Review: Stellar Blade: Complete Edition (Switch 2) – Perfectly Playable, Despite Drawbacks

Shift Up’s action game *Stellar Blade: Complete Edition* has arrived on Nintendo Switch 2, bringing its blend of Soulslike challenge and cinematic character action to a new audience. The review finds it thrilling and enjoyable despite compromises in the port, making it a solid option for Switch 2 players.

The story follows Eve, a super-soldier fighting monstrous Naytibas on a post-apocalyptic Earth, though its characters and plot are described as shallow and predictable. Combat is the game’s strength: players combine attacks, timed blocks and parries with energy-powered Beta Skills, while demanding boss fights reward learning enemy patterns. The excerpt also mentions new Bayonetta cosmetic DLC, but does not detail the port’s specific drawbacks.
