- 7.03000th Duel is a highly enjoyable Metroidvania that some would argue borrows a bit too much from Dark Souls. With engaging combat bolstered by lots of unlockable weapons, a decent progression system, and some truly memorable boss fights, it can stand proud amongst the many examples of the genre currently available on Switch, even if it doesn't quite do enough to feel truly unique.
- 3000th duel is a good game, it doesn’t particularly shine for its innovation, but what it does, it does well. If you decide to purchase this game you can expect around 20 hours of content, allegedly padded by the lengthy rooms and the hard bosses, thus being around 12/15 hours of actual content.
- It’s a beautiful game, even if not all of the environments are the most dynamic, and it runs incredibly smooth. The stark contrast in difficulty for bosses and normal foes can be a bit shocking at first, but you’ll quickly be able to enjoy to the carnage of the hack ‘n slash sections as well as the strategic intricacies of the boss battles. For fans of either of these genres, 3000th Duel is worth your time.
- I like 3000th Duel overall. The combat is fun and strategic, the hero has a good weight to him/her and control is responsive and fluid. It’s not perfect but it’s enjoyable. It will appeal to the kind of gamer (like me) who enjoys punishing combat in a game that, through practice and sheer force of will, can be overcome and winds up feeling great.
- 3000th Duel is a side-scrolling Souls-like game that utilizes the well-known hardcore gameplay with beautiful 2.5D graphics and a mesmerizing soundtrack. With the story being hidden under some rocks, you might just want to play the game for its challenging gameplay. The overall good performance of the game makes it one that you want to keep on trying, even after you died for the tenth time on the first boss. If you persevere and manage to get farther into the game, this patience is rewarded with nicer surroundings, trickier enemies and better weapons.
