Friday The 13th: Game Ultimate Slasher Edition - Nintendo Switch

This game has been out for a while in other consoles and PC. It's a solid game, with varied mechanics to survive or to kill other players if you get to be Jason. It's still has some bugs but nothing important. On switch it has a very important graphical downgrade so be aware that some of the kills will lose some of its flare but it's still enjoyable. Now the big question. Will it stand the pass of time? Well it depends. If you're a fan of the Friday the 13th franchise, then yes it will. The multiplayer is fun and the offline options will keep you playing when others abandon the game. But if you aren't a fan of the franchise I'd say this game is DEFINETLY A PASS. The joy of the game is to immerse yourself in the ambience of the movies and see Jason do his thing, being able to replicate the movies (challenges are specially fun for this) is a blast. Other than that non fans won't find anything interesting to stick around

So happy this became available for the Nintendo Switch!!!! It's got great music, and the setting and the Jason changes frequently. You hear when other people are getting attacked/murdered, so you never know where Jason is. In one game I was able to radio Tommy Jarvis but died before he arrived. I've been attached by burlapsack Jason, zombie unmasked/atomic waste Jason and of course hockey masked Jason. Once you die, you can watch the remaining players fight it out. The more stuff you do and the more times you okay the better the chances are of you surviving the next game. I highly recommend it.

Love the game

Awesome gave tons of fun!. There are some missions you can play offline which will get you up to speed with how to play the game. However the majority of this game is played online so you will need a Nintendo Online account. While playing online you either play a Jason Vorhes or a camp counselor. If you play as Jason it’s you job to kill all the counselors. If you play as one of the 6 counselors it’s your job to escape.

I love horror films. My top two favorite horror characters have to be Freddy Krueger from ”Nightmare in Elm Street” and Jason Voorhees from the ”Friday the 13th” franchises. Almost all the films, and have some memorabilia around the home. When I heard that they were bringing ”Friday the 13th: The Game - Ultimate Slasher Edition,” I was ecstatic! I couldn't believe that they were making a new game based on one of my favorite icons of horror. In the game, you play as either Jason (or one of his various versions in multiple movies!), or one of a group of teenage camp counselors who have to not only survive Jason’s ”wrath,” but also have to complete certain tasks to get away from the infamous Camp Crystal Lake. What is neat about the game is which side you are on, Jason or the counselors. If you happen to be the ”Hockey mask-wearing slasher”, you have different supernatural capabilities to allow you to hunt and eliminate the counselors. On the other end, if you are playing online, the counselors can work together to escape. They can communicate through walkie-talkies, or if they are in the same room, they can talk to each other, and the remainder of the group, including Jason, can’t hear them. It’s a very cool concept, and I'm glad to see that they put that into the game! And, as a bonus, they put a cool poster in with the game, which I hope to one day frame on the wall. There are only a few negatives I have. 1) I'm a casual gamer most of the time. I have some party games, but not any of the big-name Nintendo titles. This game had an extremely steep learning curve. It was intimidating enough that I have not played it as much, and I am still trying to learn how to play. 2) I only found one person (who happens to be a stranger to me!) want to team up online to play. I could not get a large enough group of people to play, which meant I have to play against the CPU, and it is very unforgiving. 3) I am unsure if it is because of the power of the Nintendo Switch, or the programming of the characters and environments in the game, but the graphics aren’t great (which, if it is due to the graphics of the Switch system, I completely understand!), and at times took away from the game. For those three reasons, I dropped my score down from five stars to four. I really like the franchise, and on Nintendo's eShop there is an isometric puzzle game based on Jason and the movies, which is more my speed at the moment. I hope in the future I can get better at the game and find more players, but at least I have yet another item to add to my collection.

Good game but sad the servers for muli are down now

The game's product explanation is misleading. I bought this under the pretense it was multiplayer and then you could play as Jason or counselor. It is, but not in the sense of multiplayer "together" or switching between characters. Both of these options are only possible "online", so you each have to have the game on different TVs. Supposedly this game isn't finished and there are to be updates for completion but I have yet to see them. I do not want online games, we want to play as a group. I would've returned but it was after the 30 days before I figured this out.

I played this on the PS4 and I will admit I wasn’t a big fan of it, however now that’s it’s on the Switch I play it often and have lots of fun. The case artwork is amazing and the poster you get in it is just a neat little bonus any Friday The 13 Fan would like to have. Gameplay 4/5, Graphics 5/5 for being on the Switch. It’s just really better on the switch. So get it before Jason gets you.

Pretty good!

A parte que llego muy rapido, es un juego muy divertido, lleno de suspenso y mucha habilidad. No te hace parpadear ya que hay que estar super atento a todas las areas y movimientos que hay para escapar de Jason o para aniquilar a las victimas. En linea, el juego es mas divertido ya que es mas impredecible que el modo offline. Lo recomiendo si te gusta el suspenso, la sangre y el miedo.

Muito bom, original, veio tudo certo e o jogo é muito bom.

Très bien

This game is insulting its so bad on every level. Most of the game isn't even available unless you pay for a monthly Nintendo subscription. The bits that are available are brutally bad. Controlling Jason in the few things you can actually do reminded me of playing gta and having too many drinks then trying to drive. There is no walk through of any kind and no instructions so you have no idea what you are doing. End of story this game is horrible to play and the few minutes of bad game play certainly isn't worth the price. The game is so bad it certainly wouldn't encourage me to buy a subscription.
