My untrained eye can't perceive what FPS it's running at, but in a slow, turn-based game such as this, it doesn't particularly matter. Frame rate seems stable in both docked and undocked modes. Buttons can sometimes be a little confusing and unintuitive, but it doesn't take too long to get used to them. As I found with the other console versions, the controls aren't nearly as fluid as they are on PC. That being said, the game is fantastic, and the port was done very well.

RNG is a heavy factor in this game, and if you are not a fan of that, I wholeheartedly advise you to stay away from Darkest Dungeon. And, yes, it will not always be entirely your fault. And yes, you will likely a lose a lot of units. But how does Darkest Dungeon run on the Switch, and how does it compare to the other consoles? Before heading any further, it is worth a warning to those that have never played: Yes, the game can be difficult. This was, of course, known with its releases on PC and other consoles. The game itself is fun, with extremely high replayability due to the randomized nature of the game.
