Unlike some other re-releases, Resurrected is wholly justified, because Diablo II‘s legacy has lived on for all this time through hardcore fans and the modding community.Īgain, it’s important to remember that this preserves the original game, as you can swap the style between “retro” and modern with a quick tap (on PS5 it’s L2+the TouchPad). It’s a large array of playstyles in all, in tandem with the aforementioned triple ability tree system. For this review, I tested a few classes, most notably ice sorceress and elemental druid (you can also choose amazon, necromancer, barbarian, paladin, or assassin). Get the digital version of The House of the Dead: Remake for $24.99, or check out the physical limited editions from publisher Forever Entertainment (worldwide shipping available).The depth of Diablo II is very much alive and well, as is the sense of experimentation of taking a character for a spin. If you're a fan of the original game, consider the remake a safe, bloody buy. We'll have more to say about The House of the Dead: Remake soon. See our multiplayer details story to learn how the co-op and competitive modes work. The House of the Dead: Remake is a light-gun-style rail shooter that supports 2-player local co-op.

Let's hope an Xbox Series S|X version (unannounced) will really showcase the remake's graphics work sometime in the future. Trust us, though: the Switch version is very playable in Performance Mode. Disabling Performance Mode will result in higher quality graphics with a lower frame rate. This gallery showcases Performance Mode, in which graphical detail is dialed down a bit in order to maintain a smooth frame rate. Gaze upon our many screenshots of the first level to see! The Switch version also adds an optional performance mode in order to keep the frame rate high. Naturally, it substantially improves the graphics over those of the aging 1996 arcade game.

Resurrected by Forever Entertainment, the same masterminds behind Panzer Dragoon: Remake, this new release is a faithful from-the-ground-up recreation of SEGA's original House of the Dead light-gun arcade game. The House of the Dead: Remake is finally available on Nintendo Switch.
