mode), or the Fairy Tail game. If those ring a bell then you'll know exactly what to expect in terms of difficulty.
