Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is only a few days away from finally becoming available on Nintendo Switch — giving players a hack and slash title that will tell the story that took place before the events of the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
A playable demo of the game has been available for about a month now, and this has given players the chance to try out Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity for themselves, but this also showed that there were still some issues that the developers needed to address before the game finally hits store shelves.
The original Hyrule Warriors ran at 30FPS on the Nintendo Wii U, but when the game was ported to the Nintendo Switch the developers at Koei Tecmo capped it at 60FPS, so players expected this to be the case with the new game, and the demo for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity revealed that this was not the case.
