Can you switch to 3rd person view in the Switch version

I heard you can do it in some of the other versions

Is it good? I've never played Overwatch or any hero shooter btw, but since this is free I might dip on it just to see if the genre is for me.

If it had cross progression I'd try it on Switch but I've unlocked a lot on PC already

Is this game's cross-platform play opt-in like Fortnite (where you'll only play cross-platform if you party up with someone on another platform) or automatic (so if I matchmake at all I'll end up in games with Xbox users)?

Just wondering, it really doesn't matter to me but I can't tell right now.

This is a fun game. Nice and fast, perfect for some quick handheld games like Splatoon. Think I'll buy the founders pack.

I bought it day 1 while it was like 13 dollars on mexican eshop. Since than performance stabilised and bugs are less and less seen. Definately a game you can invest long term. Login daily and get bonuses also do the daily quests so earn some gold to spend on some of the skins. Overall very solid hero shooter and online competitive game on switch.

Ps: please play the objective :)

I don't know if it's just me as I age but bleeding edge visuals don't mean much to me nowadays. I can see the difference between a 1080P and 4K display and I have a 4K HDR set but just something about playing a handheld game with a maximum of 720p resolution on the go seems magical to me.

I played this on my Xbox 1X and it didn't grab me. Yet being able to play this game while waiting in the dentist office makes me smile. Just made my phone a hotspot and connected my Switch and away we go. I love the switch for this reason alone
I wish I could just put a sim in my switch for 4G network anywhere

If anyone is on the fence, just download it, since it is free!

Bought the founders pack as soon as it got out, and been loving it ever since!

Amazing hero shooter!

Nice! But I think I'll wait and see if they'll add gyro controls. I can't go back to twin stick after experiencing gyro.

Just tried it and my team won. I got quite a few kills. I haven't played a FPS online competitively for a long time but playing on the Switch me pull me in.

I enjoyed this more than Fortnite.

If it's like the PC version you play against bots until you're level 5 and you feel like a fucking MLG God and then you go up against humans and get that taste slapped out of your mouth.

Played 5 games in handheld mode and really digging it. It's unapologetically an Overwatch clone but it's still a ton of fun

Does it have voice chat? I imagine trying to play a team based game like Overwatch would be hard without being able to communicate.

Really excited to give this a go! F2P games like this and Fortnite have been a delight to get on Switch for downtime. Bring on Warframe!

Wow, this is really fun, I might have to pay up for all the heroes!

Anybody know the best use of real currency? Battle pass or all heroes unlock, or both?

Bought it Day1 for full price. Played 5 hours total because Fortnite came out and I've been playing FN almost exclusively lol

Gold is kinda useless tbh lol. I have a milllion gold and nothing to use it on. You can use it to level up your champion of choice to get their abilities, but I'm a founder and already have the majority of champions abilities because of it.

Sorry, by "real currency" I was more asking how many gems I should buy and what to spend them on!

I don't understand why I can't get into Fortnite. I'm just having a blast on this way more than Fortnite. Seems more striaght forward with shorter matches for quick play. And I like the variety of classes to choose from.
