The Switch version also offers the option to disable chromatic aberration if you choose, but unlike the other versions, you cannot increase the field of view - it's locked at 90 degrees on Switch. We found the effect to work well, and to our eyes, it's invaluable in hiding the port's much lower frame-rate. Regardless of how you play it though, Doom still features the excellent motion blur present in all other versions of the game and if you don't like it, it can even be disabled from the menu. The presentation holds up on the Switch's six-inch tablet-style screen - though resolution drops to around 576p here - but blow it up on your HDTV and it starts to break down into a soupy mess. This is topped off with Doom's excellent temporal aliasing, only in this case, the resolution is so low that the TAA ultimately results in a very blurry-looking game. Beyond that, the depth of field buffer and alpha effects all appear to be rendered at quarter resolution, which can give a 360p-like presentation in some respects. In select scenes, the resolution does jump up, but typically only when nothing is happening. It's difficult to get an exact figure due to the super-aggressive temporal anti-aliasing but we've commonly observed results in the 1088ењ†12 range while connected to an HDTV. As with the original, the Switch version makes use of an adaptive resolution and the typical results observed during gameplay tend to hover around the 600p mark when docked.

Contrary to pre-release expectations, Doom does not run at 720p on the Switch - though the resolution may scale to those heights in less complex scenes. Unsurprisingly, image quality has taken a massive hit. Of course, while the game may be content complete, it doesn't take long for the cutbacks, compromises and sacrifices to make themselves known. After all, Doom 3 for the original Xbox, a comparable port in terms of accomplishment, featured levels which were reduced in size and complexity to work within the constraints of the system. Every enemy, weapon and feature is present and accounted for and that's an important thing to consider. Encounters play out just as they did on the more powerful console platforms, and every stage is presented as a complete experience. There was concern that stages would need to be divided up to fit into memory but that's not the case at all. This port is content complete, and every level from the original release is present and correct.

The fact it exists at all is somewhat miraculous, and we can't go in expecting a pixel-for-pixel match with the PS4 and Xbox One versions. In assessing this port, a little perspective is required.

This is mobile technology pushed kicking and screaming to its absolute limits.ДЄgainst all odds, developer Panic Button has succeeded in bringing the entirety of the Doom experience to Nintendo's latest machine and it mostly works, though the brutal nature of many of the compromises may well be too much for series purists. There are echoes of this in Bethesda's Switch port of the Doom 2016 reboot. Doom for the Super NES, sluggish though it may be, was a technical showpiece for Nintendo's 16-bit machine while the Game Boy Advance conversion felt like holding the future in your hands. Going back more than two decades, Nintendo hardware has always had a unique relationship with the series.

One of the most celebrated FPS franchise giants has finally returned to the House of Mario.
