Of course no spoilers, expect to die a lot and there will be frustrations. But you will figure out to learn from your mistakes and how to pull off strategies to beat your opponents and bosses in the game. And once you've beaten certain bosses that were tough as nails, you may feel a sense of great accomplishment.
This version may not have great graphics and better visuals like on other platforms like the PS4, PC, and XBOne. But it still runs great on Switch! On handheld & tabletop mode it runs at 720p 30fps. And on docked (TV mode) it runs at 1080p 30fps.
So far, I've put over 375 hours on this game, even though I haven't reached the final boss. Can't wait to try this game online to play with friends. This just became one of my favorite games on Switch, next to TLOZ: Breath of The Wild which I'm still currently playing on Wii U. Taking this game on the go is a plus whether you're offline or online. Overall, I highly recommend this game to hardcore gamers and to gamers who just want a bit of a challenge! ;)
Update: 6/13/2019 - So far I've logged in over 580 hours. And (spoilers) after finally reaching the final boss which took me five to over six tries, I have finally beaten the game for the first time! Whew, what a relief! Thanks again to Bandai Namco and FromSoftware. They've made a great classic action/rpg video game. Thanks to them for releasing this for the first time on Nintendo's console, a hybrid console, Nintendo Switch! Can't wait to replay this game again. (Spoilers) Just found out after beating the game, I get to use all the items, and weapons that I've acquired from the first game on my second playthru. Definitely, game deserves 5/5 Stars!! ;)

This is a phenomenal game, and if you haven't played it or want a solid portable version, this port is great.
Update: the online experience is the same as any other version, in all its broken glory.
With more time in docked mode, this port has some interesting frame rate issues. It runs at 30fps at 720, but does stutter a bit at 1080p. The interesting part is that it seems to have trouble when a bunch of character models are on the screen. In the undead parish zombie spam area, for instance, when all the hollows are on the screen their animations run at about 15 fps. Another place this is noticeable early-game is with the hellkite dragon's tail viewed under the bridge. It runs in slideshow mode for the first 5 or so seconds that it is on screen, then smooths out. This issue only affects the animations, the game itself seems to keep running at 30.
Despite the animation issues, I am going to keep this at 5 stars; If I want buttery smooth performance I have a PC. This is still a portable version of the game, and at the day that's all I wanted.
I’ve finally finished DS RM on Switch, DLC and all. I can finally say that this is a solid port of probably my all time favorite game. Other than minor frame rate issues experienced for about 20 seconds in one part of the game, it is smooth as butter at 30 FPS. Highly recommend.
UPDATE - 01/04/2019
I’m at about 30 hours now and have had almost no issues. I experienced some minor frame rate issues in one specific area (blanking on it now) where it went down to about 20 FPS for a few seconds. Other than that the game has ran flawlessly.
ORIGINAL REVIEW
Don't listen to the haters. This is a great port for the Switch, it runs pretty well. I've played about 8 hours so far and haven't run in to any major issues. The buttons being switched (lol) around is a little bit annoying at first, but after playing for a few hours it doesn't really cause any issues.
The game runs at 30 FPS as many have said, both docked and undocked. I don't find this to be too annoying honestly; and if you think about it, it's actually more similar to the original game as the original ran in 30 FPS. I question whether the Switch can run this game at higher FPS for sure, but it is not deal breaking considering what you get out of it...This isn't a competitive first person shooter.
What else could I say about the game that hasn't been said? It's a classic. The level design is amazing, the combat is amazing. It's a game with very mysterious but thought-provoking lore that is explained to you through items and vague hints. You die a lot, but it doesn't suck and isn't overly frustrating... It's fun dying and trying to find a way to get past where you died.
I can't recommend it enough.
